About this position
The postdoctoral project is hosted by the Katajisto laboratory at Karolinska Institutet in Solna, Sweden. The lab studies how stem cell-intrinsic and stem cell-extrinsic mechanisms shape tissue renewal capacity and contribute to the functional decline associated with aging.
This position centers on developing approaches and model systems to study cellular memory in tissue stem cells. The successful candidate will use these systems to identify the kinds of challenges that build cellular memories and to investigate how these memories influence tissue renewal and repair in vivo.
The research environment emphasizes cellular metabolism, asymmetric cell division, and multiple levels of cell-cell interaction. The project sits within a medical research setting that connects basic stem cell biology with questions of tissue maintenance and aging, offering a collaborative environment with broad expertise across medicine and health.
The lab is part of one of the world’s leading medical universities and a state university environment with strong cross-disciplinary interaction and close ties to healthcare.

What's required
A PhD or a foreign degree deemed equivalent to a Swedish PhD is required by the employment decision date. Completion of the doctoral degree within the last three years is considered an advantage, though earlier completion may be accepted for special reasons. The applicant should have expertise in organoid technology and/or epigenomic profiling. Experience with experimental mouse models, advanced microscopy, and cell sorting (FACS) is considered a merit. Previous research relevant to the laboratory’s research areas, as well as strong collaboration and communication skills, is also considered a merit.
How to apply
Submit the application through the Varbi recruitment system. Include the PhD certificate, a complete CV with thesis and academic details, a complete list of publications, and a summary of current work of no more than one page.
