Postdoctoral Position in Neuroimaging - Pasqual Maragall Foundation, Barcelonabeta Brain Research Center, Barcelona, Spain.
Job Summary: Pasqual Maragall Foundation invites applications for a full-time postdoctoral position to conduct post-processing and analyzing of MRI neuroimaging data (e.g. structural, fMRI, DWI), as part of a clinical research program on Alzheimer's disease. Principal Responsibilities: The primary responsibility of this position includes post-processing and analyzing brain MRI data within the Foundation's Alzheimer's disease clinical research and its flagship project, the Alzheimer and Families (ALFA). The ALFA study is a large longitudinal cohort of sons and daughters of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, to explore the preclinical stage of this condition with the aim of identifying novel risk factors and biomarkers. This study will enhance our knowledge of the processes involved before the onset of AD to develop interventions aimed to prevent or delay the disease. Within this study we are collecting a comprehensive amount of data, including blood samples, mental health, quality of life and risk factors, as well as, neuroimaging procedures to assess brain function. The Barcelonabeta Brain Research Center (Barcelonabeta) is a new research infrastructure, constituted by the Pasqual Maragall Foundation and with the participation of the Pompeu Fabra University, dedicated to research on Alzheimer's disease. The new building will be completed by summer 2014, and will contain excellent technical facilities including a research-dedicated 3T MR scanner, dedicated to clinical research on neurodegenerative diseases. Barcelonabeta is a research institute affiliated to Pompeu Fabra University and is also part of the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB), a large research facility that hosts seven different research institutions related to biomedical research, including the Hospital del Mar Research Institute (IMIM), the Experimental and Health Sciences Department (CEXS) of the UPF, the Regenerative Medicine Centre of Barcelona (CMRB), and the Centre for Research in Environmental Epidemiology (CREAL), among others, in a multidisciplinary, collaborative and stimulating international environment in close contact with a clinical setting, thus conducive to translational research. Required Qualifications: · PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Medical Physics, Neuroscience or related disciplines. · Strong background in MRI analysis and related statistical methods for research (SPM, Freesurfer, FSL or similar). · Experience with image processing and data analysis. · Ability to think independently and work collaboratively. Benefits · Starting date: April 2014. · The postdoctoral position is scheduled initially for three years (open to renewal). · Salary will depend on experience. Additional Information: To apply, please submit a single PDF file containing the following: 1) Cover letter describing research interests and relevant background; 2) CV with list of publications; 3) The names of three individuals who could provide reference letters. All files or inquiries should be submitted electronically to: r...@fpmaragall.org Juan D.
