The newly created Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona is a public Foundation created jointly by the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) to forster basic biological research. The CRG will focus on the area of functional genomics and will be integrated in the Parc of Biomedical Research of Barcelona (PRBB), a new building including several other biomedical research institutions, such as the Departament of Health and Life Sciences of the UPF and City Institute of Medical Research (IMIM). The PRBB will be located on the sea shore near the olympic harbor, a modern part of the town with high cultural and recreational standards. Until completion of the PRBB early 2003, the CRG will function within the premises of the Departament of Health and Life Sciences of the UPF. Recruitment is just starting in the fields of Bioinformatics and Gene Expressions, and will continue during the next two years in other fields, especially in Development, Oncogenesis, and Medical Genetics. When whooly functional, the CRG will host some 150 scientists, a strong bioinformatics team with microarray and proteomics units, and many general facilities.

The newly created Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona, a joint Foundation of the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) is seeking candidates in the areas of Bioinformatics, and Cellular and Molecular Biology. The CRG will focus on the area of functional genomics, and will be integrated in the Parc of Biomedical Research of Barcelona (PRBB), a new building including several other biomedical research institutions(The School of Life and Health Sciences of the UPF and the Institut Municipal d'Investigacio Medica, IMIM, among them). The PRBB will be located on the sea shore near the olympic harbor, a modern part of the town with high cultural and recreational standards. Until completion of the PRBB early 2003, the CRG will function within the facilities of the School of Life and Health Sciences of the UPF.
GROUP LEADER. MOLECULAR AND CELL BIOLOGY. CRG
CRG is seeking to fill a Group Leader possition at the level of Assistant Professor (tenure track) in the field of Cellular and Molecular Biology. The candidate should have a strong background in the field of eukariotyc gene expression. Salary is competitive and will depend on the candidates experience. The group will dispose of equiped laboratory space for 5 to 9 people plus the corresponding office space and access to general services and equipment. During the starting period the group will be supported by the CRG with one postdoc, two graduate students and a technician, as well as secretarial help and initial funding. Responsabilities will include 1) establishing a competitive research program in the area of eukaryotic gene regulation and 2) advanced teaching of Cell and Molecular Biology to graduate students.
GROUP LEADER. BIOINFORMATICS. CRG
CRG is seeking a group leader in Bioinformatics. Emphasis will be given to applicants who develop a research program in functional genomics, and proteomics, including modelling and simluation of regulatory pathways, and development of new algorithms for the analysis of expression data and microarrays. The successful candidate is expected to build up and lead a research group of of 5 to 9 people. GRG will provide initial funding for 2 postdocs and 1-2 technicians. The new leader is also expected to interact with bioinformatics research groups in Computational Genomics, Molecular Modelling, and Structural Biology existing at the PRBB. We are building an strong core of Bioinformatics research, which will place the PRRB at the forefront of this discipline. Applicants should have a phD plus, at least, 3-5 years of experience in Bioinformatics research.
POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHERS / LECTURERS. BIOINFORMATICS. UPF
UPF is seeking two Postdoctoral Researchers in Bioinformatics. Emphasis in one of the positions is in comparative genomics, evolution of gene structure and gene prediction. The other position covers a much broader spectrum, which includes in addition, but it is not limited to, any of the following: DNA sequence intraspecific variation (SNPs), prediction of gene function, molecular evolution, analysis of expression data, modelling and simulation of celluar networks, structural biology, and molecular modelling. Candidates are expected to lead their own research projects within the IMIM/UPF Computational Genomics laboratory (http://www1.imim.es/). The position carries associated teaching duties in bioinformatics at School of Life and Health Sciences of the UPF. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Biology or Computer Science, and demonstrated experience in bioinformatics. Familiarity with UNIX/LINUX operating systems, as well as good programming skills in C and scripting languages (such as perl or awk) are necessary for the position in comparative genomics. Post-doctoral experience is highly desirable, in any case.
BIOINFORMATICS SCIENTIST. CRG
CRG is seeking a PhD in computer science or molecular biology with experience in the usage of bioiformatics tools, mostly in the analysis of microarray expression data and proteomics. The position will consist in inmplementing and maintaining software and databases, as well as specialized hardware, to support ongoing research at CRG in genomics regulation, and it will require interacting with scientists on a regular basis to meet their needs in software development and support. This position requires a broad understading of molecular biology techniques and concepts, and a solid experience in computational analysis. Knowledge of computer operating systems should include UNIX and LINUX. Experience with C, Perl, Java, HTML, XML, CGI programming is higly desiralbe. Execellent interpersonal skills and the ability to participate in multiple concurrent projects are essential.
Interested applicants should submit a letter of intent indicating their major research interests, a C.V., and a list of three referees including their address, who can be contacted to request letters of recommendation, to Miguel Beato, director Centre de Regulació Genòmica c/ Dr. Aiguader 80. 08003-Barcelona Spain e-mail: miguel.beato@crg.upf.es
