España Teaching and Research Staff A tiempo completo

The laboratory of **Synaptic Plasticity** (**_Spine Lab_**) lead by Dr. Miquel Bosch at the **International University of Catalonia** (**UIC-Barcelona**, Spain) is looking for a **POSTDOC** to join our research group, also associated to the** Institute of Neurosciences** of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (**UAB**), Spain.

**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.

The postdoc will join a stimulating scientific and university environment, with young scientists, and new and well equipped facilities (Basic Sciences Dept., UIC; Sant Cugat del Vallès; and technology facilities at Inc-UAB, Bellaterra, Barcelona, and at PRBB-UPF, Barcelona). 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.
