The Institute of Evolutionary Biology seeks a: Lab technician/manager

Application deadline: 22nd December 2024 

Reference: Laboratory Technician

More information:  

The Mutation Dynamics lab is part of the Evolutionary Medical Genomics Program, a collaborative initiative by the IBE, UPF, and CRG.

Project overview:  As individuals age, mutations accumulate in their cells, playing a pivotal role in evolution, aging, and disease. Despite their importance, much remains unknown about how mutations originate or why some cells accumulate more mutations than others. Our lab aims to elucidate the fundamental mechanisms behind mutation formation and investigates the evolutionary forces that shape mutation rates across di􀎛erent cell types and species. We are part of the Evolutionary Medical Genomics Program , a collaborative initiative by the IBE, UPF, and CRG. Job description

 We are seeking a laboratory technician/manager to join our multidisciplinary team of PhD students and postdoctoral researchers. The role includes developing innovative methods, such as single-molecule long-read sequencing, and conducting experiments with mammalian cell lines and mouse models. Our work integrates diverse techniques, including cell culture, FACS, and genomic assays, to study mutation rates and DNA repair pathways.

How to apply Interested candidates should complete the application form, including a CV, a brief motivation letter explaining your interest in the lab, a contact information for at least two referees and information on how you heard about this job offer .
