About this position

At Karolinska Institutet’s Unit of Occupational Medicine, Institute of Environmental Medicine, this postdoctoral role sits at the intersection of occupational epidemiology, environmental epidemiology, climate research, and exposure assessment. The successful candidate will contribute to research on how climate-related workplace exposures affect human health, with particular attention to heat, cold, and other climate-linked conditions in relation to cardiovascular and cardiorespiratory outcomes.

The position is embedded in two connected projects: a Swedish Formas-funded study focused on occupational heat and cold exposure and cardiovascular disease, and the European U-PATH project, which examines climate-related exposures in both residential and occupational settings. A major part of the work involves analysis of large Swedish register-based datasets, application and further development of occupational job-exposure matrices, integration of occupational and residential exposure information, and longitudinal exposure-response analyses.

The postdoctoral researcher will collaborate with researchers in epidemiology, occupational hygiene, exposure assessment, and climate-health research. The role also includes participation in field studies at Swedish workplaces, including planning and conducting exposure measurements and helping collect and process exposure and physiological data. These measurements will support validation and refinement of occupational exposure assessment methods and help examine individual responses to heat and cold.

The research environment is described as dynamic, international, and multidisciplinary, with access to unique Swedish register resources and strong collaborations across national and international networks. The position is based in Solna within the research group led by Jenny Selander.

Funding details

A Swedish Formas-funded project and the European U-PATH project; salary is set according to KI collective agreements RALS and RALS-T.

What's required

A PhD or a foreign degree deemed equivalent to a Swedish PhD is required and must be completed by the time of the employment decision. Completion of the doctoral degree within the last three years is considered an advantage, although earlier completion may be accepted for special reasons. Documented experience in epidemiological research and statistical analysis is required, preferably within occupational or environmental epidemiology. Experience managing and analysing large epidemiological datasets is an advantage. Good written and spoken English skills are required. Personal suitability, scientific curiosity, independence, and good collaborative skills are highly valued.

How to apply

Prepare an English or Swedish application including a PhD certificate, a complete CV with thesis details and academic record, a complete publication list, and a summary of current work no longer than one page. Submit the application through the Varbi recruitment system before the deadline.
