About this position
Karolinska Institutet is advertising two postdoctoral scholarship positions in the research group of Anna Marseglia within the Westman neuroimaging group. The projects are centered on vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID), cognitive aging, resilience, social health, sex differences, proteomics, and multimodal data integration.
Postdoc 1: Sex differences in social health, cognition and resilience. This project uses brain MRI markers, cognition, biomarkers, and rich life-course data from Nordic aging cohorts and the UK Biobank to study socio-cultural determinants of late-life cognitive trajectories and vulnerability to dementia. Strong skills in longitudinal modeling and R are emphasized.
Postdoc 2: Molecular signatures of VCID. This project focuses on proteomic and multi-omics analyses to identify molecular pathways and biomarkers of vascular cognitive impairment, using multimodal longitudinal datasets including Swedish aging cohorts and the UK Biobank. Experience with proteomics, statistical modeling, and programming is important.
Eligibility highlights: applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent doctorate by the start date and must be foreign researchers for scholarship eligibility. Relevant backgrounds include epidemiology, biostatistics, public health, psychology, neuroscience, sociology, bioinformatics, computational biology, systems biology, data science, or related fields. Experience with large-scale datasets, longitudinal methods, and English communication is required; UK Biobank experience is a plus.
Funding: the positions are scholarship-based, full-time (100%) for one year initially, with a high possibility of extension for a second year. The scholarship amount is tax free and paid every six months.
Application window: deadline is 8 July 2026, with interviews expected in August and a fall 2026 start date.
How to apply: submit the application through the Varbi recruitment system and include a CV, publication list, and a one-page summary of current work. Use the relevant project application link provided in the post.
