Centre for Genomic Regulation

Barcelona

The Centre for Genomic Regulation (http://www.crg.eu), located at the Parc de Recerca Biomèdica de Barcelona (http://www.prbb.org), is a leading Institute in Genomics Research in Barcelona. The CRG includes 5 research programmes: Gene Regulation, Stem Cells & Cancer, Cell & Development Biology, Systems Biology, Genes & Disease, and Bioinformatics & Genomics, and has a partnership with the EMBL through the Systems Biology Programme. The Centre for Genomic Regulation has entered a partnership with the European Bioinformatics Institute (http://www.ebi.ac.uk) to explore and develop joint services based around human sequences and genotypes, in particular those associated with phenotype information. The CRG-EBI operation is expected to grow within the next few years to host a Group of developers, curators and annotators distributed in three teams in charge, respectively, of Data, Infrastructure and Analysis.

The CRG is looking for a Team Leader. The Team Leader will lead the Data Team, fundamental for the development of the human phenotype project in Barcelona. He or she will work under the supervision of the Director of the CRG Group and in close collaboration with the rest of the teams at the CRG and the EBI. He or she will initially manage a Data Team of 2-3 annotators/curators/developers and help setting up the Infrastructure and Analysis Teams. The Team leader will be required to oversee the development of standard procedures, documentation, publications, data models (including models for phenotype data) and other aspects of the project. The ideal candidate should have a PhD in molecular biology, genetics, bioinformatics or related field and a minimum of five years of relevant postdoctoral experience. Additionally, the candidate should have proven experience in database management and genome analysis, with emphasis on variation and/or phenotypes. Proficiency in Perl and relational databases (e.g. MySQL and Oracle) is expected. The post holder will be expected to be comfortable working in a UNIX environment and with very large databases. The candidate must have experience in managing developers and strong communication skills.

Candidates should send a CV, a motivation letter and the names of two referees to rrhh@crg.eu indicating the reference in the subject line (Ref.TL-BG-0712)

Applications deadline: September 1st, 2012.
