Job Description
As a postdoctoral scholar, you will lead independent studies focusing on identifying molecular fingerprints of VCID. Key duties include:
- Developing and refining research questions and managing data, with a focus on proteomics.
- Leading the analysis and integration of proteomic data and identifying molecular signatures.
- Applying advanced analytical approaches (e.g., machine learning, longitudinal models) to link molecular profiles to clinical and cognitive outcomes.
- Writing manuscripts for publication and presenting findings at professional forums.
- Contributing to the development of new analytical pipelines for multi-omics integration.
- Potentially supervising students and participating in grant writing.
How to Apply
Applications must be submitted via the Varbi recruitment system. Your application must contain the following documents in English or Swedish:
