About this position
PhD opportunity at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona, Spain through the CRG International PhD Programme 2027.
The project, supervised by Dr Eva Maria Novoa, sits at the intersection of RNA dynamics, RNA modifications (the epitranscriptome), protein mistranslation, cell biology, genomics, molecular biology, genetics, and microbiology. The Novoa lab uses a combination of wet and dry approaches, with strong reliance on nanopore sequencing, to study how RNA changes affect development, stress, disease, ribosome heterogeneity, cancer, and inheritance across generations.
The advertised PhD project asks how much protein mistranslation occurs in healthy cells, when increased mistranslation may be beneficial, and how mistranslation can generate neoantigens that influence immune responses. This is a good fit for a highly motivated student interested in hybrid experimental/computational research.
The position is advertised as a funded PhD project for students worldwide. The post does not specify stipend amount, tuition coverage, or other financial details.
Eligibility highlights: applicants need a relevant bachelor’s and master’s degree in biomedical sciences (or equivalent qualifying degree for PhD entry in Spain), an excellent academic record, prior research experience, strong commitment to research, and good English. The call is open to all nationalities, with additional ineligibility rules for some prior CRG applicants and recent CRG affiliates.
How to apply: submit your application via the CRG/FindaPhD application link on the page. Review the eligibility criteria before applying and use the register-interest option if you want to contact the university through FindAPhD.
