Are you holding Master\u2019s degree and looking for fully funded PhD positions? Karolinska Institutet, Solna, Sweden invites online application for multiple funded PhD Programs \/ fully funded PhD positions in various research areas.<\/span><\/p>\n Candidates interested in fully funded PhD positions can check the details and may apply as soon as possible. Interested and eligible applicants may submit their online application for PhD programs via the University\u2019s Online Application Portal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The candidate will work on a research project investigating the multisensory mechanisms underlying the experience of perceiving an entire body as one’s own (‘sense of body ownership’), focusing on how various body parts, especially the head, contribute to this fundamental experience. The project employs full-body illusions and advanced functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) analyses to explore the brain mechanisms that support the sense of owning an entire body and the specific role of the head in this process.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n In this doctoral project, you will have the opportunity to contribute to research on social problems linked to mental health and the work environment. In your role as a doctoral student, you will investigate work environment factors linked to health and return to work after sick leave due to mental illness. The focus is on personal assistants, an important and often understudied professional group within Swedish welfare. In your role, you will participate in various phases of a research project, including planning, collecting and analyzing data and reporting. You will also communicate research results to other researchers and cooperating actors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Follow FellowshipBard for daily updates! <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Facebook<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Twitter<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Linkedin<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Telegram Channel<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n This project is funded by Karolinska Institutet KID grant and the European Network grant Infraplus. It is focused on developing advanced in vitro models of the blood-brain barrier. The project is strongly guided by the 3R principles to Reduce, Refine and Replace animal experiments. In the reduce and refine part the student will develop a microfluidic blood-brain barrier using mouse neurovascular cells, first primary, then derived from mouse embryonic stem cells. This model will be validated with direct in vitro to in vivo correlation to mouse data to build evidence for which studies advanced in vitro models are sufficient. In the replace part the student will further develop human microfluidic blood-brain barrier models established in Herland lab.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The project focuses on studying MS autoantigens in general, and those expressed in endothelium in particular, in the development of central nervous system inflammation. To that end we will use both spatial transcriptomics as well as single cell RNAseq techniques to study patterns of expression and tissue distribution. To validate those targets functionally, we will carry out both human and mouse protein production and purification, animal experiments, flow cytometry and immunofluorescence approaches and in vitro cell co-cultures. Given its novelty, the student should be ready to engage in troubleshooting different experimental approaches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Our research group has established a salamander heart regeneration model and identified an important role for tight junction remodelling in guiding heart muscle cell restoration. The PhD project aims to deepen our understanding of the role of tight junctions in salamander heart regeneration through intravital imaging of the regenerating heart. Student will be involved in designing an imaging cassette, generating transgenic reporter lines, imaging and data analysis encompassing various stages of successful and impaired heart regeneration. The successful candidate will be integrated in a multidisciplinary team comprising molecular and cellular biologists and physicists.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The main aim of this doctoral project is to characterize the role of deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs) in regulating the destruction of neurodegeneration-associated proteins by the proteasome and exploring its therapeutic potential in cellular models for neurodegeneration. You will use advanced microscopy, flow cytometry and biochemical analysis to study with the help of in-house developed cell-based assays the role of DUBs in protein quality control. You will present the findings of your studies in scientific publications and at international meetings and conferences. In addition to the experimental work for this project, you will participate in group meetings, journal clubs, seminars and other research-related activities.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In this doctoral project, we will study vaccination during pregnancy, focusing on the safety of vaccinations for the pregnant individual, the fetus, and the child; the effectiveness of vaccines against severe infections during pregnancy and infancy; and factors related to women’s willingness and reluctance to vaccinate during pregnancy. The project includes register-based epidemiological studies as well as qualitative interview studies. The long-term goal of the project is to contribute knowledge that can lead to increased trust in vaccines in society, targeted interventions to enhance vaccination uptake during pregnancy, and, ultimately, a reduced burden of disease in the population.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The Svenningsson lab is a translational and multidisciplinary research group studying movement disorders, particularly Parkinson\u2019s disease. We use cellular and animal models together with novel molecular imaging techniques to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying these diseases. Our goals are to identify novel biomarkers and medically relevant therapeutic targets. At the clinic, we conduct longitudinal studies on cohorts of patients with Parkinson\u2019s disease and other movement disorders, assessing both motor and non-motor symptoms. We also perform clinical trials with novel pharmacological therapies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The main aim with the project is to characterize and model molecular mechanisms involved in cluster headache by an integrative and interdisciplinary approach with focus on genetics, sex differences and inflammation. The candidate will be responsible for recruiting, collecting and managing biological samples and clinical data from study participants with cluster headache and controls. The candidate will use molecular biology tools such as qPCR, Western blot and ELISA to elucidate biological pathways which are believed to be involved in the pathophysiology of primary headache disorders with a focus on cluster headache.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The Fossati lab (https:\/\/fossatilab.app) investigates bacterial immune systems composition and mechanism by employing a combination of bulk NGS technologies and high-throughput interaction proteomics approaches (Fossati et al. 2023, Nat Com) as well as developing computational solutions to analyze next-generation interaction proteomics datasets using machine learning (Fossati et al. 2021, Nat Methods) and deep learning (Frommelt and Fossati et al, Nat Methods 2024).<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Metabolic dysfunction due to genetic impairment or increasing age has emerged as a shared mechanism that underlies neuronal vulnerability in neurodegenerative diseases. A \u2018metabolic dysfunction hypothesis\u2019 is being increasingly recognized as causative in Alzheimer\u2019s and Parkinson\u2019s disease (AD, PD). The mechanisms by which metabolic dysfunction influence neuronal metabolism and lead to neurodegeneration have yet to be fully established.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n1.
