The MARBILab (Magnetic Resonance for Brain Investigation Laboratory) at the Enrico Fermi Center, Rome, Italy, is opening a call for a 2-years postdoctoral position in the area of brain functional networks in neurodegenerative disorders and aging, exploiting quantitative MRI techniques . The aim of the project is to investigate the brain disconnection at network level occurring during aging and dementia, and to disentangle the relevant vascular and metabolic components. The project is part of the NETFUN (Brain FUNctional NETwork studied by NMR) project, a collaboration between Enrico Fermi Centre and the Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Center (CUBRIC) – School of Psychology – Cardiff University (UK). Available facilities include 3 3T scanners (2 in Rome, 1 in Cardiff) and full processing facilities. The ideal applicant has a solid MRI background, including a PhD in Physics, Mathematics, Engineering or Information Technology. Experience with analysis of functional and structural MRI data is highly desirable, as well as good knowledge of Matlab programming language. The postdoc fellow will work in a multidisciplinary group, with experience in dementia and in functional and structural MRI. The study will be mainly based in Rome (MARBILab, c/o Santa Lucia Foundation), with some work based in Cardiff. Thus, the applicant must be inclined to collaborate in different environments, and highly motivated. The post will be available from June, and is funded for 2 years. Salary is in the range of 25000 EUR/year (tax-exempt) Informal enquiries to Dr Federico Giove federico.giove(a)roma1.infn.it The official call will be published within June on http://www.centrofermi.it/index.php/grants/bandi , (Italian language), but interested people are expected to send a CV including publication list before the application to federico.giove(a)roma1.infn.it
