Centre for Genomic Regulation
Barcelona, Spain
Description
The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) is a multidisciplinary research centre created in December 2000, and located in the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB). CRG scientific groups focus on understanding the complexity of life from the genome to the cell to a whole organism, and its interaction with the environment, supported by cutting-edge technologies. The successful applicant will join a team of international research project managers, and will have opportunities to work with excellent scientists from different fields in life sciences. CRG has a highly international culture, and the working language is English. The position will involve creating 2D and 3D dynamical models of spatial-patterning phenomena, including reaction-diffusion systems, gene regulatory networks and tissue growth. The project will focus on the arrangement of different tissue types within the lymph node, and the emergence of the skeletal pattern within the developing limb bud. The project involves inhouse software for finite-volume simulations, and thus requires good programming skills.
Requirements
• Background or extensive experience in mathematical modeling.
• Evidence of good programming skills.
• Good working knowledge of English.
Desirable experience:
• Reaction-diffusion models.
• Finite-element modelling.
• Systems biology, gene regulatory networks.
• Mesh generation and manipulation.
• Data visualization, 2D and 3D, eg. VTK.
• Understanding of developmental biology
More information and applications
• Three year contract.
• A competitive salary will be provided, which will be well matched relative to the cost of living in Barcelona, and adjusted according to experience.
All applications must include:
• A presentation letter addressed to Dr. James Sharpe explaining motivation and scientific interests.
• A full CV including your contact details. 2 reference letters.
• Applications are welcome from now on until December, 14th 2012 (small possibility of extension).
• Please submit your application by email to the following address, indicating the offer reference (Ref. SB-SAD-1212) in the subject message: rrhh@crg.eu
