IRB Barcelona (www.irbbarcelona.org) is a multidisciplinary institute where scientists address challenging and pressing biomedical problems in a collaborative fashion in order to provide groundbreaking solutions to unmet medical needs. The institute currently has more than 450 members from all over the world working in 28 research groups.

IRB Barcelona invites applications from outstanding young investigators in the field of ageing-associated diseases for a tenure track junior Group Leader position.

The successful candidate will be expected to tackle—both from the clinical and fundamental research perspectives—ageing-associated pathologies. They will join a highly interdisciplinary and collaborative institution that is strong in research into cancer/metastasis, ageing and cell reprogramming, metabolism, cell differentiation, signal transduction, and gene expression regulation. The laboratories hosted by IRB
Barcelona have a broad high-impact publication track in the aforementioned topics.

The successful candidate will be provided with laboratory space, a generous start-up package, running costs and access to state-of-the-art facilities (listed at irbbarcelona.org). In addition, they will be able to take part in IRB Barcelona's Mentoring Programme for new Group Leaders.

IRB Barcelona strives to provide a supportive and international working environment. The institute recognises the power of a diverse community and encourages applications from individuals with varied experiences, perspectives and backgrounds, and it is committed to promoting gender diversity among faculty. To this end, IRB Barcelona adopts family-friendly policies, adheres to state-of-the-art guidelines for advancing gender equality and women's leadership in science, and is happy to discuss
specific arrangements to facilitate an optimal work-life balance for the successful candidate with a family, including help with relocation costs and childcare.

Applications should include a full CV, letter of intent, brief (2-page) research proposal, and the names of at least three referees. Deadline: 15 of May 2023.
