The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) is an international biomedical research institute of excellence, based in Barcelona, Spain, with more than 400 scientists from 44 countries. The CRG is composed by an interdisciplinary, motivated and creative scientific team which is supported both by a flexible and efficient administration and by high-end and innovative technologies.
In April 2021, the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) received the renewal of the 'HR Excellence in Research' Award from the European Commission. This is a recognition of the Institute's commitment to developing an HR Strategy for Researchers, designed to bring the practices and procedures in line with the principles of the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers (Charter and Code).Please, check out our Recruitment Policy
The role
We are recruiting an experienced lab manager to support and strengthen our single-cell and regulatory genomics expertise. The position will entail applying/adapting established protocols, using the advanced and versatile single-cell and sequencing infrastructure existing in our lab and at the CRG, as well as lab management tasks. The work will be part of our ERC-funded project EvoCellMap and it will also contribute to technologies for the Biodiversity Cell Atlas initiative. Our research requires of a good understanding of these different functional genomics methodologies in order to adjust them to non-model species. The candidate will be a part of a highly interdisciplinary team that includes developmental, computational, evolutionary and molecular biologists.
About the team
Our group studies genome regulation from an evolutionary systems perspective. In particular, we are interested in deciphering the evolutionary dynamics of animal cell type programs and in reconstructing the emergence of genome regulatory mechanisms linked to cell type differentiation (from transcription factor binding through chromatin states to the physical architecture of the genome). To this end, we apply advanced single-cell genomics and chromatin experimental methods to dissect and compare cell types and epigenomic landscapes in phylogenetically diverse organisms. We also develop computational tools to integrate these diverse data sources into models of cell type gene regulatory networks and we use phylogenetic methods to comparatively analyse these models.
