About this position
Postdoctoral opportunity at the Department of Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology, Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (MNCN-CSIC), Madrid, Spain.
The project focuses on comparative genomics and evolutionary venomics, studying venom evolution in ribbon worms using chromosome-scale sequencing, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, RNA-seq, and comparative genomics. The successful candidate will lead the bioinformatics component of the project, including genome assembly and annotation, analysis of multi-omics datasets, and development of reproducible pipelines.
Applicants should have a PhD in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genomics, Evolutionary Biology, or a related field. Strong Python/R programming and Linux/HPC experience are required. Experience with genome assembly, annotation, comparative genomics, single-cell transcriptomics, spatial transcriptomics, reproducible workflows, and Git is advantageous. The role also includes supervising students and collaborating with international partners.
This is a 2-year fully funded contract with a gross salary of €30,000–€35,000 per year. The position is based in Madrid, Spain, and the start date is flexible but must be no later than January 2027.
