The Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (F.S.P.) CNIC has been conceived to develop research of excellence, competitive and of international relevance in relation to cardiovascular diseases. The CNIC has a research centre of 24,000 m2, located in Madrid, with more than 6,000 m2 for laboratories equipped with a state‑of‑the‑art infrastructure and equipment.
Functions
The selected candidate will get training in engineering regenerative therapies to improve cardiomyocyte engraftment in an injured heart. Work will involve the culture of iPS cells, animal models, use of molecular and biology techniques and microscopy techniques as well as data analysis.
This contract is funded by the European Union through the European Innovation Council, with funding awarded under the EIC Pathfinder Open 2025 call, Project GA and acronym HeartVISION.
Mandatory Requirements
- PhD in the area of life science




- At least one first author publication in the cardiovascular research field is required

Valuable Requirements
- C1. Experience in cardiovascular experimental models, including echocardiography and ECG analysis.
- C2. Accreditation for functions B and C in experimental models.
- C3. Experience with gene therapy studies including studies with adeno‑associated viruses, in cell culture including human pluripotent stem cell culture and cardiac differentiation from induced pluripotent stem cells.
- C4. Experience in fluorescence microscopy and image analysis.
- C5. Interview (it will be conducted in English).
