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.

Your Profile

• A Ph.D. in Epidemiology, Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Statistics, Computer Science, or a closely related field.
• Solid experience in statistical analysis and programming (e.g., R, Python, MATLAB) and a keen interest in machine learning applications in clinical research.
• Demonstrable ability to work independently and as part of a team, with excellent communication skills and a commitment to scientific excellence.
• A publication record that reflects your research expertise and contributions to the field.

Location: Department of Oncology-Pathology, Karolinska Institutet, 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.
