Your mission
The Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute (IJC) is a comprehensive cancer research center dedicated to conducting research and driving innovation in the epidemiological, preventive, clinical, translational, and basic aspects of leukemia and other hematologic malignancies, with the final aim of finding a cure for these diseases.
It was created in 2010 and has experienced exponential growth.
The IJC is part of the network of Excellence Research Centers of Catalonia (CERCA) and was accredited as a Severo Ochoa Center of Excellence by the Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities in 2024.
Since 2018, the Institute has also been accredited by the Scientific Foundation of the Spanish Association Against Cancer (FCAECC).
Additionally, IJC is integrated into the Institut de Recerca Germans Trias i Pujol (IGTP) accreditation as an Accredited Health Research Institute (IIS) by the Carlos III Health Institute (ISCIII).
The IJC's main headquarters is located within the Can Ruti Biomedical Campus, alongside other leading biomedical institutions, providing direct access to cutting-edge scientific and technological facilities, as well as complementary community services.
The IJC has six locations integrated into reference hospitals: Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol, Hospital Clínic, Hospital Sant Pau, Hospital Trueta, Hospital del Mar, and Hospital San Joan de Déu.
This facilitates close collaboration between basic and clinical researchers, fostering translational research that integrates basic science with clinical practice in clinical settings.
RESEARCH DESCRIPTION
The Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute (IJC) is an independent biomedical research institute (CERCA) opened by the Catalan Government in 2010.
IJC performs biomedical research and personalized medicine in the field of malignant blood diseases, especially leukemia.
One of the current priorities of the IJC is the understanding of the molecular basis underlying malignant blood diseases.
This basic knowledge is the foundation for implementing new therapeutic strategies to improve patient survival.
Your profile WHAT WE NEED
We are seeking applicants with a strong scientific background and an excellent track record in research related to cancer heterogeneity, cellular hierarchies, and tumor microenvironment.
Candidates should demonstrate expertise in cutting-edge methodologies such as lineage tracing, in vivo modeling, and transcriptomic analyses including single-cell transcriptomics.
A deep interest in understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms of cancer initiation and progression is essential.
Familiarity with studying processes such as cellular plasticity and their role in cancer and therapeutic resistance is highly valued.
