Job description

Offer DescriptionThe InstituteThe 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 flexible and efficient administration and by high-end and innovative technologies.In April 2021, the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) received the renewal of the ‘ Award from the European Commission. This is a recognition of the Institute’s commitment to developing an HR Strategy for Researchers, designed to bring the practices and procedures in line with the principles of the and the (Charter and Code).The roleWe are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to develop a project focused on understanding whether the nuclear localization of metabolic enzymes can be used to predict cancer stage, grade, and response to therapy. The selected candidate will analyse mass spectrometry (MS) data to determine the enrichment of metabolic enzymes in the chromatin compartment. Such data will be validated with immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence (with the help of a technician) and the selected candidate will develop a pipeline for image analysis and integration of different markers together with subcellular localization of selected metabolic enzymes. The goal of this project is to develop novel guidelines for patient stratification based on the subcellular localization of enzymes.About the labOur laboratory specializes in high-throughput image analysis, subcellular proteomics, transcriptomics, genetic screening, bioinformatics and cell and molecular biology techniques. We are a group of about 10 people from different cultures and countries. We are part of the genome biology department at the CRG, and we aim to understand why metabolic enzymes localize to the nuclear environment and participate in specific chromatin functions.Whom would we like to hire?Professional experienceMust Have
