PhD Opportunities in Neuropsychology in Sweden

The Biomarkers in Brain Disease research group at Lund University is recruiting a PhD student to work on biomarkers and disease mechanisms in Huntington’s disease and related neurodegeneration. The project is centred on how the body’s biological clock, sleep and circadian rhythms may influence disease progression, building on the idea that disruptions in timing systems are not only symptoms but may also contribute to neurodegenerative processes. The doctoral project combines in vitro and in vivo...

This doctoral position is based in the Department of Psychology at Mid Sweden University and centers on a research project at the intersection of social psychology and sociolinguistics. The project investigates how accents function as social signals and how foreign accents shape social perception, attitudes, emotions, and behaviours. The research addresses themes of stereotypes, discrimination, and social inclusion from both Swedish and international perspectives, with a consistent gender perspe...

This doctoral project is based in the Bok Lab at Lund University and sits within the Lund Vision Group, a collaborative research environment focused on comparative visual science across the animal kingdom. The group brings together several labs and a broad mix of expertise, with work spanning jellyfishes, insects, crustaceans, squids, and vertebrates. The environment combines optics, electrophysiology, theoretical modelling, microscopy, molecular biology, and behavioural experiments to investiga...

Lund University invites applications for a doctoral project on the evolution of colour vision in marine invertebrates. The PhD researcher will investigate whether the firefly squid, a cephalopod, and the alciopid worm, an annelid, have independently evolved colour vision despite living in deep-water, night-time environments. The project will examine how colour vision influences behaviour and whether these species use visual processing circuits and principles comparable to those found in arthropo...

Lund University is recruiting a doctoral student to investigate how biological clock disturbances influence Huntington’s disease (HD), an inherited neurodegenerative disorder affecting movement, cognition and psychiatric function. The project focuses on the relationship between circadian rhythms and disease progression. The body’s biological clock regulates sleep, metabolism, immune function and brain activity, while individual cells and organs maintain their own rhythms. Because sleep and circa...

Karolinska Institutet in Huddinge, Sweden, is offering a full-time PhD position in digital lifestyles and mental wellbeing in adolescents, using mHealth and EEG methodologies. The doctoral student will join the IMPACT research group, led by Professor Marie Löf, and work within the research team of Researcher Ioannis Ioakeimidis. The project investigates how objectively measured digital lifestyle parameters relate to lifestyle behaviours, mental wellbeing and neurophysiological responses among ch...

PhD opportunity at Karolinska Institutet, Sweden in developmental neurobiology, stem cell biology, and regenerative medicine. The Johan Ericson research group at Karolinska Institutet is recruiting a doctoral student for a project focused on how neuronal identity is specified during development and how this knowledge can be used to improve differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into clinically relevant neuronal subtypes. The work combines basic developmental biology with transla...

PhD position in Epigenetics and Chromatin Dynamics at Lund University The Laboratory of Epigenetics and Chromatin Dynamics in the Department of Experimental Medical Science, Faculty of Medicine, Lund University, is recruiting a doctoral student to study epigenetic regulation of repetitive and transposable genetic elements in human brain development and disease. The project focuses on clustered protocadherin repeat genes, retrotransposons, and CGG microsatellite tandem repeats, asking how these r...

Stockholm University is advertising a PhD student position in Neurochemistry with Molecular Neurobiology at the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics in Stockholm, Sweden. The project, titled “Multiplex chromatin technologies to understand human brain development” , focuses on developing new multiplex chromatin mapping technologies and applying them to study the gene regulatory principles that shape human brain development. The work combines single-cell epigenomics , chromatin biology , neur...
