About this position
Karolinska Institutet is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow in Environmental Physiology within the Division of Environmental Physiology at the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology in Stockholm, Sweden.
The project focuses on experimental human studies examining physiological responses to environmental and operational stressors, including altered ambient pressure, acceleration, temperature variation, sleep deprivation, fatigue, hypobaric and hyperbaric exposures, and decompression strain. The research sits at the intersection of human performance, aviation physiology, diving medicine, cardiovascular physiology, and autonomic regulation.
The successful candidate will work primarily at the Campus Solna laboratories and may also participate in field-based experimental studies. Responsibilities include experimental planning and execution, data collection and analysis, interpretation of results, manuscript preparation, lab management, undergraduate teaching, and supervision of master’s and doctoral students.
Eligibility highlights: a PhD in environmental physiology or a closely related field, or equivalent scientific competence by the end of the application period; documented experience with human physiological experiments; continuous cardiovascular monitoring; HRV and baroreflex analysis; echocardiography and vascular ultrasound; and exercise physiology methods such as maximal oxygen uptake testing. English fluency is required, while Swedish is advantageous. Experience in aviation/decompression physiology, cardiac imaging, venous gas emboli detection, sleep deprivation/fatigue physiology, and human biological sample handling is considered beneficial.
Funding and appointment: this is a full-time temporary postdoctoral position for 1 year with potential prolongation. Karolinska Institutet notes standard employee benefits, including holiday, occupational pension, gym access, and medical care reimbursements. No stipend amount is stated.
Application window: applications are due by 20 August 2026 and must be submitted through the Varbi recruitment system. Required documents include a CV, publication list, one-page research summary, motivation letter, and contact information for at least two academic references.
Contacts: Antonis Elia (Assistant Professor) and Gunnar Schulte (Professor) are listed as contacts for the position.
Funding details
Temporary postdoctoral position for 1 year with potential for prolongation. Full-time employment at Karolinska Institutet with standard employee benefits; salary listed as monthly salary. No stipend amount or tuition funding is mentioned.
What's required
Applicants should have a PhD in environmental physiology or a closely related discipline, or equivalent scientific competence by the end of the application period. Required experience includes conducting human physiological experiments in laboratory and/or field settings, continuous cardiovascular monitoring (including beat-to-beat blood pressure and impedance cardiography), cardiovascular signal analysis such as HRV and baroreflex sensitivity, echocardiography and vascular ultrasound, and exercise physiology methods including maximal oxygen uptake testing. Fluency in spoken and written English is required; Swedish is advantageous. Experience in aviation or decompression physiology, cardiac imaging or subclavian vascular ultrasound for venous gas emboli detection, sleep deprivation/fatigue physiology, and handling human biological material is considered advantageous.
