ABOUT THE EMPLOYER

The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) is an international biomedical research institute of excellence, created in December 2000. A unique centre in Spain, based in an innovative organization research model.

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.

The CRG Postdoctoral Programme is designed to broaden and deepen the research skills and training of the postdocs and to boost their career perspectives and encourage them to become successful independent research scientists. This advanced programme includes training-through research, specific scientific and technology courses and a variety of CRG seminars (Data clubs, Journal Clubs, Lab Meetings, Programme Seminars and Group Leader Seminars) as well as CRG/PRBB conferences with international guest speakers (over 200 every year).
