About this position
Linköping University is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to study the role of the cerebellum in cognition and motor function through temporal interference stimulation (TIS) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
The project is based in Kajsa Igelström’s research group within the Division of Cell and Neurobiology, Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences. The group studies neurodevelopmental variation, with particular attention to connections among sensory, motor, and social dimensions and the brain circuits that support them.
The postdoctoral researcher will lead sub-studies mapping functional nodes of the cerebellum using TIS and fMRI. The work spans protocol development, individualized stimulation modelling, human data collection, analysis, and publication. The project combines non-invasive deep-brain stimulation with a research-dedicated 3T MRI scanner at the Center for Medical Image Science and Visualization (CMIV).
The researcher will be the first postdoctoral researcher working on this platform in the group, with direct access to newly installed MRI-compatible stimulation equipment, the principal investigator, and international methods partners. Collaborations include computational modelling support from the IT’IS Foundation and TI Solutions in Zurich and MRI-methodology collaboration with Princeton University.
The position is embedded in an active neuroscience environment with weekly laboratory meetings, joint seminars with the Social Behavior and Interaction Group, and collaborations across neuroscience, clinical, engineering, and medical research. The researcher will also contribute to supervision of doctoral and master’s students and may develop independent research questions within the project’s framework.

What's required
Applicants must hold a doctoral degree, or an equivalent foreign degree, awarded no later than the employment decision and normally no more than three years before the application deadline. The doctoral degree must be from an institution other than Linköping University and should be in neuroscience, psychology, medicine, biomedical engineering, physics, or a related field. Applicants need documented experience with experimental human research using fMRI or non-invasive brain stimulation, good programming and data-analysis skills in tools such as Python, MATLAB, or R, good statistical knowledge, excellent spoken and written English, and experience independently planning and conducting studies from ethics approval through publication. Experience in neuroimaging and brain stimulation, computational electric-field modelling, cerebellar function, cognitive or social neuroscience, neurodevelopmental conditions, or motor coordination is advantageous. Swedish is advantageous but not required. Candidates should be independent, careful, curious, collaborative, and able to communicate clearly.
How to apply
Apply through the online Apply button/application portal by 30 November 2026. Attach selected research publications electronically in PDF or Word format using the application template; publications that cannot be submitted electronically must be mailed in triplicate to the University Registrar.
