AGenT | Agricultural Genomics Transversal Postdoctoral Program

Summary
The AGenT (Agricultural Genomics Transversal) postdoctoral program is an ambitious research and training initiative at the
Centre for Research in Agricultural Genomics (CRAG; Barcelona) designed to conduct multidisciplinary and intersectorial
research projects at CRAG in conjunction with associated partner organizations (private companies, research centres and
academic institutions), both national and international. The program will offer twenty (20) two-year postdoctoral fellowships,
and provide ample opportunities for: secondments and research collaborations; training both in specific research areas and
in transferable or transversal skills; and networking activities in both the academic and the industrial sectors; all in order to
enrich the training of the fellows and enhance their professional development while conducting projects of research of
excellence.
The AGenT proposal is a major initiative for CRAG that aims to leverage the capacities of CRAG and those of the partner
institutions to develop a high-impact training program for Experienced Researchers in the area of plant and agricultural
sciences.
