About this position
Postdoctoral Scholarship in Experimental Systems Neuroscience at Karolinska Institutet / SciLifeLab in Sweden.
The Stagkourakis Lab is recruiting a highly independent postdoctoral researcher to join a technically advanced systems neuroscience program focused on the neural control of survival and homeostatic behaviors, including aggression, fear, and feeding. The lab works with large-scale in vivo electrophysiology, Neuropixels, custom high-channel silicon probes, miniscope imaging, two-photon microscopy, causal perturbations, and quantitative analysis in freely moving mice.
Ideal candidates should have strong hands-on experience in at least one core experimental domain: stereotaxic surgery in mice with viral injections/implantations, large-scale electrophysiology, in vivo imaging, or RNA sequencing/spatial transcriptomics. The post also values independence, complex experimental setup skills, and MATLAB or Python data analysis. Experience with behavioral paradigm design, Arduino, Bonsai, DataJoint, machine learning, scRNA-seq, and collaborative experimental/computational work is advantageous.
This is a scholarship-based postdoctoral position for foreign researchers only. Applicants must hold a doctorate or equivalent by the start date. The scholarship is tax free, awarded for 12 months at a time, and paid in six-month installments. The position is based in Solna.
To apply, submit a CV, publication list, cover letter, one-page summary of current work, and two or more reference letters via the Varbi recruitment system. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis; the last application date is 2026-09-30.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
How to apply
Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
