*Job Summary: *
The Pasqual Maragall Foundation
<http://www.fpmaragall.org/en_index.html> 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 of the Barcelonaβeta Brain Research Centre
<http://www.barcelonabeta.org/> (Barcelona, Spain).
*Principal Responsibilities: *
The primary responsibility of this position includes creating new
hypothesis on the initial pathophysiological events of AD based on
neuroimaging 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. Within this study, over 2700 volunteers have already been
screened and a comprehensive amount of data has been collected,
including blood samples, mental health, quality of life and risk
factors, as well as, neuroimaging procedures to assess brain function.
In this regard, over 500 participants already have undergone an MRI
protocol and PET imaging is underway. 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.
The Barcelonaβeta Brain Research Center (Barcelonaβeta) 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

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 Neuroscience, Medicine, Psychology, Neuropsychology or related
disciplines.
・Strong background in the design of experimental protocols with fMRI and
in the interpretation of neuroimaging research results.
・Excellent scientific writing skills.
