PhD studentship at Trinity College Dublin in the Naci Lab at the Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience, focused on advanced neuroimaging biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease in mid-life, asymptomatic individuals. The project is part of the PREVENT study and examines how established and novel pre-clinical neuroimaging markers of AD perform in people at high- versus low-risk for late-life Alzheimer’s disease. The student will also study how changes in neuroimaging biomarkers interact with clinica...

About this position
Nordic Brain Network at Karolinska Institutet is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to contribute to research on sex differences in dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The project is based within the division of Clinical Geriatrics at the Center for Alzheimer Research, Department of Neurobiology, Care Science and Society (NVS), and is led in the Nordic Brain Network by Professor Miia Kivipelto, with day-to-day supervision by Associate Professor Shireen Sindi.
The work focuses on hormonal and reproductive factors, including hormonal therapies, reproductive history, and menopause, and how these relate to Alzheimer’s disease risk and progression. The project also examines interactions with other dementia risk factors, such as sleep disturbances and chronic stress, while seeking to uncover underlying biological mechanisms.
The research integrates multiple types of data, including neuroimaging, Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma, genetic factors, and other relevant biological markers. The successful candidate will work with longitudinal population-based cohorts, clinical cohorts, and national register data to address questions about disease mechanisms, risk factors, and personalised prevention.
As part of a multidisciplinary and international research environment, the postdoctoral researcher will contribute across the full research process: developing research questions, designing studies, performing analyses, interpreting results, and publishing findings. The role also includes literature reviews, data management and harmonisation, manuscript preparation, presentations at scientific meetings, and collaboration with researchers across institutions and disciplines.
The Nordic Brain Network is active in international collaborations and includes team members based at Karolinska Institutet in Solna, Karolinska University Hospital, and partner sites in Finland, the UK, Sweden, and the US. The position offers opportunities to develop independent research ideas and contribute to mentoring and supervision within the team.
Funding details
A full-time postdoctoral position for two years with the possibility of extension; individual and differentiated salary setting applies.
What's required
A PhD or equivalent foreign degree is required by the time of the employment decision, with completion within the last three years considered an advantage. The successful candidate should hold a PhD in neuroepidemiology, medical sciences, or a closely related field, and have strong statistical and analytical skills with demonstrated experience in independently managing and analysing complex datasets, including data cleaning, data management, and advanced statistical analyses. Experience in ageing, cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, sex differences, sleep disturbances, chronic stress, biomarker data, neuroimaging, or fluid-based biomarkers is advantageous. Excellent written and spoken English is required, and knowledge of Swedish is an advantage. Strong organisational, project management, interpersonal, and communication skills are expected, along with the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
How to apply
Submit the application through the Varbi recruitment system. Include a PhD certificate, a complete CV with thesis and academic details, a complete list of publications, and a summary of current work (maximum one page).
