About this position

Two PhD opportunities are available at GENyO (Pfizer-University of Granada-Junta de Andalucia Center for Genomics and Oncological Research) in Granada, Spain, in the Epigenetic Memory in Disease lab led by David Landeira.

The research theme focuses on epigenetics, aging, epigenomics, molecular and cellular biology, and bioinformatics, with an emphasis on how epigenetic mechanisms regulate development, aging, and age-associated diseases.

Opportunity 1: FPI PhD position — a fully funded 4-year PhD contract is already secured through a recently awarded FPI fellowship funded by the AEI. This is suited to candidates with a degree in Biomedical Sciences or a related field, a strong academic record, prior research experience, and a clear interest in epigenomics and disease mechanisms. Bioinformatics experience or interest is considered desirable.

Opportunity 2: FPU Fellowship Call 2026 — the lab is seeking a candidate to apply for a predoctoral FPU fellowship to complete a PhD at GENyO. A strong academic record is important, with an academic average above 8.5/10 highlighted as a key requirement for the competitive FPU evaluation. The lab will provide dedicated support during the application process.

Location: GENyO, Granada, Spain.

Deadline: October 15, 2026.

How to apply: Interested candidates should send a motivation letter, CV, and the contact details of three referees. More information is available via the linked pages.
