PhD student position available in Molecular Mechanisms of Root Stem Cell Regeneration Under Climate Instability at the Center for Plant Biotechnology and Genomics in Madrid, Spain . This opportunity is centered on plant biotechnology, molecular biology, root biology, genomics, transcriptomics, quantitative genetics, bioinformatics, and plant breeding. The project title suggests a strong focus on how root stem cells regenerate under climate-related stress or instability, making it relevant for st...

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...

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-g...

Funded PhD project at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona, Spain on how chromatin and epigenetic mechanisms control cell identity and how their dysregulation contributes to cancer , with emphasis on leukemia and pediatric brain tumors . The project is hosted by Dr Luciano Di Croce and is part of the CRG International PhD Fellowships Programme 2027 . The research environment is described as international and interdisciplinary, with access to core technologies, seminars, and trans...
