POSTDOC, COMPUTATIONAL SINGLE CELL EPIGENOMICS | CRG ONLINE RECRUITMENT PORTAL

The Institute The Cent re 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 by an interdisciplinary, motivated and creative scientific team which is supported both by a flexible and efficient administration and by high-end and innovative technologies.
In April , 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    We are hiring an excellent postdoctoral professional who will play a relevant role in computational at the lab.
This is one of two computational genomics positions currently advertised by the group.
This position is intended to develop a project that uses statistical analysis of single cell epigenomic data to understand the role of noncoding variants underlying disease.
About the l ab  The Regulatory Genomics and Diabetes lab aims to uncover genetic mechanisms causing diabetes mellitus, and to develop translational applications.
The group is particularly interested in understanding how genomic information is used to program gene expression in the developing and adult pancreatic beta cells, as well as in identifying regulatory defects underlying disease.
It is a highly multidisciplinary team, with expertise in the analysis of mutant stem cell-derived beta cell organoids and mice, single cell epigenomics, genetic screening, statistical genetics and integrative analyses.
It is funded by European Research Council, the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, the Generalitat de Catalunya CERCA program, an AXA chair, European Foundation for the Study of Diabetes, the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions program, and the CIBERDEM diabetes network.
