Karolinska Institutet

Division
This research project will be conducted under the KI-NIH Graduate Training Partnership in Neuroscience and will be a collaboration between the Center for Psychiatry Research in the Department of Clinical Neuroscience at the Karolinska Institutet with the Molecular Imaging Branch of the National Institute of Mental Health on the Bethesda campus of the National Institutes of Health (USA). The student will spend a minimum of 12 months of the project period at the NIH laboratory.  The student will be registered at KI in the department of the respective project leader.  The collaborator at NIH will be assigned as co-supervisor.  Funding is provided for four years.

The positron emission tomography (PET) laboratories at both the Karolinska Institutet and the National Institute of Mental Health are leaders in developing novel PET radiotracers for use in neuropsychiatric research and drug development.  

Duties
The aim of this studentship is to develop new short-lived PET radiotracers for studies of brain neuroreceptors in human subjects.  The student should gain valuable skills in organic synthesis, radiolabeling techniques and in PET radiotracer evaluation, and also a valuable international perspective on this area of research in multidisciplinary biomedical research settings. Additionally, this studentship is expected to foster the transfer of ideas, techniques and radiotracers between the two centers.  The project is designed to lead to student first-author publications, as a basis for the PhD thesis.  
Entry requirements
To meet the general entry requirements for third-cycle studies, an applicant must have

1. taken a second-cycle qualification

2. completed course requirements for at least 240 higher education credits, including at least 60 second-cycle higher education credits, or

3. otherwise acquired essentially the same knowledge in or outside Sweden.

An applicant who met the general entry requirements for third-cycle studies before 1 July 2007 is regarded as having met the current requirements, though no longer than until the end of June 2015.

A selection will be made among qualified applicants on the basis of the ability to benefit from third-cycle studies. Karolinska Institutet uses the following bases of assessment:

• Documented subject knowledge of relevance to the area of research
• Analytical skill
• Other documented knowledge or experience that may be relevant to third-cycle studies in the subject

The qualifications of the applicants will be evaluated on an overall basis.

NB! Students already registered as doctoral students at KI cannot apply.

A decision concerning the doctoral student position will be made after admission to third-cycle studies. For additional information about third-cycle studies at Karolinska Institutet, see http://www.ki.se/doctoral.

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

• A personal letter and curriculum vitae
