IRB Barcelona is seeking a highly motivated and talented Postdoctoral Fellow to participate in cutting edge research line of the Quantitative Stem Cell Dynamics lab led by Alejo Rodriguez-Fraticelli. Si sus habilidades, experiencia y cualificaciones coinciden con las de esta

descripción del puesto
, no demore su solicitud. The lab focuses on implementing cutting-edge single-cell technologies to discover new druggable susceptibilities in leukaemia and other blood malignancies. The goal is to identify new targets to prevent drug-resistance and relapse in these terrible diseases. We are looking for a wet lab candidate with a strong background in cancer biology, epigenetic analysis and/or stem cell research. Knowledge of single-cell sequencing, clonal analysis, biostatistics, and/or genomics will be appreciated but is not required for this position and the candidates will be trained in all appropriate skills for this project. The position is for 2 years, with the potential to extend this contract up to 2 additional years. This level of support makes this an excellent opportunity for candidates looking to transition to an independent research-focused position.
