We are looking for two PhD candidates to join the Insilico Vida Lab at the Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria Pere Virgili (IISPV), based in Tarragona, Spain.

The positions are part of a cutting-edge research initiative focused on environmental health risk assessment, predictive modeling, and bioinformatics. Selected candidates will contribute to high-impact EU-funded projects such as PARC, ENVESOME, and MERLON.

This is a opportunity to work in a multidisciplinary and collaborative environment, applying machine learning, QSAR, PBPK modeling, and OMICS data analysis to real-world health challenges.

Key responsibilities include:

• Developing QSAR models to predict biological activity and toxicity;
• Designing PBPK models using experimental and in silico data;
• Applying ML techniques to PBPK and OMICS datasets;
• Analyzing large-scale biological data in the context of regulatory science.

We’re looking for candidates with:

• A Master’s degree in bioinformatics, pharmacy, data science, or a related field;
• Strong programming skills (R, Python, or similar);
• Experience in one or more areas: ML, QSAR, PBPK, or OMICS;
• A collaborative mindset and a strong interest in environmental health research.

A full-time PhD contract will be offered, with flexible start dates, access to advanced computing infrastructure, international collaborations, and opportunities to attend conferences and workshops.
