Convoca Advanced Reproductive Technologies in Mammals Research group - Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona Categoría Candidatos / Predoctorales / Beca Plazo Del 31/07/2026 al 01/12/2026 Adjunto Documento de la convocatoria Descripción de la oferta We are seeking motivated predoctoral candidates to apply for competitive regional, national and international funding opportunities to join our group in reproductive biology. The project will be carried out in the Advanced Reproductive Technologies in Mammals research group at UAB, under the supervision of Dr. Ribas-Maynou and Dr.

Delgado-Bermúdez. Our funded research project aims to decipher how sperm genome integrity influences fertility and early embryonic development, with a particular focus on how DNA breaks occurring in specific genomic regions affect reproductive efficiency. The successful candidate will receive interdisciplinary training in a broad range of reproductive biology and cutting-edge molecular and genomic techniques to uncover how specific DNA damage patterns affect reproductive efficiency in animal models.

The candidate will work in a collaborative and international research environment with opportunities to participate in scientific conferences, international collaborations, and high-impact publications.

Perfil buscado Background in Biotechnology, Biomedical Sciences, Genetics, Biology, DVM, or related discipline.

Proficiency in written and spoken English (minimum B2 level).
