About this position

Karolinska Institutet (KI) in Sweden is recruiting 1-2 postdoctoral researchers for the KI Psychiatric Genomics Institute (KI-PGI) at the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, campus Solna, Stockholm.

The project sits at the intersection of psychiatric genomics, data science, psychiatric epidemiology, biostatistics, genetics, and public health. The research aims to understand the development, progression, and outcomes of psychiatric disorders by integrating large-scale epidemiological, clinical, genomic, and health-register data. Methods mentioned include statistical modelling, machine learning, genetic epidemiology, GWAS, PRS analyses, and family-based study designs.

The positions are part of an NIH-funded, full-time, fixed-term appointment for two years with the possibility of extension. The work environment is highly collaborative and includes interaction with the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium and Nordic collaborators. The postdoctoral researchers will contribute to data management, analysis, interpretation, manuscript preparation, and presentation of findings.

Eligibility requires a PhD or equivalent degree in epidemiology, public health, biostatistics, data science, genetics, psychiatry, or a related field. Strong programming skills in R, Python, SAS, Stata, or similar are expected, along with experience in large and complex datasets, reproducible research, and scientific writing. Experience with psychiatric epidemiology, Swedish national registers, UK Biobank, Linux/SQL/Bash, machine learning, prediction modelling, and causal inference is an advantage.

Application materials must be submitted in English or Swedish via the Varbi recruitment system. Required documents include a PhD certificate, a complete CV/resumé, a publication list, and a one-page summary of current work. Deadline: 2026-10-30.

Funding details

1-2 full-time postdoctoral positions funded by NIH. Fixed-term appointment for two years with possibility of extension. Salary is set individually according to KI collective agreements.

What's required

A PhD or equivalent foreign degree is required by the time of the employment decision. Applicants should have a PhD in epidemiology, public health, biostatistics, data science, genetics, psychiatry, or a related field, plus documented independent research experience. Required experience includes population-based research with large longitudinal health data, electronic health records, clinical data, or other routinely collected healthcare data; advanced epidemiological and statistical methods; statistical genetics/genomics methods such as GWAS, PRS, and family-based designs; strong programming and data management skills in R, Python, SAS, Stata, or similar; reproducible research and statistical modelling; excellent English communication and scientific writing; good organization and project management. Experience in psychiatric epidemiology, Swedish national registers, UK Biobank, Linux/SQL/Bash, machine learning, prediction modelling, causal inference, and multidisciplinary collaboration is meritorious.
