Undergraduates & MastersUndergraduates & Masters

The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) aims to provide highly motivated undergraduate and master students the opportunity to conduct research at the CRG. The goal is to encourage students (from all nationalities) in the pursuit of a scientific career giving them the prospect to get experience in an international laboratory while improving their skills.

The CRG is a center of excellence with international teams representing a broad range of disciplines, with first class core technologies to support the research projects, a wide range of seminars given by high-profile invited speakers, and courses on complementary and transferable skills integrated with the training programme.

We accept applications throughout the year for any type of internship with a learning agreement with your university. Have a look at our labs and research programmes and contact the Group Leader of your choice directly with the following documents attached:

  • Motivation letter
  • CV
  • Reference letter
  • University transcripts

Acceptance will depend on the capacity of the research group and the ongoing projects.

We host online events and workshops to inform you about various opportunities available at the CRG and guide you on how to search for PhD positions. If you are keen to learn more, please check HERE.

Below are some fellowships available for the academic year 2025/2026:

All CRG labs are open to host Master’s and Bachelor’s students throughout the year. In addition, we are pleased to offer 10 fellowship opportunities across different research projects. Each project will remain open until the right candidate is selected, giving motivated students the opportunity to become part of our vibrant research community and contribute to cutting-edge science.

Fellowships Conditions: 

  • Stipend: 600€/month/gross – up to 5 months
  • Travel support: Return ticket (up to 800€/non European flights / up to 300€ for European flights)
  • Eligibility: The fellowship can only be given to new recruits, not students already at the CRG
  • Timing: The fellowship needs to be given within the 2025/2026 academic year

Application Procedure: 
Read carefully the projects below and, if interested, contact the project supervisor and group leader. Please include the following documents in your application:

Single cell genomics and evolution - SEBÉ-PEDRÓS Lab

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Chromatin | Evolution | Transcription | Transposons | Proteomics | Phylogenetics | Biochemistry

In the Sebé-Pedrós lab, we study how chromatin regulation has evolved across the eukaryotic tree of life. Building on our recent work characterizing the diversity of histone post-translational modifications using phylogenomics, proteomics, and an innovative ChIP-seq method, we now aim to uncover the functional crosstalk between chromatin “readers” and “writers.”
This project will combine molecular phylogenetics, proteomics, chromatin profiling, and biochemical approaches. The master student will play an active role in generating new datasets and, importantly, in the computational integration of epigenomic data. The ultimate goal is to advance our understanding of how eukaryotic chromatin states and components have diversified and evolved.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We are looking for a candidate with experience in at least one of the following fields: phylogenetics, proteomics, genomics, or iochemistry. The ideal candidate is pursuing a Master’s in Biology, Biochemistry, or related disciplines, with a Bachelor's degree in Biology, Biomedicine, or a related field. They should have basic molecular biology skills, some knowledge of chromatin and evolution, and programming skills in R or other scripting languages (Python/Perl). Additionally, the candidate should demonstrate a strong desire to expand their scientific knowledge and skillset and possess a collaborative and friendly attitude. Optional but desirable skills include experience in omics data generation, sterile culturing, and utilising HPC clusters.
