About this position

VHIO International PhD Fellowship Programme 2027 offers 7 fully funded PhD opportunities at the Vall d'Hebron Institute of Oncology in Barcelona. The programme is embedded in VHIO’s strong translational, preclinical and clinical cancer research environment, with access to first-class core technologies, state-of-the-art infrastructure, lectures, seminars, specialised scientific and technological courses, and a structured learning and supervisory programme through VHIO Academy.

Students will join one of a broad set of research groups working across cancer genetics, tumour evolution, chromatin and genomic instability, immuno-oncology, computational oncology, AI-driven medical imaging, bioinformatics, liquid biopsies, cancer prevention, cell therapy, pharmacology, and hereditary cancer research. The advertised labs span experimental and computational projects, including genome engineering, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, multi-omics analysis, machine learning, and translational oncology.

The programme brings together an international community of more than 100 PhD students from 30+ nationalities across 30+ research groups. Fellows benefit from scientific seminars, transferable-skills workshops, networking and career-development activities, and a research culture focused on precision medicine and improved cancer care.

Available projects include cancer genetics and therapy resistance, cancer genomics and chromatin remodeling, AI and medical imaging for precision oncology, tumour-reactive T cells and CRISPR screening, cancer immunogenomics, drug repurposing and combinations, genomic epidemiology, computational cancer genomics, CAR-T and cell therapy, colorectal cancer and aging, and hereditary breast and ovarian cancer diagnostics.
