Join the BIO-HPC group.
We open PhD, postdoctoral and predoctoral positions on a rolling basis — through international, Spanish national and Fundación Séneca fellowship calls. Below are the active tracks; specific calls are published when each funding window opens.
Active tracks
All positions are co-supervised, integrated in the group’s drug-discovery pipeline and HPC tooling.
PhD positions
PhD positions for international and Spanish candidates in computational drug discovery, machine learning for bioinformatics, HPC for life sciences and structure-based design. Co-supervision with international partners possible.
Read more →Postdoctoral positions
Postdoctoral positions for early-career researchers with a PhD in computational chemistry, computer science, bioinformatics or related areas. Marie Curie and Juan de la Cierva applications welcome.
Read more →Beca FPU
Spanish FPU (Formación del Profesorado Universitario) predoctoral fellowship from the Ministerio de Educación. Yearly call. Spanish nationality typically required.
Read more →Beca Predoctoral UCAM
Predoctoral fellowship funded by UCAM Universidad Católica de Murcia. Open to international candidates with a strong academic record in computer science, chemistry or biotechnology.
Read more →Beca Predoctoral Fundación Séneca
Competitive predoctoral fellowship from Fundación Séneca (Regional Government of Murcia). Yearly call, normally late spring.

Open applications by email are welcome year-round.
- Send a short email to Prof. Horacio Pérez-Sánchez at hperez@ucam.edu with: a 1-page CV, a brief motivation paragraph (3-5 sentences), and one or two topics from our research lines that interest you most.
- If there is fit, we schedule a video call to discuss specific projects and the most appropriate fellowship/funding route.
- Funding is then targeted to the most suitable open call (FPU, Séneca, UCAM, Marie Curie, Juan de la Cierva, etc.) and the application is co-prepared with the group.
- Visiting researchers — short-stay scholars from international partner groups are welcome under HPC-Europa3 and bilateral programmes. Contact directly.
Working in the group
Members publish in international peer-reviewed journals, contribute to patented compounds, build software used by industry partners, and present at major conferences. The group is integrated within UCAM’s HiTech Innovation Hub and operates with UCAM and external HPC resources (BSC, NLHPC, PSNC, HPC-Europa).
