Bioinformatics for Spatial Metabolomics

We offer a 3-year contract scholarship to develop research work that would allow the candidates to obtain their PhD degree in the doctorate program of Tecnologies for Nanosystems, Bioengineering and Energy at the Department of Electrical Engineering of the Rovira i Virgili University. The Universitat Rovira I Virgili is a public university in the South of Catalonia. It is very strong in research and takes 80th position in the “Times Higher Education” ranking of the top 100 universities under the age of 50. Tarragona is a Mediterranean city with a mild climate, 100 km South - East of Barcelona with many cultural and ludic activities.
