Division
The Division of Clinical Epidemiology at the Department of Medicine Solna at Karolinska Institutet has an opening for a postdoc position working with Assistant Professor Elizabeth Arkema on risk factors for and outcomes associated with systemic lupus erythematosus. The postdoc will work within a larger research group of approximately 20 people (doctoral students, postdocs, assistant professors, senior researchers) with different backgrounds but with common research interests, namely the study of chronic inflammatory diseases using Swedish national registers and clinical data. We are seeking a talented and motivated postdoctoral fellow with training and experience in epidemiology and biostatistics.
Duties
The postdoctoral work will use large population-based register data to study how systemic lupus and its treatment affects risk of malignancy, cardiovascular disease and reproductive outcomes. The postdoctoral fellow will work with the international team to design and conduct research relevant to the research group’s agenda while receiving advanced training to enhance professional skills and research independence. The postdoc’s time will be devoted to data management, analysis, manuscript preparation and career development. There are no teaching requirements but opportunities to teach can be facilitated.
