Duties
Our research group is interested in identifying novel targets and biomarkers that may lead to improved therapeutic approaches to Alzheimer Disease and other dementias. We are looking for a highly motivated person that is well acquainted with basic biochemical and cell biological techniques. Previous experience from neuroscience, membrane proteins, protein labeling, protein interactions, mass spectrometry, glycobiology, assay development, confocal microscopy and cell culturing is meritorious.
Entry requirements
Scholarships to pursue postdoctoral studies may be awarded to individuals who come from other countries with the intention of remaining in Sweden only while obtaining all or part of their education. The head of the department determines whether their previous training and scholarly qualifications correspond to a Swedish PhD or higher. Having received a salary or other remuneration from Karolinska Institutet during the past two years may be disqualifying. One requirement for receiving a scholarship for postdoctoral studies is central registration as a postdoc.
Type of scholarship
Karolinska Institutet awards scholarships to pursue postdoctoral studies. This educational scholarship, which is paid for a maximum of two years within seven years after the receipt of a PhD or the equivalent, is tax-exempt. The amount is set for a maximum of six months at a time and is paid out on a monthly basis.
