About this position
Postdoctoral Scholarship in Renal Epidemiology at Karolinska Institutet (Location: Flemingsberg, Sweden).
This opportunity is hosted by the Division of Renal Medicine within CLINTEC and focuses on interdisciplinary research at the intersection of renal epidemiology, biostatistics, observational studies, clinical prediction modelling, and real-world data analysis. The successful postdoctoral researcher will work with patients with chronic kidney disease using the Swedish Renal Registry and other well-characterised clinical cohorts, including biopsy material, biomarkers, and patient-reported outcomes.
Research tasks include developing study protocols and statistical analysis plans, conducting registry-based observational studies, analysing multi-omics data and imaging-derived features from PET, CT, MRI, and ultrasound, applying machine-learning and AI-based methods, performing advanced statistical analyses including target trial emulation, and writing manuscripts and conference presentations.
Eligibility highlights: applicants must be foreign researchers coming to Sweden for postdoctoral education; they must hold a doctoral degree or equivalent in biostatistics, epidemiology, public health, data science, or a related field. Strong experience in real-world clinical data analysis, survival analysis, reproducible workflows, and proficiency in R and/or Python are required. Experience with multi-omics, radiomics, machine learning, international collaboration, and English scientific communication is highly desirable.
Funding: scholarship-based support, tax free, granted for twelve months at a time and paid in six-month instalments. The scholarship may be awarded for up to two years within a four-year post-PhD window.
Application window: apply by 5 November 2026 via the Varbi recruitment system. Required documents include a complete CV, publication list, and a one-page summary of current work.
