"Postdoctoral Positions Available – Neurometabolic Lab, IDIBELL"

We are looking for talented postdoctoral researchers to join the Neurometabolic Lab at the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL), located at the University of Barcelona Campus in Bellvitge, Barcelona, Spain. Our lab is led by Prof. Aurora Pujol, and focuses on Genomic Medicine for brain genetic disorders, particularly leukodystrophies. We belong to research communities of CIBERER, La Caixa and ICREA.

What We Do:

We integrate cutting-edge multiomics analysis for identification of molecular targets drugs repurposing, translating into clinical trials. We apply multiomic approaches to investigate immunometabolism and the role of complex lipids in regulating the innate and adaptive immune responses. Our projects are supported by both national and international grants and research networks.

Your Role:

We are seeking immunologists or cell and molecular biologists passionate about understanding the molecular basis of brain metabolic disorders. As part of our team, you will apply integrative multiomics and functional analysis of immune cells to validate novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets in a variety of cell models and patient’s samples, including iPSC-derived brain cultures. Your results will directly contribute to translational research with real clinical impact.

What We’re Looking For:

We welcome applications from enthusiastic, proactive, and collaborative researchers who meet the following criteria:

• PhD in immunology, molecular or cell biology, or related disciplines
• Strong publication record in relevant fields
• Excellent communication skills in English
• Interest in brain inflammation, immunometabolism, or lipid biology

How to Apply:

Please submit a single PDF file containing: A cover letter outlining your research interests and motivation; Your full CV; Contact details of two references. Applications should be sent directly to Prof. Aurora Pujol (apujol@idibell.cat). Deadline: August 31st, 2025, but early applications are encouraged as interviews will be conducted on a rolling basis.
