The CNAGs primary mission is to carry out large-scale DNA sequence analysis projects in human and other species in collaboration with researchers in Catalonia, Spain and internationally.
One of the primary goals will be to generate and interpret the genome data that will help understand the way a human or other genome functions so that this information can then be used for the improvement of human health or the sustainable and durable generation of nourishment. The two main axes of activity will be the production of large amounts of DNA sequence efficiently and its informatics handling.
We seek a Post-doctoral fellow for development of novel protocols for sequencing and new sequencing methods on the EU-funded project ESGI (European Sequencing and Genotyping Infrastructure). A particular focus will be on single cell analysis and the analysis of DNA and RNA extracted from challenged samples such as FFPE sections. The successful candidate will work for the Director of Sequencing.
Responsibilities:
Development and implementation of new sample preparation procedures for DNA and RNA sequencing
Implementation of new sequencing methods
Requirements:
Recent PhD in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology or similar
Able to work very reliably and autonomously, to pay attention to detail, effective troubleshooting skills and also to work as part of a team
Computer literacy is essential
Able to understand and speak English
Experience with the current generation of DNA sequencing technology
