About this position
At Karolinska Institutet, the Department of Clinical Science, Intervention and Technology (CLINTEC) hosts translational research at the Ear, Nose and Throat unit with a focus on immunology and inflammation in head and neck cancer, asthma, and airway allergy. The work is closely integrated with the ENT clinic at Karolinska University Hospital, creating a clinically anchored research setting with access to both surgical and laboratory environments.
The postdoctoral researcher will join the group led by Professor Lars Olaf Cardell and take an active role across the full research workflow. The position combines study planning, experimental work, data analysis, statistical processing, and scientific writing. A central part of the role is to work both in the operating theatre and in the research laboratory, supporting the generation and interpretation of clinically relevant research data.
The project sits at the intersection of clinical ENT medicine and immunological research, with particular attention to translational questions in cancer and inflammatory disease. The postdoctoral researcher is expected to contribute to manuscripts for publication and present findings at national and international meetings, within a research group embedded in one of Sweden’s leading medical universities.
The environment is described as creative, international, and collaborative, with strong links between research, healthcare, and medical education. The position is time-limited for two years and is based in Flemingsberg at the Ear, Nose and Throat unit.
