GRADUATE STUDENT / INVESTIGADOR EN FORMACIÓN

This position is for a predoctoral fellow, who will work in a project aimed at the characterization of the cardiac remodeling that occurs after a coronary infarct and its possible treatment using cell or tissue therapies (implants). The work will consist of the development of tools for the enhancement and quantification of ultrasound echocardiography images of animal models of the disease. The candidate must a basic training/degree on Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or related topic, and must have a Master of Science or Engineering degree in one of those areas, that is required to access the research phase of the doctorate.

GRADUATE STUDENT / INVESTIGADOR EN FORMACIÓN

This is a predoctoral fellowship position, to work in a project aimed at the characterization of the dynamics of telomere shortening in Lung cancer. The work will consist on the use of imaging techniques (time lapse microscopy, FMT) and molecular techniques to characterize, first in cell lines and later in animal models, the process of telomere shortening that occurs during cancer development. The candidate must have a basic training on Biology or Biochemistry, and hold a Masters of Science degree on one of those areas, to access the research phase of his/her doctorate.

RESEARCH ASSOCIATE / COLABORADOR DE INVESTIGACIÓN

A position is offered to work in a project aimed at the characterization of cell migratory processes in three-dimensional microdevices that resemble the native tissue environment where these processes occur. The candidate will be in charge of the development and will coordinate the development of 4D image analysis tools for the detection and tracking of cells on videos captured using spinning disk confocal microscopy (SDCM). The candidate must have proved experience on the analysis of fluorescence microscopy images, ideally LSCM or SDCM, and a Ph.D. degree in Engineering or Physics.
