About this position
PhD opportunity in Precision Psychiatry at the University of Barcelona (UB) and IDIBAPS. The newly funded FarmaPRED-OPTIM project is seeking highly motivated candidates for a PhD in Precision Medicine focused on improving prediction of antipsychotic treatment response in patients with first-episode psychosis.
The research combines genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, statistical genetics, bioinformatics, and machine learning to build clinical prediction models. Core topics include polygenic risk scores (PRS), transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS), epigenetic biomarkers, pharmacogenetic biomarkers, and predictive modelling.
Ideal applicants come from Bioinformatics, Bioengineering, Biostatistics, or Biomedical Sciences. Experience with R, Python, GWAS, PRS, machine learning, or omics analysis is highly valued. Exceptional candidates currently completing a Master's degree are also encouraged to apply.
Funding support is available through competitive predoctoral fellowships and contracts such as PFIS (ISCIII), FI Joan Oró (AGAUR), PREDOCS-UB, FPU, and FI-STEP. The post highlights strong support for fellowship applications, access to unique clinical and genomic datasets, training in cutting-edge multi-omics methods, and flexible working arrangements including partial remote work.
To apply, interested candidates should contact Sergi Mas directly via LinkedIn or email ([email protected]) and send a CV, academic transcript, and brief statement of interest. More information about the project is available at farmapred.org.
