Funded PhD opportunity at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona, Spain through the CRG International PhD Fellowships Programme 2027 . The project asks a fundamental question in genome folding : how do the two meters of DNA in our genome fit and organize inside a micron-sized nucleus, and how does improper folding contribute to disease? This PhD is a strong fit for candidates interested in cell biology , genetics , genomics , human genetics , molecular biology , molecular genetics ...

Postdoctoral Position in Genome Instability × Cancer × CRISPR at the Chromatin and Cancer Biology Laboratory (CCBL), University of Barcelona, Spain. The project, TRCAT (Transcription–Replication Conflicts as Anti-Cancer Targets), focuses on how transcription–replication conflicts generate replication stress, DNA damage, and genome instability in cancer cells, and how these vulnerabilities can be exploited therapeutically. The successful candidate will work on combinatorial CRISPR screens, molecu...

About this position

PhD opportunity at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), Barcelona, Spain. This funded PhD project, part of the CRG International PhD Fellowships Programme 2027, focuses on the causes of clonal expansions of blood stem cells. The research asks why blood stem cell clones expand during ageing, increasing the risk of blood cancer and cardiovascular disease, even when most expansions do not have known driver mutations.

The successful candidate will work on single-cell multi-omic and functional-genomic technologies to uncover the mechanisms behind these expansions. The project sits at the intersection of biology, genetics, genomics, molecular biology, molecular genetics, biotechnology, and computational biology.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should have training in biotechnology, molecular biology, or a related discipline, plus a strong wet-lab track record and basic computational biology skills.

Funding: this is a funded PhD project. The post does not specify the stipend amount in the text provided.

Location: Barcelona, Spain.

How to apply: submit your application through the CRG/FindAPhD application portal using the provided link. Review the project page carefully and follow the online instructions.
