ph3JOB DESCRIPTION /h3pWe are looking for a Senior Research Technician to take ownership of a high-impact project on non-genetic drug resistance in melanoma—and we want someone who treats this as their own scientific mission. Your core task: develop and implement a physiologically relevant 3D model that captures the real-time crosstalk between tumor cells and the microenvironment, directly informing combination strategies to overcome treatment failure. We need a hands-on expert in primary cell culture, multiplex assays, and 3D scaffolds someone who troubleshoots independently, mentors effectively, and bridges lab work with translational goals. /ph3MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES /h3ulliEstablish and optimize a 3D co-culture model integrating melanoma cells with stromal/immune components to mimic the tumor microenvironment. /liliPerform drug sensitivity assays and longitudinal viability tests to monitor treatment response and acquired resistance. /liliConduct molecular analyses (RNA/protein extraction, qPCR, Western blotting, cytokine profiling) to characterize non-genetic adaptive changes. /liliCarry out high-content imaging and quantitative microscopy to assess spatial interactions, invasion, and phenotypic plasticity within 3D constructs. /liliMaintain detailed electronic lab records, analyze data with statistical rigor, and present results in team meetings. /liliTrain and supervise junior technicians/students, manage reagent inventory, and troubleshoot protocols proactively. /liliCollaborate with bioinformaticians to integrate wet-lab data with omics datasets, feeding results into therapeutic strategy development. /li /ulh3QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCIE /h3ulliMaster in Biomedicine or closely related field, with a focus on cancer research.



/liliExperience in tissue culture and data analysis /liliStrong experience in molecular and cellular biology techniques (DNA and RNA isolation, RNA quantification, qPCR and immunofluoresence). /liliStrong experience in cell culture, including the establishment of primary cultures. /liliExperience in proteomics, particularly in O-Link analysis. /liliHands-on experience in clinical research environments. /liliBasic knowledge of Rstudio. /liliGood command of English, both written and spoken. /liliInternational experience will be considered an asset. /liliExperience in sòlid tumors tumors will be considered an asset. /liliProactive, motivated, and responsible individual with strong organizational skills and the ability to work autonomously /li /ulh3WHAT WE OFFER /h3ulliIndefinite contract (Science Law 14/2011) Full-time contract /lili gross salary /liliIncorporation date: 1st of September /liliGross annual remuneration inherent to the square objected to this call, will be fixed based on the experience provided and the skills of the candidate, distributed in 12 payments. /liliFlexible payment (childminding vouchers and meal voucher). /lili23 days holiday and 5 days for personal matters. /liliTraining capsules by the company. /liliBe part of an excellent multidisciplinary research centre with the HRS4R badge. /liliLocation on the Can Ruti Campus, a first-class translational research environment in the Barcelona area, in a very stimulating scientific environment.
