Fully funded PhD opportunity in computational cancer biomedicine at IDIBAPS in Barcelona, within the DYNAMIS doctoral programme (2026–2030). The project sits at the intersection of oncology , immunology , artificial intelligence , and bioinformatics , with a strong focus on translational medicine and patient impact. The post is advertised by Thomas Walle , Junior Group Leader at IDIBAPS, and the research environment includes co-mentorship with Aleix Prat and collaboration with Hospital Clínic de Barcelona . The group works on immune diagnostics, cancer prevention, single-cell technologies, interpretable AI, and multimodal data integration for clinical applications. This is a 48-month PhD employment contract under a Marie Skłodowska-Curie-style programme. Funding includes an estimated annual gross salary of €30,770.40 , possible family allowance, research/training/networking support, mobility support, and coverage of doctoral enrolment costs at a Spanish university. Fellows also receive full Spanish social security coverage. Eligibility is open to candidates from diverse scientific backgrounds, including computer science , engineering, physics, bioinformatics, biology, biotechnology, and medical sciences. Applicants must not already hold a PhD and must satisfy the MSCA mobility rule for Spain. The programme requires willingness to participate in secondments and all DYNAMIS activities. The call deadline is 2026-07-13 . Applicants should review the Guide for Applicants and research lines, then submit the required documents through the application platform linked in the post.

Thomas Walle, Junior Group Leader at the Institut d’Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi i Sunyer (IDIBAPS) in Barcelona, is hiring for positions in computational biology , AI , immunology , single-cell genomics , and cancer research following a recent ERC Starting Grant. The lab offers opportunities across the translational research spectrum, from clinical trials and data generation to mechanism identification, data analysis, and model development. Open roles mentioned include a technician position, PhD student positions (wet lab and dry lab), and postdoc positions (dry lab). Eligibility highlights include hands-on experience in single-cell genomics for technicians; strong academic preparation for PhD candidates in computer science, immunology, or related fields; and for postdocs, substantial experience in single-cell genomics or computer vision plus a strong biomedical background and at least one high-quality/high-impact output from the PhD thesis (paper, preprint, or software). No deadline or funding package is specified in the post, but the opportunity is tied to an ERC Starting Grant and is based at IDIBAPS in Barcelona, Spain. Interested candidates should send a CV and a brief note about their research interests to the contact email provided, and review the linked lab/project pages for more information.
