About this position

Postdoctoral opportunity at Karolinska Institutet’s Department of Medicine, Huddinge in the research group led by Professor Maria Eriksson.

The project investigates the role and functional impact of somatic mutations in ageing and age-associated diseases, with a particular focus on vascular tissue and cardiovascular disease. Using patient samples, animal models and state-of-the-art genomic technologies, including single-cell approaches, the group aims to uncover disease-relevant mechanisms and better understand how somatic variation contributes to clonal dynamics and tissue ageing.

You will work within an interdisciplinary research environment that is part of the Integrative Cardiovascular, Cancer and Ageing Research Unit (ICCA). The unit connects clinical and basic research across cardiology, vascular biology, tumour genetics, cancer biology and ageing, creating a collaborative setting for translational research and cross-field scientific exchange.

In this role, you will investigate clonal architecture in human vascular tissue and develop advanced mouse models using lineage tracing to follow the fate and functional consequences of mutated cells. The work combines molecular biology, mouse phenotyping and advanced omics approaches, and requires independent experimental planning, hands-on laboratory research and data analysis. The position is offered in a creative and inspiring research environment at one of the world’s leading medical universities.

The appointment is for two years with the possibility of extension.

What's required

Applicants must have a PhD or an equivalent foreign degree that qualifies as a Swedish PhD, and this requirement must be met by the time of the employment decision. A strong background in molecular biology, molecular genetics, or a closely related field is required, together with a strong scientific publication record. Previous experience working with human samples, inducible mouse models, and advanced genomic technologies is required. Excellent written and spoken English is required. Experience in vascular biology, lineage tracing using Confetti or similar reporter systems, and rare-event detection is considered an advantage. Completion of the doctorate within the last three years is considered an advantage, though earlier completion may be accepted for special reasons.

How to apply

Prepare the application documents in English or Swedish, including a PhD certificate, complete résumé, complete publication list, and a summary of current work (maximum one page). Submit the application through the Varbi recruitment system using the provided application link.
