About this position
Karolinska Institutet is advertising a postdoctoral scholarship in system neuroscience with a focus on motivated behaviors, decision-making, and circuit dysfunction in stress and mood disorders. The position is in the Meletis laboratory in the Department of Neuroscience, Solna/Biomedicum, Sweden.
The project centers on the functional investigation of genetically defined neuron subtypes and neural circuits in the basal ganglia, hypothalamus, and lateral habenula. Methods include in vivo imaging, electrophysiology (including Neuropixels), optogenetics, sophisticated behavioral paradigms in freely moving and head-fixed mice, and analysis built on single-cell RNA-seq and monosynaptic rabies tracing.
The post is aimed at researchers with a strong background in circuit/systems neuroscience, plus quantitative, statistical, and programming skills. Applicants must have a PhD (or equivalent) and at least one first-author paper. The scholarship is specifically for foreign researchers who will come to Sweden for postdoctoral training; people already resident in Sweden or who have completed academic education in Sweden are not eligible.
Funding is provided as a tax-free scholarship, awarded for 12 months at a time and paid in six-month installments. The application must include a CV, publication list, and a one-page summary of current work, and must be submitted through the Varbi recruitment system.
Deadline: 2026-05-27.
