Bioinformatician at Cellular & Systems Neurobiology group
The Institute
The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) is an international biomedical research institute of excellence, based in Barcelona, Spain, with more than 400 scientists from 44 countries. The CRG is composed by an interdisciplinary, motivated and creative scientific team which is supported both by a versátil and efficient administration and by high-end and innovative technologies.
We are looking for a Bioinformatician at the Cellular and Systems Neurobiology lab to work on the project titled “Understanding interneuronopathy in Down syndrome to identify interneuron targeted therapy (INTO-DS) (Agencia Estatal de Investigación (PID2022-141900OB-I00) and led by Dr Mara Dierssen and led by Dr Mara Dierssen.
The position requires a candidate with previous experience in Bioinformatics. The candidate will process and analyse multi-omics datasets (eg. snRNA-Seq, snATAC-Seq, spatial transcriptomics). The candidate will design and apply integrative data analysis (computational/statistical/causal)



and visualization techniques for multi-omic data to address research hypotheses. The candidate will apply machine learning models to clinical and omics data for classification tasks. We are looking for highly motivated and organized candidates with good communication skills, capable of working in a group but also with a high degree of work autonomy.
About the lab
The Dierssen lab is centred on understanding cognition and behaviour and their perturbation in intellectual disability. We are an interdisciplinary team of physicists, bioinformaticians and experimental biologists, and we focus on data collection (behaviour, 3D imaging, genomic data) of many variables of the system (longitudinal behavioural analysis, population-based analysis in neuronal networks, gene expression patterns). We take advantage of computer modelling and bioinformatics analysis (gene networks, neuronal network modelling, etc.) to tackling classical
