The Institute
The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) is an international biomedical research institute of excellence, based in Barcelona, Spain, with more than 400 scientists from 44 countries. The CRG is composed of an interdisciplinary, motivated, and creative scientific team supported by a flexible and efficient administration and high-end, innovative technologies. In April 2021, the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) received the renewal of the 'HR Excellence in Research' Award from the European Commission. This is a recognition of the Institute's commitment to developing an HR Strategy for Researchers, designed to bring the practices and procedures in line with the principles of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers (Charter and Code). Please check out our Recruitment Policy.
The role
The scientists will be based in the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), Barcelona, in the Regulatory Genomics and Diabetes lab (Ferrer, Bonas-Guarch) jointly with the European Genome-phenome Archive / Universitat Pompeu Fabra team led by Navarro and Rambla. Both postdoctoral scientists will work in a broader group of analysis teams from CRG, CNAG, European Genome-phenome Archive, CIC BioGune, and Universidad de Murcia, with expertise covering diverse areas such as genome sequence analysis, statistical genetics, machine learning, or regulatory genomics. The ImpactT2D consortium is also composed of outstanding clinical research centers across Spain.
About the lab
The overarching goal of the Regulatory Genomics and Diabetes lab is to understand the basis of gene regulation in pancreatic beta cells and to deploy this knowledge to discover genetic causes and treatments for human diabetes. The lab combines computational analysis of in-house and external genomic datasets including RNA-seq, ChIP, HiChIP, pcHiC, sc genomics, CRISPR screens, and genome variant sequencing, along with human stem cell-based and animal model systems. It is a multidisciplinary team that currently includes four computational scientists and six experimental scientists, many of whom carry their own genome data analysis.
