About this position
Applications are invited for a Senior Postdoctoral Researcher (R2B) in the DNA Repair Syndromes and Cancer Predisposition Research Group at the Institut d'Investigació Biomèdica Sant Pau in Barcelona, Spain.
The group, coordinated by Dr Jordi Surrallés, studies human genetic diseases associated with a high predisposition to cancer, with a focus on DNA repair, genomic instability, and the mechanisms that prevent mutation accumulation and tumour transformation. The team has also worked on therapeutic research, orphan medicinal products, clinical trials, gene therapy, drug repurposing, and the identification of DNA repair genes as therapeutic targets in cancer.
The successful candidate will contribute to functional studies of genes involved in genomic stability and tumour predisposition, apply advanced molecular and cellular biology techniques in translational oncology and synthetic lethality, design and execute advanced research projects, and prepare scientific reports and publications.
This is a full-time permanent position with a temporary contract linked to the project PID2024-155624OB-I00: “Fanconi Anaemia: Advances in Genomics and Therapy”, funded by MICIU/AEI/FEDER, UE. Salary will follow the applicable collective agreement, and the annual working time is 1,627.50 hours (37.5 hours/week).
Applicants should hold a PhD or equivalent in Biomedicine, Bioinformatics, Biotechnology, Genetics, Biology, Biochemistry, Medicine, or a related field, with more than 5 years of experience. Knowledge of both official languages of Catalonia is required, or must be acquired within one year. The post also values a background in Biotechnology or Genetics, substantial postdoctoral experience in genetic instability/DNA repair, experience with genetic screens of DNA repair pathways, and a high level of English.
To apply, candidates should email a PDF application to [email protected] with reference 2026/127. Required documents include a cover letter, updated CV, and the signed data processing authorisation. The deadline is 22 September 2026 at 3:00 p.m.
