Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
About the Project
Our lab investigates, at the scale of the population, how the genes of the individual, the genes of social partners and the genes of the gut microbiota influence complex traits and diseases. We use advanced statistical analyses of genomes, metagenomes and phenotypes to understand the complex biological and evolutionary interplay between the individual, the social partners and the microbiota.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for candidates with a background in quantitative genetics (or another discipline with a strong emphasis on quantitative analyses of big data), good computational skills (programming in R or Python, high-performance computing), and ideally experience with workflow management systems (e.g. Nextflow).
About us
The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) is an international biomedical research institute of excellence, created in July 2000. It is a non-profit foundation funded by the Catalan Government through the Department of Business & Knowledge and the Department of Health, the Spanish Ministry of Science & Innovation, the "la Caixa" Banking Foundation, and includes the participation of Pompeu Fabra University.
The mission of the CRG is to discover and advance knowledge for the benefit of society, public health and economic prosperity.
The CRG believes that the medicine of the future depends on the groundbreaking science of today. This requires an interdisciplinary scientific team focused on understanding the complexity of life from the genome to the cell to a whole organism and its interaction with the environment, offering an integrated view of genetic diseases.
