The CNAG-CRG, the CRG and “La Caixa” Foundation is offering the opportunity of your life for developing your scientific career on biomedicine in one of the best cities for do it: Barcelona.
Since 2008 "la Caixa" Foundation has been supporting International PhD Programmes from selected Spanish biomedical institutes, such as the CRG, to promote excellent science in Spain.
"la Caixa" Foundation is currently providing support to the CRG and other Spanish Centers of Excellence recognised with the Severo Ochoa Award by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness.
The CRG is recruiting within the CRG International PhD Fellowship Programme "la Caixa"-Severo Ochoa, highly talented and motivated students with outstanding qualifications to carry out a PhD in biomedicine at the CRG (including the CNAG).
Fellows will benefit from an exciting international scientific environment and an integrated training programme, including access to state of the art infrastructure , lectures and seminars, specialised scientific and technological courses, complementary skills training and career development activities, postdoctoral symposia and retreats, as well as social activities.
Successful candidates will join research groups with top-level scientists and will carry out their research in one of the 5 scientific fields that are offered, including the Genomic Analysis field at the CNAG-CRG.
In the CNAG-CRG one of the group leaders who have expressed interest in recruiting a student is Ivo Gut, Director of the CNAG and Applied Genomics Group Leader. His team’s main line of research is mining, analysis and re-analysis of genomic data from biomedical studies. The objective is to answer questions that go beyond the initial hypotheses that underlay the studies to shed light on how genome sequence, structure and usage relates to disease, disease initiation, disease progression and disease mechanisms. The team also studies genomic features related to disease at different cellular levels. The source is data produced at the CNAG combined with data produced elsewhere. The disease areas range from rare to common disorders including cancer. The team analyses data generated within the Spanish and EU-funded projects ICGC-CLL, AirPROM, BLUEPRINT, RD-Connect, IBD-Character, Iberian Lynx, Malaspina, and BBMRI-LPC.
