It is advisable that in the email they briefly describe the reasons that motivate the request and attach two reference letters, if possible, from previous supervisors.

For the selection, an interview will be carried out by video-appointment and, in addition to the result of the interview, it will be taken into account the academic record of the Bachelor's studies (ideally, above 7.5 on a 0-10 scale) and the subject of the Master degree. It will be also evaluated previous experience in behavioral tests in mice an solid communication skills in English. In general, we will value motivation, creativity, imagination and abilities to work within a team.

Fecha límite: Los interesados deben enviar su CV por e-mail antes del 23 de septiembre de 2020, incluyendo hoja de notas del grado y máster (si procede) con sus correspondientes notas medias, al Dr. José Antonio Calera (jacalera@usal.es).

We are looking for a candidate to do his doctorate at the University of Salamanca (USAL) with the support of the USAL Program III in Dr. Calera's laboratory.

The research project will focus on studying the relationship between regulation of zinc homeostasis, glyoxin biosynthesis and pathogenesis in the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus (project funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation in the last call of 2019).

It will be necessary to have a degree in Biotechnology, Biological Sciences or Biochemistry with an average grade of 8.0 or higher and a good level of English. Have a Master's degree completed or be doing one in this course.

Deadline: Those interested should send their CV by e-mail before September 23, 2020, including the grade sheet of the degree and master's degree (if applicable) with their corresponding average grades, to Dr. José Antonio Calera (jacalera@usal.es).

We are looking for research motivated candidates to work at the Institute of Functional Biology and Genomics (IBFG) in the Transcriptional Regulation group led by Dr. Olga Calvo. .

In our group we are interested in the search for new regulatory mechanisms of transcription and its coordination with other cellular processes. The predoctoral contract is associated with a recently awarded research project whose objective is to study the mechanisms that regulate the function of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) during transcription in the nucleus and its connection with the translation and degradation of messenger RNAs in the cytoplasm. Specifically, we are interested in studying how RNAPII phosphorylation regulates its function and nuclear-cytoplasmic localization.

A predoctoral contract is offered under project PID2020-116396GB-I00, entitled NEW RNA POLYMERASE II PHOSPHORYLATION SITES REGULATE GENE EXPRESSION.

Interested candidates must have the following requirements:

-Graduate in any of the life or health sciences (Biology, Biotechnology, Pharmacy, etc.), having passed the Master's degree, and with an undergraduate record higher than 7.0
-English language skills.
-Experience in molecular biology, cellular biology, genetics, and/or bioinformatics is a plus..

Interested applicants should send their CV, undergraduate and master's degree transcripts, and a cover letter to Olga Calvo (ocalvo@usal.es)..

Our Quantitative Biology laboratory is looking for a candidate to apply for a pre-doctoral fellowship to carry out a doctoral thesis at the Institute of Functional Biology and Genomics of Salamanca.

We are interested in identifying defects in chromosome dynamics in vivo during meiosis that have relevance for gametogenesis and fertility. We use artificial intelligence and quantitative cell biology tools to identify these defects.

We are looking for graduates in Biology, Biotechnology or related sciences, with interest in research and willingness to learn.

What we offer: The opportunity to perform a doctoral thesis using modern tools in molecular and cellular biology, high resolution in vivo microscopy, as well as learning in the design and management of computational tools (deep learning and machine learning) for image analysis.

If you are interested, please send your CV, including your transcript, which will be valued, but not exclusive, to: Alfonso Fernández Álvarez: aferalv@usal.es

Applications and informal enquiries should be sent to Julio Flecha (julio.fg@usal.es) indicating Junior Group Leader Positions at IBFG in the email subject.

Histone Post-Translational Modifications (PTMs) regulate chromatin functions allowing the cells to adapt to fluctuating environments. Mutations in histone PTMs and their regulators are associated with the onset and progression of cancer. A small subset of histone PTMs are very well characterized, however, due to the lack of unbiased systematic methods the function of most of them and how they are regulated in a context-specific manner remains a mystery. Now, we are ready to tackle this long-standing question in biology by using a new approach based on reverse genetics and chemical genomics using S. cerevisiae as a model organism. Are you interested in joining our group for your master's thesis and be part of this journey?

We combine cutting-edge high-throughput methodologies based on reverse genetics, chemical genomics and computational analysis with classical molecular biology techniques using yeast. Our group is based at the Functional Biology and Genomics Institute (IBFG) in Salamanca, Spain. IBFG is a joint centre between the Spanish Research Council (CSIC) and the University of Salamanca.
