Description
The Barcelonaβeta Brain Research Center (BBRC) is actively seeking a talented neuroimaging researcher to assume the role of neuroimaging group leader, contributing to ongoing research endeavors focused on Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. The company is particularly interested in individuals with neuroimaging expertise in aging, age-related cognitive disorders, and dementia, with a specific focus on the prevention and early detection of Alzheimer's disease. The ideal candidate will demonstrate advanced proficiency in both brain MRI and brain PET acquisition and analysis techniques, along with a proven track record of successfully securing competitive grants.
Candidates will be considered at both mid and senior levels, considering their career trajectories. The chosen candidate will assume leadership of the current Neuroimaging Research Group, a multidisciplinary team expert in data acquisition, processing, and analysis of complex neuroimaging data. The center is open to considering both full- and part-time positions and is receptive to non-exclusive collaborations. BBRC highly values candidates with robust connections to international research groups, active engagement with the pharma industry, and proven expertise in both team and budget management.
The Neuroimaging Research Group is dedicated to investigating MRI and PET images to reveal brain characteristics associated with healthy aging and AD risk factors, providing insights into potential novel preventive strategies. Neuroimaging data is analyzed together with cognitive, genetics, biomarker and other clinical, environmental and lifestyle factors data to detect their impact on the brain at the structural, functional, and molecular levels.
The current research lines of the neuroimaging group, which should be maintained by the future neuroimaging Group Leader, can be found on the BBRC webpage:
