Department of Clinical Neuroscience (CNS) conducts research and education in the field of neuroscience from the molecular level to the society level. The clinical research and education is conducted in collaboration with other research groups from the Karolinska Institutet, with other universities as well as the Stockholm County Council.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammation of the central nervous system. There are approximately 17.000 MS patients in Sweden today and a large number of these participate in the Swedish MS registry. Despite access to disease modifying drugs many MS patients are still affected by significant disabilities. In recent years, a large number of genes and several environmental factors influencing MS risk have been identified.
The research group
At the Department of Clinical Neuroscience we perform exciting and extensive MS research into the causes, disease mechanisms, treatment and progression. Clinical data from the Swedish MS registry has a central role in these research projects. In addition, we perform large data collections of Swedish MS patients and healthy controls including genotyping data and environmental factors. Combining all these data with data from the public health registries presents a challenge. In the research group we employ physicians, biologists, statisticians and programmers. We are actively developing the research infrastructure as well as the mathematical analysis tools in collaboration with external expertise at the research forefront.
Duties
We are looking for a PostDoc in MS epidemiology to develop links between existing databases and public registries, to select and develop appropriate statistical methods and to examine the importance of genes, environment and treatment for MS progression. The work will be carried out independently, but in close collaboration with an extensive network of researchers.
Qualifications
We are looking for a dynamic epidemiologist with a PhD and with documented experience of registry research and extensive knowledge of statistical calculation methods. Experience of neuroepidemiology would be an advantage.
Entry requirements
A person is eligible for a postdoc position if he or she has obtained a PhD no more than seven years before the last date of employment as postdoc.
Application process
An employment application must contain the following documents in English or Swedish:
• A complete curriculum vitae, including date of the thesis defence, title of the thesis, previous academic positions, academic title, current position, academic distinctions, and committee work
