FPS groups are looking for R2 (postdoctoral) researchers who can apply for competitive HR grants from the 2022 call of the Agencia Estatal de Investigación of the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación. Specifically:
AYUDAS JUAN DE LA CIERVA 2022 / JUAN DE LA CIERVA GRANTS
Submission of applications: from 24 January to 13 February 2023 at 14:00h.
Eligibility requirements:
- Hold a doctoral degree obtained between 1 January 2021 and 31 December 2022. In the case of disabled participants, the date of obtaining the doctorate degree must be between 1 January 2020 and 31 December 2022.
- Apply to join an R&D centre other than the one where you did your pre-doctoral training.
- Not having applied to the Ramón y Cajal grants 2022 call, by the deadline.
- Not being a beneficiary of a grant from previous Juan de la Cierva, Formación Posdoctoral, Juan de la Cierva-formación o Juan de la Cierva incorporación calls. A beneficiary of these actions means a person included in any of the award resolutions of previous calls for these actions, regardless of whether the researcher joined the R&D Centre or not.

1.Group: Metabolism, Immunology and Cardiovascular Risk Group
Main Researcher of the Project: Inés Pineda Torra. Research Centre CABIMER (Andalusian Centre of Molecular Biology and Regenerative Medicine).
Research line in which the candidate will work: Cardiovascular risk and lipid metabolism: age & sex differences
Summary of research line: We use blood metabolomic and proteomic profiles and transcriptomic approaches coupled with bioinformatic analyses to understand cardiovascular risk in women and establish sex differences with men. We focus our molecular work on human immune cells and use mouse models to validate molecular hits.
Profile of the desired candidate:
- BSc in Health related specialties (eg. Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Pharmacy, Medicine)
- Expertise in research related with immune or metabolic diseases (eg.transcriptomic or metabolomic analyses, OR with immune cells OR with experimental animal models of metabolic diseases).

4.Group: Proteases and Extracellular Matrix.
Main Researcher of the Project: Dr Juan Carlos Rodríguez-Manzaneque, GENYO-Granada.
Research line in which the candidate will work: Control of tumor progression and its immune response by remodelling the extracellular matrix.
Summary of research line: Fight against cancer requires a deep knowledge of multiple players withing the complex tumor heterogeneity, including the composition and nature of the dynamic extracellular matrix (ECM). In this scenario, many studies of extracellular proteases as modifiers of the tumor microenvironment have revealed their participation as oncogenic as well as tumor-protective molecules. Given their extracellular nature, the identification of their substrates together with their modulatory tasks promoting or inhibiting immune infiltration will disclose new and underexplored targeting pathways.
Profile of the desired candidate:
- Expertise in the study and characterization of cell populations, using techniques such as cytometry, western blot, multiplex, and others.
- Expertise in the use and manipulation of tumor mouse models.
- Advanced knowledge and understanding of the complexity of tumor heterogeneity.
- Knowledge of bioinformatic tools to analyze RNAseq and cancer-related big data.

5.Group: Gene Regulation, Stem cells and Development.
Main Researcher of the Project: Dr. Verónica Ramos Mejía, Pfizer - Universidad de Granada - Junta de Andalucía Centre for Genomics and Oncological Research (GENYO)
Research line in which the candidate will work: Modeling carcinogenesis with stem cells
Summary of research line: As cancer stem cells are closely related to normal stem cells, gaining knowledge on the cellular and molecular similarities and differences between a normal stem cell and its malignant counterpart, will help us to understand, identify and attack cancer stem cells
Profile of the desired candidate:
- We are looking for an enthusiastic candidate enjoying intellectual challenge and out-of-the-box thinking, with substantial skills in molecular biology and cell biology, and extensive expertise with human Pluripotent Stem Cells Models. Basic bioinformatics and team membership skills within multidisciplinary research teams are a strong plus.
