Postdoctoral research opportunity at Karolinska Institutet in the Andersson Lab, where the project is centered on developmental lineage tracing of the embryonic brain and choroid plexus in mouse models. The lab combines in utero nano-injection , genetic barcoding , single-cell sequencing , and advanced imaging to follow cell lineages directly in developing embryos. The project aims to clarify the developmental origins, diversification, and spatial organization of the choroid plexus and its relat...

The postdoctoral position is based in the Division of History at Lund University , within a large and active department that also includes Human Rights Studies and the Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies. The Division brings together professors, senior lecturers, researchers, doctoral candidates, and administrative staff, and offers a research-rich environment with teaching across undergraduate to doctoral levels. The postdoc will be affiliated with one or more of the Division’s six res...

KTH Royal Institute of Technology is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to contribute to SAInt: Situated Agentic Interaction , a Promobilia-funded project developing humanoid assistive robots for older adults and people with special needs. The research focuses on generative AI, machine learning, natural language processing, speech and language technology, and human–robot interaction. The postdoctoral researcher will develop and evaluate a dialogue architecture that enables a humanoid robot to und...

This PhD project is part of TWIG, a five-year ERC Starting Grant focused on tropical forest biomass flows that are usually missed by conventional inventories. The work combines repeated terrestrial laser scanning with long-term forest monitoring to directly quantify damage, recovery, and biomass redistribution in mature tropical forests. The doctoral researcher will study the environmental and biological drivers of tree-level biomass changes and the ecological consequences of small-scale disturb...

KTH Royal Institute of Technology is offering a postdoctoral position within the newly launched SAInt: Situated Agentic Interaction project at the Department of Speech, Music and Hearing (TMH) in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. The project is Promobilia-funded and sits in an internationally recognized research environment in speech and language technology, with a strong focus on multimodal interaction with social robots. The project aims to develop and evaluate humanoi...

The postdoctoral project is hosted by the Katajisto laboratory at Karolinska Institutet in Solna, Sweden. The lab studies how stem cell-intrinsic and stem cell-extrinsic mechanisms shape tissue renewal capacity and contribute to the functional decline associated with aging. This position centers on developing approaches and model systems to study cellular memory in tissue stem cells . The successful candidate will use these systems to identify the kinds of challenges that build cellular memories...

Umeå University is offering a two-year postdoctoral scholarship in the Department of Computing Science within the project “Artificial Intelligent Agents Supporting Older Adults’ Engagement in Activities to Promote Health.” The project explores how a digital companion can support older adults in daily activities that contribute to health and wellbeing. It examines how an AI-based instrument can be useful both to older adults engaging in everyday activities and to occupational therapists working i...
