A leading research center in Spain, specializing in biophysics, seeks research scientists at postdoctoral and predoctoral levels. Join the Laboratory for Numerical Methods of Cryo Electron Tomography and contribute to pioneering research integrating deep learning techniques with software development for cryoET analysis.
The Instituto Biofisika (IBF) is a joint research centre of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). The centre specializes in fundamental and translational biophysics research and fosters a highly collaborative environment.
Located at the Leioa Campus of the University of the Basque Country, IBF is currently accepting expressions of interest for research scientist positions at both postdoctoral and predoctoral levels. Successful candidates will join the Laboratory for Numerical Methods of Cryo Electron Tomography (cryoET), led by Dr. Daniel Castaño Díez.
The group focuses on advancing computational methodologies for the automated analysis and interpretation of 3D cellular imagery, primarily through its in-house software platform Dynamo. This research is part of the project "RGP0017/2020 - Time-resolving the mechanism of exocytosis in situ," funded by the Human Frontiers Science Program, which has provided deep insights into exocytosis mechanics in living cells via new cryo-electron tomography processing methods.
The current goal is to extend this tool by integrating novel deep learning techniques to identify and characterize small, flexible proteins within their natural environments. The successful applicant will contribute to developing these methodologies, as well as to the ongoing development and maintenance of the software. They will also analyze cryoET datasets provided by external collaborators.
Positions are flexible with an aim for an effective start in Fall 2025, with funding secured until August 2029. Salaries range from €27,000 to €42,000 gross per year for BSc/MSc holders, and €38,000 to €53,000 for PhD holders, aligned with skills and experience.
Expressions of interest should be sent as a single PDF to ******, including a Curriculum Vitae with academic record and a motivation letter.
