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 PhD 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 PhD from our Department and many of our graduates have gone onto distinguished careers in the academic or private sector.
The research group of professor Torkel Klingberg (www.klingberglab.se) focus on development and plasticity, with particular emphasis on working memory, reasoning and mathematics. We are now hiring one post-doc to be involved in analytics on large databases of behavioural data.
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 scholarship period is flexible, but planned to start in June 2021.
The applicant for the post-doc position should have a PhD related to cognitive neuroscience, or computer science with educational questions.
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.

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.
