Enric Llorens

Karolinska Institutet’s Llorens laboratory is recruiting for multiple openings in regulatory genomics , CNS regeneration , single-cell and spatial genomics , comparative genomics , and deep learning / machine learning applied to neural repair and gene regulation. The post highlights three opportunities: a Computational Postdoc focused on comparative genomics, GRN inference, and deep learning; a Wet lab Postdoc focused on cross-species regenerative biology; and a Computational Research Assistant working on genomics and deep learning for gene therapy projects linked to CNS disease. The linked KI vacancies also include a Postdoctoral studies in regulatory genomics in neuroscience scholarship and a Postdoctoral position in CNS regeneration . The lab studies how gene expression regulation can be repurposed for regeneration in the mammalian central nervous system. Projects use glial biology, stem cell biology, molecular engineering, animal models, single-cell multiomics, spatial genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, and sequence-to-function modelling to understand injury response and repair mechanisms. The lab is based in the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm/Solna, Sweden. Funding varies by opening. The scholarship-based postdoctoral opportunity is tax free and paid in 12-month blocks, with a maximum of two years within a four-year period after the doctorate. The employment-based postdoctoral and research assistant roles are full-time positions with salary; no stipend amount is stated in the post. Eligibility differs by role. The scholarship requires a foreign researcher coming to Sweden and a completed doctorate or equivalent before the start date. The postdoctoral employment requires a PhD or equivalent, with recent completion advantageous. The research assistant role requires an MSc in bioinformatics, computational biology, biotechnology, or a related field, plus experience with single-cell/spatial genomics and R/Python. Applications are submitted through the Varbi recruitment system. The deadline stated in the post and KI vacancies is 31 August 2026 . Required materials include a CV/resumé, publication list, references, and a summary of current work; some openings also request a motivation letter or application-form responses.
