The Spanish Ministry of Economy & Competitivity (MINECO) is about to publish (end of August 2012) the “Ramon y Cajal” and “Juan de la Cierva” calls to recruit experienced scientists to the Spanish R&D system. The Ramón and Cajal Program offers a 5-year tenure-track contract for scientists who fulfill: (i) less than 10 years since PhD; (ii) robust track-record as indicator of independence and, (iii) at least 18-24 months of exposure to international scientific environment (postdoctoral training).
Description:
The “Stem Cells, development and cancer” laboratory headed by Dr. Pablo Menéndez (http://www.genyo.es/content/ver-grupos-de-investigacion?id=7) is looking for motivated experienced scientist to apply for these competitive contracts. The Ramon and Cajal fellow will join a dynamic scientific environment and will be given full independence. His/her line of research will be initially supported by the hosting Lab which will also promote the fellow to recruit master and PhD students. The Juan de la Cierva fellow will join the same environment but will work independently in projects already ongoing in the Lab.
1. Human stem cell biology: hESC, hiPSC, mesenchymal and hematopoietic stem/progenitors cells.
2. Disease modeling using patient-specific iPSCs: special interest in reprogramming leukemic cells and CoQ-deficient fibroblast.
3. Sarcomagenesis models based on Mesenchymal stem cells.
4. Childhood MLL-rearranged leukemia.
5. Normal human hematopoiesis.
Applicants must be experienced researchers in cell and molecular biology with a doctoral degree in biomedicine. Applicants will have access to cutting-edge core facilities including tissue culture room, viral production, molecular and biochemistry lab, genomics equipped with qPCR devices and next-generation sequencers, high-speed flow cytometry, high-speed cell sorting, SPF animal facility with and cesium irradiator for xeno-transplantation, confocal and fluorencence microscopy and pathology lab. Through external collaborators in the Health Technology Park of the University of Granada (where GENyO is located) the candidates will also have access to facilities including sequencing, proteomics, high-throughput screening, zebrafish models, luminescence, etc.
