MÉS INFORMACIÓ
The Biomedical Research Institute of South Catalonia (IRBCatSud) is an institution that integrates research in the field of biomedicine in the “Camp de Tarragona” and the “Terres de l’Ebre”. The IISPV is the instrument that the university hospitals of both health regions have been endowed with (Joan XXIII University Hospital of Tarragona, Verge de la Cinta Hospital of Tortosa, Sant Joan de Reus University Hospital, Institut Pere Mata University Hospital of Reus) and Rovira and Virgili University, in order to bring together and manage biomedical research and innovation in the territory.
The successful candidate will join a young and dynamic scientific community and be supervised by two labs: the Gerard Muntané Lab, at the IRB Cat Sud, Tarragona, and Gabriel Santpere lab, at the Research Programme on Biomedical Informatics (GRIB-IMIM/UPF), located at the Biomedical Research Park of Barcelona. Gerard Muntané is a researcher in the Genetics and Environment in Psychiatry (GAP) group, which is part of the Strategic Area of Neurosciences and Mental Health of the IISPV. Gabriel Santpere is the head of the recently formed Neurogenomics group at the GRIB-IMIM. His group is interested in the mechanisms that lead to brain specializations, including the human manifestations of multiple neuropsychiatric disorders.
We are looking for highly motivated and qualified candidates for a 3-month contract to join a project funded by La Marató de TV3 entitled: “INSCRIPTION: An integrative approach to schizophrenia risk prediction leveraging genetics, brain imaging and neuroepithelium’s transcriptome”. The project focuses on the genetic bases of schizophrenia, and how we can combine multimodal data extracted from patients recruited for this project, to improve our prediction of the disorder. The candidate will co-lead the writing of results in a scientific manuscript.
Job offer linked to the project with identification code 202230 30 31 32, which has the support of the Fundació La Marató de TV3 as a financing entity.
