About this position
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 heterogeneity in Alzheimer’s disease pathology in living humans. The team has already identified major AD subtypes and is now extending that work through multi-omics data, postmortem histopathology, and very large tau-PET imaging datasets. The successful candidate will help build and validate a spatiotemporal model of tau spread across multiple datasets and modalities, with a strong focus on large-scale data processing and analysis.
The position sits within a multidisciplinary environment that brings together neuroscientists, statisticians, biologists, and engineers. The research group is led by Dr. Jacob Vogel and is based at the Biomedical Center (BMC) in Lund. The lab emphasizes a positive, supportive, and inclusive research culture, with opportunities for scientific development and some pedagogical experience.
The role is research-intensive and includes processing and analyzing large-scale tau-PET data, adapting existing analysis pipelines, and working with new data from the group’s ongoing studies. International travel may also be part of the position to support training and career development.

What's required
Applicants must hold a doctoral degree or equivalent foreign degree in engineering, neuroscience, statistics, quantitative biology, physics, mathematics, or a related discipline, and the doctoral defence must have been passed no later than the date on which the appointment decision is made. Required qualifications include the ability to develop and conduct high-quality research, pedagogic skills, fluency in Python and/or R, experience with curation, preprocessing and/or analysis of neuroimaging data, excellent English communication skills in speaking and writing, high intrinsic motivation, experience in neurodegenerative disease research, direct experience with tau-PET analysis, and experience with large sample sizes (N>2000). Preference is given to applicants who graduated no more than three years before the closing date, have a strong publication track record, are familiar with Git and GitHub, and can use Linux-based high-performance parallel computing systems.
How to apply
