The Department of Neuroscience includes several research groups working on different aspects of nervous system function, both under normal conditions and in various disease states. Research projects include a broad range of studies on the molecular and cellular levels, networks of neurons, and the organization of the nervous system as a whole.
The Department has a flat organization with 40 research group leaders, of which 24 are full professors, and 65 Ph D students. Teaching represents a fundamental activity at the Department, which participates in several undergraduate courses and postgraduate education programs. Each year approximately 15 students receive their Ph D from our Department and many of our graduates have gone onto distinguished careers in the academic or private sector.

Division

Our research group (www.klingberglab.se) focus on development and plasticity, with particular emphasis on working memory, reasoning and mathematics. We are now looking for one post-doc to be involved in analytics on large databases of behavioral, genetic and neuroimaging data, conducting meta-analyses as well as initiating new research.

Duties

You will have the ability to work with advanced analysis of large databases of already acquired data, using using advanced statistical methods, including machine learning. The position is also very flexible, with an opportunity to initiate and start new studies, collecting behavioral data or with neuroimaging using MEG, f MRI, TDCS or EEG.
The scholarship period is flexible, but planned to start in January/February 2025.

Entry requirements

Scholarships for postdoctoral qualification can be established for foreign researchers who place their qualifications in Sweden. The purpose of scholarships for postdoctoral qualification is to promote internationalization and contribute to research qualification after a doctorate or equivalent.
A scholarship for carrying out postdoctoral research can be granted for a maximum of two years within a four year period following the receipt of a doctoral degree or equivalent.
To be eligible for a postdoctoral scholarship, the person must have obtained a doctorate or a foreign degree deemed to be equivalent to a doctorate. Applicants who have not completed a doctorate at the end of the application period may also apply, provided that all requirements for a completed degree are met before the (intended) start date of the post doctoral education.
The head of the department determines whether their previous training and scholarly qualifications correspond to a Swedish doctorate or higher.
Location: Solna

Type of scholarship

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

Application process

An application must contain the following documents in English or Swedish:

• A complete curriculum vitae, including date of the thesis defence, title of the thesis, previous academic positions, academic title, current position, academic distinctions, and committee work
