About HULAFE:
The Health Research Institute Hospital La Fe (IIS La Fe) manages the scientific policy of La Fe University Hospital (Hospital Universitari i Politècnic La Fe) in its sphere of influence (La Fe Health Department, Valencia - Departament de Salut València La Fe). Its managing body is the Research Foundation of La Fe University Hospital (Hospital Universitari i Politècnic La Fe), a non-profit foundation of the public sector of the Generalitat Valenciana.The Institute encourages, promotes and fosters cutting-edge investigation, scientific and technological knowledge and its further transfer to the production sector. The same holds true in its role in teaching and training in the Hospital and other primary care centres that fall under the Health Department.The IIS La Fe was accredited by the Health Institute Carlos III (Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness) as a Health Research Institute in 2009, and again re-accredited in 2014, and is made up of the following entities: Hospital Universitari i Politècnic La Fe, Conselleria de Sanitat Universal i Salut Pública, Universitat de València, Universitat Politécnica de València, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas and Foundation for Research of the U. and P.

The Quality and R+D Policy of the Institute establishes the general guidelines of this system, and evidences the Management's commitment to it.
Project description:
The aim of this project is to develop an in-vitro workbench for drug screening by developing a population of hiPSC-derived atrial cardiomyocytes that account for the interpatient variability in cardiac ion channels due to genetic/transcriptional factors. This population of models will be used for testing the arrhythmia inducibility after administration of drugs by analyzing the electrophysiological behaviors and to determine patient biomarkers that can predict drug response and plan a personalized AF therapy.
IIS La Fe has decided to publish a call for a job offer, by a competitive procedure, for a University - Health Sciences - Experimental Sciences, to perform the tasks in the framework of the Project

Service/Unit/Accredited Group: REGENERATION AND HEART TRANSPLANTATION UNIT

Candidate requeriments: (All requeriments are necessary to apply):
University Degree - Health Sciences - Experimental Sciences
