Overview
The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) is accepting applications for undergraduate and master’s research fellowships in Barcelona for the 2026/27 academic year. Students can apply to research projects spanning proteomics, functional genomics, single-cell biology, neuronal diversity, machine learning, computational biology, evolutionary modelling and health genomics.
Applications are handled directly by the relevant project supervisor and group leader. Each project remains open until a suitable candidate is selected, so there is no single fixed deadline.
Who can apply
Applicants must:
CRG states that students of all nationalities may apply. The specific academic and technical requirements differ by project. These include life-science and laboratory profiles as well as computational backgrounds involving Python, R, Bash/Linux, bioinformatics, mathematics, physics, statistics or computer science.
The official page does not state a formal age limit, residence restriction, English-language test or minimum language score. Applicants should confirm any practical language expectations with the relevant project contacts.
What the opportunity provides
This opportunity is not verified as fully funded. CRG does not state on the fellowship page that it covers accommodation, meals, local transport, health insurance, visa costs or all other living expenses.
Required documents
Applicants should tailor their motivation letter to the chosen project. The official page does not specify file formats, page limits or whether additional proof of enrolment is required at the initial email stage.
Selection process and timeline
Applicants first choose a suitable project and send the required documents directly to that project’s named contacts. Acceptance depends on the research group’s capacity and ongoing projects. Each project remains open until a suitable candidate is found.
CRG does not publish a central interview schedule, decision date, ranking method or result-notification timeline on this page. The fellowship must be awarded during the 2026/27 academic year.
Important conditions
The applicant must be enrolled in an official undergraduate or MSc programme.
Visa and immigration information
The opportunity is based in Barcelona, Spain. The fellowship page does not confirm visa sponsorship, payment of visa fees or fellowship-specific immigration support. CRG has a separate general relocation page for international staff, but that is not evidence of guaranteed visa support for these student fellowships.
International applicants should ask CRG which immigration route and supporting documents apply to their situation. Selection for a project does not guarantee a visa or permission to enter or remain in Spain.
TripDoc verification notes
TripDoc verified the 2026/27 fellowship conditions, rolling project-based application route, required documents, stipend and travel caps on CRG’s official website on 19 September 2026. The opportunity should be described as a stipend-supported fellowship, not fully funded.
The official page says 10 fellowships are offered but currently displays eight project sections. There is no fixed deadline, and any project may stop accepting applications once a candidate is chosen. Visa support, net stipend, application fee and coverage of living costs are not confirmed on the official fellowship page.
