About this position
This postdoctoral position is based in the Hagström research group at Karolinska Institutet and focuses on clinical and epidemiological research in liver diseases, with particular emphasis on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The project uses unique, detailed data from multiple cohorts, combining granular clinical information on biomarkers and treatments with large nationwide register resources.
The main scientific aim is to advance understanding of the bidirectional cardio-hepatic relationship. The postdoc will generate new evidence on how liver and heart diseases are linked and help improve identification of individuals at risk of end-stage liver disease. By integrating clinical data with population-based resources and applying advanced epidemiological and biostatistical methods, the work is intended to support better risk stratification, earlier detection, and more targeted prevention and treatment.
The research environment is interdisciplinary and internationally connected, bringing together clinicians, epidemiologists, biostatisticians, and research nurses. The role offers opportunities to contribute to high-quality medical research, participate in research forums, and, for interested candidates, engage in teaching. The position is located at the Department of Medicine, Huddinge, and is described as part of an inclusive workplace that encourages collaborative departmental and interdisciplinary research.
The appointment is for two years with the possibility of extension.
