About this position
This postdoctoral position is based in Kajsa Igelström’s research group in the Division of Cell and Neurobiology at Linköping University. The group studies developmental neurobiological variation, with particular interest in how sensory, motor, and social dimensions relate to each other and how specific brain circuits contribute to these processes.
The project focuses on the cerebellum’s role in cognition and motor control. The postdoc will work with temporal interference stimulation (TIS), a new non-invasive brain stimulation approach designed to reach deep brain structures without surgery, together with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at the Center for Medical Image Science and Visualization (CMIV). The advert highlights that MR-compatible stimulation equipment will be installed at CMIV in autumn 2026, creating one of the first setups of this kind worldwide.
The work spans the full research pipeline: developing stimulation protocols, creating individualized stimulation models, collecting and analysing data, and publishing results. The postdoc will also contribute to supervision of doctoral and student researchers involved in the project and is expected to develop independent research questions within the project framework over time.
The position offers a highly collaborative environment with direct access to the research infrastructure and close interaction with international methodological partners, including support for computational modelling and MRI methodology. The project is embedded in an active neuroscience setting with regular lab meetings and seminars, and data collection takes place at CMIV in close proximity to the university hospital.
The appointment is for three years full-time, with possible funded research stay abroad and additional project support later in the appointment.

What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD or an equivalent foreign degree recognized as doctoral level, and the degree must be completed no later than the appointment decision and within three years before the application deadline unless special circumstances apply. The applicant must have earned the doctorate at a university other than Linköping University. Required qualifications include a PhD in neuroscience, psychology, medicine, biomedical engineering, physics, or a related field; documented experience in experimental human research with functional brain imaging (fMRI) or non-invasive brain stimulation (e.g., TMS or tES); strong programming and data analysis skills such as Python, MATLAB or R; good knowledge of statistics; and excellent spoken and written English. Experience independently planning and conducting studies from ethics approval to publication is expected. Merits include experience with both neuroimaging and brain stimulation, computational modeling of electric fields in the brain (e.g., SimNIBS or Sim4Life), cerebellar function, cognitive or social neuroscience, and research on neuropsychiatric conditions or motor function. Swedish language skills are meritorious but not required.
