For the academic year 2010-2011, ten PhD positions will be available at the Centre de Regulació Genòmica (CRG) of Barcelona, Spain, thanks to the generous support of “la Caixa”, the third largest Spanish financial institution.
The CRG is a basic biomedical research centre, created at the initiative of the Catalan Government, with the participation of the Pompeu Fabra University, and the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation. The objective of the CRG is to promote excellent basic research in biomedicine and, particularly, in the genomic and proteomic fields. The CRG is located at the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB). Research at the CRG is centered around six scientific programmes, with extensive interdisciplinary collaborations across the following areas:
Bioinformatics and Genomics
Gene Regulation
Cell and Developmental Biology

Fellowships will be renewable on a yearly basis up to a maximum of four years and stipends will be competitive internationally.
Candidates should hold a university degree by September 2010, and should have a strong commitment for scientific research, an excellent academic record and research experience.

Selected students will have 1 month to accept the position and a limit of 6 months to begin their thesis work at the CRG.
