Open positions

At the Endocrine Regulatory Genomics Laboratory we are looking for a laboratory technician to join our group. 

The successful candidate will join an enthusiastic and collaborative team in an excellent multidisciplinary scientific environment. He/She is expected to provide support to the Endocrine Regulatory Genomics laboratory by performing molecular biology experiments. Together with other members of the team the successful candidate is also expected to develop and apply new techniques to tackle the biological questions addressed in the laboratory and more specifically in a project related to type 1 diabetes.

The requirements for this position include:

    • Experience in cell culture and molecular biology techniques. Experience in preparation of ‘omics experiments (Ex. ATAC-seq, UMI4C and ChIP-seq) will be evaluated positively.
    • Highly developed organization skills
    • Capable of working in a group, and with a high degree of work autonomy
    • Good oral communication skills in English
    • Hold a B.Sc, M.Sc or PhD in molecular biology or related field.

As part of the Pompeu Fabra University, the lab is located at the PRBB, one of the strongest scientific campuses in south Europe. With all the state-of-the-art research facilities necessary, PRBB offers an ideal scientific and international environment.

Please send your CV and contact details of at least 1 referee to lorenzo.pasquali@upf.edu

At the Endocrine Regulatory Genomics Laboratory we are looking for a highly motivated researcher as new member of our group. 

The successful candidate will join an enthusiastic and collaborative team in an excellent multidisciplinary scientific environment. He/She will lead a project centered on genome regulation with the aim of understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying Type 1 diabetes as a follow up of recent studies from the group: Ramos-Rodríguez et al. Nature Genetics 2019 doi:10.1038/s41588-019-0524-6.

The project will involve the application of cutting edge molecular biology techniques. Candidates with both biological and/or medical background are welcome. An experience in molecular biology techniques and cell culture is expected. The project will mainly involve wet lab experiments and will require a close interaction with bioinformatic data scientists to interpret the outcome of the genomic experiments. Computational knowledge will be evaluated positively.

The position is open for candidates holding a PhD. Candidates need to prove a strong commitment to achieving research excellence and interest to conduct independent research. Candidates have to be fluent in both written and spoken English.
