About this position

This postdoctoral position in single cell genomics is offered in the lab of Professor Jens Hjerling-Leffler at the Division of Molecular Neurobiology, Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics, Karolinska Institutet. The Hjerling-Leffler group investigates how adolescent development of the nervous system, at the cellular level, influences the etiology of psychiatric disorders. The research combines transcriptomic data, large-scale human genetics, and analysis of postmortem samples and mouse models to understand biological convergence and the cellular consequences of polygenic heritability in Schizophrenia.

The lab provides a creative, friendly, and inclusive environment, supporting both scientific discovery and personal career development. The successful candidate will lead projects involving the analysis of large functional genomic datasets and integration with genetic and clinical outcome data. Responsibilities include data analysis, visualization, and development of new computational methods for processing and analyzing high-dimensional omics data. Collaboration with experimental researchers and participation in international consortia are integral to the role.

Applicants must have a PhD or equivalent in bioinformatics, genetics, neuroscience, computational biology, mathematics, or statistics. Strong programming skills in R and/or Python, proficiency in English, and a proven track record in analyzing high-dimensional data and publishing scientific work are required. Additional merits include experience with LINUX/UNIX, statistics for high-dimensional data, epigenetic and NGS data analysis, interdisciplinary projects, and publicly available code repositories.

Karolinska Institutet is a leading medical university, offering a stimulating research environment with broad expertise and opportunities for collaboration across medicine and health sciences. The position is full-time, temporary, and based in Solna, Sweden. Employees benefit from the university's collective agreement.

To apply, submit your application via the Varbi recruitment system, including your PhD certificate, resumé, publication list, and a summary of current work. The deadline for applications is April 14, 2026.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD or a foreign degree equivalent to a Swedish PhD in relevant fields such as bioinformatics, genetics, neuroscience, computational biology, mathematics, or statistics. Completion of the doctoral degree within the last three years is advantageous, but earlier completion may be considered for special reasons. Strong programming skills in R and/or Python, demonstrated ability to analyze high-dimensional data, and documented scientific publications in relevant fields are required. Candidates should be proficient in written and spoken English. Additional merits include prior involvement in interdisciplinary projects, knowledge of LINUX/UNIX command line, strong understanding of statistics for high-dimensional data, experience analyzing epigenetic and NGS data, and publicly available code (e.g., GitHub).
