Offer Description

Objectives

Improve the biomanufacturing efficiency through a combination of advanced computational and experimental techniques (in model organisms such as P. pastoris and C. necator), along with AI-driven tools for bio-retrosynthesis-based metabolic pathway design, enzyme design and optimization, and DNA part selection.

Knowledge-graph-based combinatorial experiment designs are used to span multiple scales, while Multiobjective optimization strategies ensure improvements in efficiency across various biomanufacturing scales.

Expected Results

Development of innovative bio-based production methods tailored to meet specific target property requirements. These methods will leverage new-to-nature metabolic pathways, ensuring the efficient production of food ingredients and proteins.

A multi-scale strategy will be implemented to design and optimise these metabolic pathways, integrating insights from various biological scales.

NoOffer DescriptionThe Institute for Economic Analysis (IAE) is a research center within the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), the largest public research institution in Spain.

Founded in **** and situated in the Barcelona metropolitan area, the IAE is renowned for advancing frontier research in economics.

Its team of researchers is dedicated to scientific excellence, employing both theoretical and empirical approaches across a wide spectrum of economic areas.

Consistently recognized in international rankings, the IAE stands out as one of Europe's premier institutions for economic research.The IAE is also a founding member of the Barcelona School of Economics (BSE), a world-class institution that fosters collaboration among four academic and research units in Barcelona.

The BSE has consistently been awarded Severo Ochoa grants since the program was launched by Spain's State Research Agency.

This prestigious recognition is awarded to top research institutions in Spain that demonstrate scientific impact and leadership at the international level.

The IAE is engaged in graduate education by directing and contributing to BSE Master's programs.

We are equally dedicated to the IDEA doctoral program at UAB, where we mentor the next generation of scholars, equipping them with the guidance, resources, and support necessary to excel in their academic pursuits.As a public institution, CSIC periodically opens \"Permanent Job Calls,\" which are the way to achieve a permanent public position at CSIC as a civil servant.

You may consult these at CSIC's Virtual Platform .

There are 3 levels of permanent positions at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC): Tenured Scientist (Associate Professor level 1), Research Scientist (Associate Professor level 2) and Research Professor.CSIC typically opens an annual call for permanent positions, but this does not guarantee that the IAE will have an open position / open positions each year.

In general, the IAE Board must request positions from CSIC, submitting a list of highly qualified candidates who have expressed a strong interest in joining the institute.

Therefore, if you are interested, please contact ****** and check our website here or here .

As a general rule, candidates should have a European Union citizenship, although there are a few exceptions to this.

To apply for a tenured civil servant position, candidates who have completed their Ph.D. thesis abroad must have their doctoral degree homologated or at least received the equivalence in Spain.

Equivalence is a simplified procedure that certifies, for academic purposes, that the training completed to obtain a foreign master's or doctoral degree is comparable to that required in Spain, both in terms of level and in relation to a specific academic area and field.

For reference, the process of obtaining the equivalence of a foreign Ph.D. degree can take up several months.

Hence, the process should be started before there is a call announcing new positions.If you need the recognition of equivalence of your doctoral degree, the body responsible for issuing it will be any Spanish public or private university, provided that the university offers a doctoral program comparable to the one for which recognition is sought.

Some of the documents to be submitted will require an official translation into Spanish and might require legalization .

Within the European Union, the translation of public documents of a Member State is not required when they are accompanied by a standard multilingual form.

The legalization must be carried out by the Spanish consular office in the country where the document was issued, except in the case of countries that are signatories of the Hague Convention , where legalization is replaced by the apostille, issued by the competent authorities of the country of origin.

Neither legalization nor apostille is required for academic documents issued by EU Member States, signatories to the EEA Agreement or Switzerland.
