All positions are supported by a generous and very competitive package. While we are prioritising candidates in the areas of Statistical Genomics, Image Bioinformatics and Phenomics, all outstanding candidates in computational biology will be considered The CRG is located at the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB) with six other institutes including a newly created EMBL Outstation. Barcelona ranks among the top European cities to do science. It is also a great place to live. The capital of Catalonia, it is a cosmopolitan city, rich in history, culture, art, sports, food, .... It has lively streets. It is socially and politically strongly motivated. A rich and complex environment, which is intellectually very stimulating. Catalonia has great outdoors, and within one day trips you can find yourself in a secluded beach or hiking a solitary peak. Skiing is within two hours drive. Please help us to get this message to candidates that you may know, and to distribute it as widely as possible.
