The Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) a cutting-edge research center based in Barcelona, is looking for a Project Manager in Research . We have an exciting full-time, development opportunity for a new Project Manager in Research to join our Projects Office in Barcelona.
His/her role will be to oversee and manage the research projects of the research lines assigned, liaising with other sites and institutions across Spain and Europe.
This position is supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness within the “Acciones de dinamización Europa Redes y Gestores” and/or Severo Ochoa Centres of Excellence Initiative.
Los denominados LipoBots, que podrían utilizarse en aplicaciones médicas. Los LipoBots son capaces de autopropulsarse y de conservar su funcionalidad enzimática en condiciones parecidas a las del estómago humano.
El hallazgo podría allanar el camino para el desarrollo de terapias altamente dirigidas contra una serie de enfermedades.
Ahora, Riccardo Levato, ex investigador del IBEC, ha sido galardonado con una beca “ERC starting grant” en UMC Utrecht para desarrollar su proyecto denominado “VOLUME-BIO”.
El investigador principal, José Antonio del Río, ha recibido financiación de la convocatoria «CaixaHealath» de «la Caixa» para seguir avanzando en la lucha contra el Alzheimer.

The Synthetic, Perceptive, Emotive and Cognitive Systems (SPECS) group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) is offering a Postdoctoral position in NeuroRobotics. The successful candidate will lead SPECS’ NeuroRobotics lab and drive the research on Cognitive Architectures in the context of the Distributed Adaptive Control theory of mind and brain that SPECS-lab has been elaborating over many years [1, 2, 3, 4].
We are seeking a candidate to advance the DAC Architecture towards a whole brain implementation, which maps this cognitive architecture to the main structures of the mammalian brain. We will test these models on robots both targeting rodents level tasks such as foraging and navigation but also, we want to look at human level tasks such as social interaction and motor rehabilitation. The candidate will work directly with the director of SPECS-lab, ICREA Professor Dr. Paul Verschure.

The The Biosensors for Bioengineering Group group at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) is looking for a laboratory technician to work on the development of radiofrequency coils for magnetic resonance to study metabolism on tissue engineered organ-on-a-chip systems.
The contract will be within the framework of the EU FET Open project “Benchtop NMR spectrometer for lab-on-a-chip” (https://blocproject.eu), whose objective is the development of non-invasive assays based on hyperpolarized magnetic resonance (MR) to study real-time metabolism on tissue engineered organ-on-a-chip systems.
