This postdoctoral position at the University of Barcelona investigates the genetic and epigenetic basis of phenotypic plasticity in the mayfly Cloeon dipterum. The project employs functional genomic approaches such as ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, and bisulfite sequencing, combined with bioinformatic analyses, to study gene regulation and epigenomics involved in colour variations. Candidates are expected to have a PhD in Biological Sciences or a related field, with expertise in epigenomics, transcription factors, chromatin methylation, and programming skills in Python or R. The role offers a full-time contract with a gross salary of 31,500€ per year, starting October 1, 2026, following an application deadline of June 23, 2026.

This postdoctoral position in Neuroscience at the University of Barcelona focuses on the ‘NewPaths’ project, aiming to discover biomarkers of brain function through study of neurodegenerative diseases and the glymphatic system. The successful candidate will design experiments, perform immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence on brain tissue, conduct chemical labeling, analyze data using SPSS, and disseminate results via publications and international conferences. Fluency in Catalan and English is required.

The University of Barcelona invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher in theoretical nuclear physics within the NGEDF project. The role involves developing next-generation nuclear energy density functionals using advanced statistical inference, machine learning, and high-performance computing. Candidates will work on nuclear many-body theory, simulations, and analysis of nuclear masses and charge radii, with a gross salary of €29,100 per year and a start date in January 2027.

This postdoctoral position in Gravitational Waves at the University of Barcelona invites candidates with a PhD in Physics or Astronomy to join the ICCUB Gravitational Waves Group. The successful applicant will contribute to projects on gravitational-wave parameter estimation, polarization studies, detector characterization, and nuclear physics in neutron stars, collaborating with LVK, Einstein Telescope, LISA, and Spanish RedONGRA networks. The role offers a one-year full-time contract with a gross salary of 40,000€, based in Barcelona.

The University of Barcelona invites applications for a full‑time postdoctoral position in the Department of Inorganic and Organic Chemistry, focusing on hybrid halide perovskite materials for solar energy applications. The successful candidate will engage in the synthesis, characterization, and device fabrication of perovskite‑based solar cells, with an emphasis on band‑gap engineering and device physics. Prior experience in materials synthesis, device fabrication, and solar cell testing is required, along with strong English communication skills and the ability to work independently. The position is funded through a temporary work contract (37.5 h/week) and offers a starting date of 15 September 2026, with applications due by 30 June 2026.

This postdoctoral position is offered by the University of Barcelona, specifically within the Department of Quantum Physics and Astrophysics at the Institute of Cosmos Sciences, Faculty of Physics. The successful candidate will join the research project “Globular cluster formation (GCform)” led by Prof. Mark Gieles, focusing on the formation and dynamical evolution of globular clusters and their role as potential sources of gravitational wave emission from binary black hole mergers. The project will employ state-of-the-art N-body simulations to model star cluster formation across a range of masses, densities and metallicities, comparing results with observational data from the Gaia space telescope in preparation for Gaia Data Release 4. Key objectives include quantifying the efficiency of forming binaries containing stellar‑mass black holes, testing whether low‑mass open clusters in the Milky Way harbor such black holes, benchmarking the fast cluster evolution code clusterBHBdynamics (cBHBd), and investigating the origins of runaway massive stars ejected from clusters.

Postdoctoral position at Institut Pasteur to investigate cellular senescence, reprogramming, and aging. The research focuses on how senescent cells shape tissue function in vivo, particularly in relation to cellular plasticity, immune-stromal interactions, and tissue remodeling. Advanced techniques including genetic mouse models, organoids, and single-cell transcriptomics will be used.

This PhD position focuses on investigating the function of plant splicing regulators in Arabidopsis thaliana under environmental stresses such as heat and darkness. The project combines experimental molecular genetics and biochemistry approaches to study differential regulation at the organ level, integrating proteomic and transcriptomic analyses. Candidates will contribute to understanding how splicing mechanisms modulate plant responses to abiotic signals, gaining expertise in advanced molecular biology techniques.
