The successful applicant will be involved in neuroimaging analyses of a 5-year longitudinal study (currently in year 4) of 1200 healthy elderly individuals (aged 70-85) to determine neuronal markers in the healthy state which predict subsequent development of mild cognitive impairment and dementia.

In addition, the Reina Sofia Alzheimer's Centre offers:

- A research-dedicated MRI facility attached to a 140-bed residence for patients with Alzheimer’s disease.
- A brain-bank providing post-mortem histopathological confirmation of dementia diagnosis for patients scanned pre-mortem.
- Ex-vivo MRI scanning.

A strong background in neuroimaging techniques is required. Applicants must have a PhD in neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, biomedical engineering, neuropsychology or related field. Experience in dementia research is a plus. Spanish language skills are NOT required.

Competitive annual salary depending on experience.
