Hannes Hagström

The Hagström research group at Karolinska Institutet is seeking 1–2 postdoctoral researchers in epidemiology or biostatistics, with a focus on liver diseases, particularly metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The group is based at the Department of Medicine, Huddinge, and offers a collaborative, interdisciplinary, and international research environment. The research aims to improve early identification and risk reduction for severe liver disease, leveraging unique datasets and advanced statistical methods. Applicants should have expertise in prediction models, biomarker evaluation, causal inference, longitudinal methods, survival analysis, regression models, or machine learning. Experience with the Swedish healthcare system and register data is advantageous. The position is a two-year, full-time, fixed-term appointment, with the possibility of extension, and is fully funded by Karolinska Institutet, a leading global medical university. The research group values independence, collaboration, and curiosity, and offers opportunities for teaching and participation in various research forums. Eligibility requires a PhD in a relevant field, ideally completed within the last three years, strong English communication skills, and proficiency in statistical software such as R, SAS, or STATA. Applicants should submit a PhD certificate, resumé, publication list, and a summary of current work via the Varbi recruitment system by January 10, 2026.
