About this position

PhD opportunity at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona, Spain through the CRG International PhD Programme 2027.

The project is titled “Understanding the molecular mechanisms that control alternative pre-mRNA splicing and their alterations in cancer” and is a collaboration between the groups of Ben Lehner and Juan Valcárcel.

This PhD is centered on molecular biology, genomics, gene regulation, cell biology, and cancer biology, with an emphasis on understanding how alternative pre-mRNA splicing is controlled and how these mechanisms are altered in cancer to inform novel therapeutic approaches, especially in oncology.

The ideal candidate is a molecular biologist with a strong interest in combining experimental and computational approaches to study gene regulation and disease mechanisms.

The opportunity is described as a funded PhD project open to students worldwide. The post does not specify a stipend amount or detailed funding package in the text provided.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold, or expect to hold by September 2027, a relevant Bachelor’s and Master’s degree that qualifies them to begin a PhD in Spain; they should have an excellent academic record, prior research experience, and a high working knowledge of English. Some prior CRG-related activities may make applicants ineligible, including previous CRG PhD interview invitations, current CRG Master’s students, or having worked at CRG for more than 3 months before the deadline.

Application: use the “Start your application here” link on the FindAPhD listing to begin the application process. The page also notes CRG open days and encourages prospective applicants to explore the programme and labs.
