About this position

This postdoctoral scholarship at Karolinska Institutet is part of a project on heart regeneration in salamanders, with a specific focus on how regenerative programs are brought to an end in a controlled and timely way.

The project investigates the role of cell-cell junctions, signaling, and mechanical cues in regulating regeneration in the salamander heart. Using the Iberian-ribbed newt as a model organism, the research group studies how the epicardium interacts with the cardiac muscle and how regenerative processes are coordinated across the regenerating heart.

The appointed postdoctoral researcher will join the research group led by Dr. Elif Eroglu, whose work centers on how mechanical cues guide cardiac regeneration. The environment is described as vibrant, interdisciplinary, and closely connected to a broad range of expertise in medicine and health at KI.

Day-to-day work will combine small animal surgery, basic molecular biology assays, force measurements, epigenetic analysis, and transcriptomic analysis, together with complementary functional and multi-omics approaches. The project makes use of a dedicated state-of-the-art two-photon microscope, offering strong opportunities for technically advanced work on tissue regeneration, cellular dynamics, and the changing physical properties of the regenerating heart.

The opening is framed around fundamental questions in regeneration biology, with potential relevance to regenerative medicine and cancer biology. The scholarship is based in Stockholm and embedded in a research setting that emphasizes scientific development, collaboration, and career advancement.

Funding details

Postdoctoral scholarship; amount is tax free and set for twelve months at a time, paid out on a six months basis. In exceptional cases, shorter periods may be acceptable.

What's required

Applicants should have a background in cell and molecular biology with experience in mechanotransduction and regenerative biology, and a strong interest in microscopy. Experience working with a regenerating organism and/or a non-traditional model is meriting. Completion of the doctoral degree within the last two years is considered an advantage. Strong data analysis skills are essential. Experience with Matlab, R, Python, or similar programming environments, and the ability to integrate and interpret multi-modal datasets, are major assets. To be eligible, applicants must hold a doctorate or an equivalent foreign degree; applicants who have not yet completed the doctorate may apply only if all requirements for the completed degree are met before the intended start date. The scholarship is intended for foreign researchers who come to Sweden for postdoctoral education and is not open to persons resident in Sweden or to those who have carried out all or part of their academic education in Sweden.

How to apply

Prepare an application in English or Swedish including a complete CV, a complete list of publications, and a one-page summary of current work. Submit the application through the Varbi recruitment system.
