Position 1: BIOINFORMATICS DEVELOPER - BIODIVERSITY CELL ATLAS DATABASE
The role 
The CRG is recruiting a Bioinformatician with experience in genomics
pipeline development and database infrastructure. The position will
entail developing computational pipelines for the processing of novel
and existing single-cell transcriptomic datasets from diverse species
across the tree of life, as well as developing a comparative cell atlas
database. The candidate will be a part of a highly interdisciplinary team
that includes computational, evolutionary, and molecular biologists in
different groups at CRG (including the Bioinformatics Unit), and this
project will be developed in very close contact with groups at EMBL-EBI
(Hinxton, UK) and at the Earlham Institute (Norwich, UK).

About the team
Cells are the fundamental units of life - underlying cooperative
functions in multicellular organisms and complex temporal life cycles in
microbial eukaryotes. In recent years, the rapid advance in single-cell
genomics technologies, combined with the growing availability of
whole-genome sequences, opened up the opportunity to systematically map
cell types in diverse organisms.

The goal of the Biodiversity Cell Atlas is to articulate a community
effort to build whole-organism cell atlases across the diversity
of life, working in a phylogenetically informed way, supported by
high-quality genomes, and using shared standards that make comparisons
across diversity possible. This coordinated effort should boost our
understanding the evolution and diversity of life at cellular resolution:
from gene regulatory programs, through cell type molecular profiles,
to biological interactions between species.

At CRG, and together with EBI and the Earlham Institute, we are developing
the computational infrastructure to host a multi-species database for
the Biodiversity Cell Atlas initiative. This will enable the interactive
exploration of cell type molecular maps, gene co-expression profiles
across evolution, comparison of cell types across species, and more.

Position 2: BIOINFORMATICS TEAM LEADER - BIODIVERSITY CELL ATLAS DATABASE
The role 
The CRG is recruiting a Bioinformatics Team Leader with experience in
genomics pipeline development and database infrastructure. The position
will entail coordinating a small (3-5) team of Bioinformaticians and
computer scientists working together to develop computational pipelines
to analyse of single-cell transcriptomic data across the tree of life;
to curate and integrate these datasets using phylogenetic methods; and
to set-up a comparative cell atlas database. The candidate will be a
part of a highly interdisciplinary team that includes computational,
evolutionary, and molecular biologists in different groups at CRG
(including the Bioinformatics Unit), and this project will be developed
in very close contact with groups at EMBL-EBI (Hinxton, UK) and at the
Earlham Institute (Norwich, UK).
