The Neurodegenerative Research group at Lund University investigates the biological processes underlying Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders using large, richly phenotyped human datasets. The group combines neuroimaging, biomarker measures, and neuropsychological testing from patients and cognitively unimpaired volunteers, then applies advanced statistical approaches to model aging- and disease-related processes. This postdoctoral project is centered on understanding hetero...

About this position

This postdoctoral project is based in the Translational Molecular Imaging Lab at Karolinska Institutet, located at KI Campus Flemingsberg near Karolinska University Hospital in the Division of Clinical Geriatrics, Department of Neurobiology, Care Sciences and Society.

The research focuses on advanced molecular brain imaging in neurodegenerative disease, especially Alzheimer’s disease and related proteinopathies. The lab develops and characterizes new PET tracer molecules to better map pathological changes long before memory symptoms appear, with the longer-term goal of supporting more precise therapeutic targeting in disease-modifying and personalized medicine approaches.

The successful candidate will work with multi-tracer in vivo PET studies and combine imaging with MRI, cognitive testing, cerebrospinal fluid and plasma biomarkers. The project addresses key pathological processes such as amyloid and tau deposition, astrogliosis, synaptic impairment, and neuroinflammatory interactions in the brain and biofluids.

In practice, the role involves processing and evaluating PET and MRI data, integrating imaging with fluid biomarker data, carrying out statistical analyses, preparing scientific manuscripts, presenting results at international congresses, and contributing to publications in peer-reviewed journals. The group emphasizes an international, collaborative environment with strong training opportunities, national and international collaborations, and active seminar and journal club participation.

The position is hosted within a research environment that combines clinical geriatrics, neurobiology, and translational molecular imaging, with a clear focus on understanding neurodegenerative mechanisms through advanced imaging and biomarker approaches.

What's required

A PhD or equivalent foreign degree deemed equivalent to a Swedish PhD is required by the time of the employment decision. The candidate should have a PhD in medicine, neuroscience, psychology or a related field, with hands-on experience in neuroimaging, good statistical knowledge, and a strong publication record. Fluency in both written and spoken English is required. Experience in Alzheimer’s disease or other neurodegenerative diseases, neuroimaging software such as SPM, Freesurfer and FSL, statistical tools such as SPSS and R, clinical data analysis of PET and MRI images, scripting in Matlab or R, statistical modeling, machine learning, and obtaining competitive research funding are meritorious. Social and collaborative skills are important, including work with team members and supervision of student trainees.

How to apply

Prepare the required documents in English or Swedish: PhD certificate, complete resumé, complete publication list, and a summary of current work of no more than one page. Submit the application through the Varbi recruitment system using the advertised application link.
