APPLICATION DEADLINE: 24 JUNE 2025

Research Assistant Position in Developmental and Cell Biology at the Department Of Medicine and Life Sciences (MELIS), Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona, Spain)

We are seeking for highly motivated and enthusiastic candidates with completed Graduate studies related to Biomedicine and some research experience in a laboratory.

Candidates are required to have a good command of the English language. Skills in tissue processing and (immuno)staining, in situ hybridization and confocal image processing will be a plus.

We can offer a one-year contract, followed by support in fellowship application to perform a PhD in case of interest. Then, they could integrate the International PhD Program in Biomedicine of the Department of Medicine and Life Sciences (UPF), which has been awarded with the María de Maeztu Unit of Excellence recognition (Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, Spain).

The candidates will benefit from working in a dynamic group of Neurodevelopmental Dynamics, at a university department that received the Maria de Maetzu Award for its scientific excellence. We are located within the PRBB in Barcelona, a vibrant research park harboring several research institutions and cutting-edge core facilities.

Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Gonzalo Ortiz and Cristina Pujades. To apply, send a letter of interest, the CV, and contact details of 1 or 2 referees to gonzalo.ortiz@upf.edu and cristina.pujades@upf.edu by June 24^th.

PhD Position at Institut de Biologia Molecular de Barcelona, IBMB-CSIC

We are seeking for predoctoral candidates interested in pursuing a PhD in Developmental Biology at the Institut de Biologia Molecular de Barcelona, CSIC-Parc Científic de Barcelona. We are looking for a motivated student with strong interest in basic research in developmental and cell biology to join the group “Mechanisms of morphogenesis and organogenesis” (https://www.ibmb.csic.es/en/department-of-cells-and-tissues/mechanisms-of-morphogenesis-and-organogenesis/)

The project will be focused to investigate the intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms that underly the formation of tubular organs, using the tracheal system of Drosophila melanogaster as a model system. Current projects in the lab focus on interactions between the tracheal tubes and the surrounding tissues/environment (in particular extracellular matrices), analysis of cell adhesion and polarity and tissue differentiation. Our work lies at the interface of several disciplines, such as genetics, molecular and cell biology, and employs diverse techniques such as advanced microscopy, proteomics and quantitative biology.

Candidates should hold a Master’s degree in Biology, Biochemistry, Biomedicine or Biotechnology (or similar).

Send CV and motivation letter to Marta Llimargas (mlcbmc@ibmb.csic.es)

APPLICATION DEADLINE 10 SEPTEMBER 2024

PhD Position UNIVERSIDAD DE BARCELONA

We seek a motivated investigator with a keen interest in Developmental Biology, Stem Cells, regeneration, Patterning and metabolism to apply for a 4-year FPI fellowship associated to the project, which integrates genetics, genomics, experimental biology and bioinformatics.

Project: “Early events required for regeneration: axial specification and metabolic modulation“ (PID2023-149733NB-I00)

Our lab is an international reference in the study of stem cells and regeneration. We study the incredible plasticity of planarians to understand the mechanisms that enable regeneration. Our project has two different perspectives. 1) Genomic, genetic and cellular interactions that specify planarian anterior and posterior organizers; and 2) Metabolic modulation of early regeneration events.
