Dear colleagues,
We are currently looking for two highly motivated postdoctoral researchers in the Translational Molecular Imaging Lab, led by professor Agneta Nordberg in Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
The group has a strong translational approach for characterizing the complex pathophysiological features of Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative proteinopathies, with the use of in vivo molecular and in vitro brain imaging techniques. We aim to develop new diagnostic markers and drug targets for early intervention during the disease process of neurodegenerative disorders.
The project focuses on work with multi-tracer in vivo PET studies, measuring different pathological markers including beta amyloid and tau deposition, astrogliosis, synapse function and impairment, combined with cognitive tests, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma biomarkers and MRI. We expect the applicant to take an active role in applying advanced imaging methods for processing and evaluating PET, MRI imaging data, performing statistical analyses, and preparing scientific manuscripts under supervision. The group provides excellent training opportunities in an international working environment, national and international collaborations, and possibilities for publishing articles in high-impact journals.
The candidate should have got a PhD degree in medicine, neuroscience, psychology or a related field. We seek a person with hand-on experience in neuroimaging and good statistical knowledge. Social and collaborative skills are very important since the applicant will work with other members of the research team and collaborators. Fluency in both written and spoken English is a requirement.
Meritorious:
* Documented experience within Alzheimer’s disease or other neurodegenerative diseases.
* Documented experience with software for neuroimaging data processing (i.e., SPM, Freesurfer, FSL) and statistical analyses (i.e., SPSS, R).
* Documented experience of analyzing clinical data.
* Documented scripting experience (i.e., Matlab, R).
