PhD in Chromatin, Epigenetics, and Cancer Biology at Centre for Genomic Regulation Centre for Genomic Regulation in Spain

PhD opportunity: Single-cell lineage tracing at the scale of human populations at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), Barcelona, Spain. This funded PhD project is part of the CRG International PhD Fellowships Programme 2027 and is supervised by Dr Lars Velten . The project focuses on single-cell lineage tracing , genomics , cell biology , cancer biology , and the analysis of human population cohorts . The research asks whether the functional properties of expanding blood stem cell clones ca...

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...

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 alternat...

Fully funded postdoctoral position at the University of Barcelona in the Chromatin and Cancer Biology Lab led by PI Dr. Aleix Bayona-Feliu . The project focuses on transcription-replication conflicts as anti-cancer targets (TRCAT project). The successful candidate will investigate TRC dependencies using CRISPR screens , identify synthetic lethal vulnerabilities , and perform drug assays . The work combines cell lines , Drosophila models , and computational genomics in transcription-addicted tumo...
