The Nordic Brain Network at Karolinska Institutet invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher in Dementia Neuroepidemiology. The role focuses on investigating sex differences in dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, particularly the impact of hormonal and reproductive factors, chronic stress, and sleep disturbances. The project integrates neuroimaging, biomarkers, genetic data, and longitudinal cohort studies to elucidate mechanisms and identify high-risk individuals. Responsibilities include study design, data analysis, manuscript preparation, and interdisciplinary collaboration with international partners. Applicants should hold a PhD in neuroepidemiology, medical sciences, or a related field, with strong statistical and analytical skills. Experience in ageing research, biomarker data, or sex-difference studies is advantageous. The position is full-time for two years with potential extension.
