Fully Funded PhD in 3D Gene Regulation in Development and Evolution Centro Andaluz de Biología del Desarrollo in Spain

PhD opportunity in Evolution of Cell Type Programs and Genome Regulation at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), Barcelona, Spain. This funded PhD project sits within the CRG International PhD Fellowships Programme 2027 and focuses on the origin and evolution of cell type programs and genome regulation mechanisms. The research combines single-cell genomics , chromatin profiling , and phylogenetic comparative methods to study transcription factors, 3D chromatin architecture, histone modificat...

Fully funded PhD opportunity at the University of Barcelona in the Biodiversity Research Institute (IRBio) and the Genetics Doctoral Programme. Cristian Cañestro’s lab is offering a 4-year FPI predoctoral contract linked to the project Gene loss impact: evolution of cardioparaxial-neuromesodermal development and genome scrambling in Oikopleura dioica as a case study (OikoLoss). The project asks how massive gene loss can shape evolutionary innovation, using the chordate Oikopleura dioica as a nat...

Funded PhD opportunity at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona, Spain through the CRG International PhD Fellowships Programme 2027 . The project focuses on cell type-specific transcriptomes and asks how these transcriptomes are generated through microexon alternative splicing and fine transcriptional regulation , and how they contribute to human health, disease, and evolution . Research approaches include both computational and experimental methods. The post specifically mentions...

PhD Opportunity | InvAdapt Lab, University of Barcelona The InvAdapt Lab is seeking a candidate to join a predoctoral fellowship application and carry out a PhD thesis on potentially invasive terrestrial flatworms , including Obama nungara , Caenoplana coerulea , and Caenoplana variegata . The project uses an integrated approach spanning biology , ecology , and genomic analysis to understand what enables these species to establish and spread into new territories. This is a strong fit for applica...

Our lab at the Centro de Biología Molecular Severo Ochoa (CBM-CSIC-UAM) is seeking candidates for two research opportunities: a postdoctoral position under the Juan de la Cierva scheme and a predoctoral position under the FPU scheme. The project focuses on the interplay between cell proliferation and cell death , with particular interest in tumor formation and senescence . This is a strong fit for candidates with interests in biology , developmental biology , and cancer-related cell biology . Th...
