**Position**

The postdoc will be hired through a 2-year contract based on a project from “**La Marató TV3**” Foundation on **Mental Health**, jointly awarded to Andrés Ozaita Lab at Pompeu Fabra University (UPF, Barcelona) and Bosch Lab at UIC-Barcelona.

We offer >27,000 EUR/year gross **salary**, for 2 years.

No teaching responsabilities are associated to this position.

**Skills/Qualifications**

Research project. The project will focus on the validation of extracelular vesicles (EV) as novel biomarkers for neuropsychiatric diseases, such as the Fragile X syndrome, the most common inherited form of the autism spectrum disorders. We will study the transcriptome signatures carried by neuron-derived EVs (exosomes) from animal models of these diseases. We will test pharmaceutical therapies to revert the cellular symptoms and will study if we can use EVs to monitor this reversion. We will use organotypic brain tissue cultures, gene manipulation techniques, fluorescent confocal microscopy, calcium imaging, and transgenic animal models of psychiatric diseases.
