Titre du poste : Postdoctoral research in space human physiology with a focus on meta-analysis research (scholarship)
Entreprise : Karolinska Institutet
Le Karolinska Institutet, reconnu comme l’une des principales universités médicales au monde, se positionne à la pointe de la recherche innovante dans le domaine de la santé. Ce poste postdoctoral est une opportunité unique pour les chercheurs passionnés par l’exploration spatiale et la physiologie humaine.
Description du Poste
Rejoignez le Space and Environmental Physiology Group du Karolinska Institutet, où vous contribuerez à la compréhension des réponses physiologiques humaines en milieu spatial. Ce groupe, rattaché à la Division de Physiologie Clinique, se concentre sur l’impact du vol spatial sur la masse et la fonction musculaire, ainsi que sur ses interactions avec d’autres systèmes physiologiques tels que le système immunitaire et cardiovasculaire.
Les installations du laboratoire permettent de mener des études humaines à l’aide d’équipements de pointe pour évaluer les réponses fonctionnelles, moléculaires et métaboliques aux variations d’utilisation musculaire. En parallèle, des études animales sont également menées en collaboration avec des partenaires internationaux pour favoriser la recherche translationnelle.
Vos Missions
Le candidat retenu bénéficiera d’une bourse de recherche postdoctorale d’une durée d’un an, axée sur une méta-analyse des changements physiologiques observés lors d’analogues de vol spatial. Les responsabilités principales incluront :
- Synthèse des données issues d’au moins sept études sur le repos au lit, afin d’analyser les adaptations musculo-squelettiques face à des microgravitations simulées à court et long termes.
- Participation potentielle à des projets expérimentaux en laboratoire et à des études humaines en cours sous la supervision du Dr. Rodrigo Fernandez-Gonzalo.
Profil Recherché
Les candidats doivent posséder :
- Une expertise avérée en techniques de curation de données et de méta-analyse.
- Une solide formation en physiologie humaine, en particulier en biologie musculo-squelettique.
- Une expérience en méthodes de biologie moléculaire (qPCR, Western blotting) et/ou en études humaines est fortement souhaitable.
- Une capacité démontrée à diriger des projets de recherche et à contribuer à la conception d’études, à l’analyse de données, et à la rédaction de manuscrits.
Nous recherchons également des candidats qui se distinguent par leur collaboration, leur curiosité scientifique, et un intérêt marqué pour les mécanismes d’adaptation humaine aux vols spatiaux.
Conditions d’Entrée
La bourse postdoctorale s’adresse aux chercheurs étrangers élaborant leur expertise en Suède. Les candidats doivent être titulaires d’un doctorat ou d’un diplôme étranger équivalent. Les individus résidant en Suède ne peuvent pas bénéficier de cette bourse.
Ce que Nous Offrons
Des ressources dans un environnement dynamique propice à l’innovation sont disponibles. L’accès à des équipements modernes et une large gamme d’expertises collaboratives enrichit l’expérience d’apprentissage et de recherche au Karolinska Institutet.
Localisation : Flemingsberg, Stockholm
Processus de Candidature
Les candidats intéressés doivent soumettre une demande via le système de recrutement Varbi, comprenant :
- Une lettre de motivation.
- Un CV détaillé avec des précisions sur le doctorat et les publications.
Les candidatures seront examinées de manière continue. La date de début prévue est le 15 août 2025.

📝 Description du poste : Are you passionate about contributing to cutting-edge biomedical research and the future of space exploration?Join the Space and Environmental Physiology Group at Karolinska Institutet and help advance our understanding of how the human body responds to spaceflight.About the GroupThe Space and Environmental Physiology Group is part of the Division of Clinical Physiology, Department of Laboratory Medicine, located at KI South Campus in Flemingsberg. Our research explores how spaceflight impacts skeletal muscle mass and function and its interactions with other physiological systems, like the immune system or the cardiovascular system.We conduct human studies using state-of-the-art equipment to examine the functional, molecular, and metabolic responses to both increased and decreased muscle use. Our laboratory facilities are fully equipped for exercise, unloading, and invasive human studies, as well as non-invasive physiological assessments. Additionally, we operate molecular and cellular laboratories supporting a wide range of advanced experimental approaches. Our group also engages in collaborative animal studies (mice) with international partners to expand our translational research efforts.DutiesWe are offering a one-year postdoctoral scholarship to a highly motivated researcher interested in conducting a meta-analysis of physiological changes during spaceflight analogs. Your primary task will be to synthesize data from at least seven bed rest studies to investigate musculoskeletal adaptations to both short- and long-term simulated microgravity.Additional opportunities include participation in ongoing wet lab experiments and human research projects. You will work under the supervision of Dr. Rodrigo Fernandez-Gonzalo, who leads ESA-funded research and collaborates with an international network of experts in space physiology.Your ProfileWe are looking for a driven and independent postdoctoral researcher with the following qualifications:
- Proven expertise in data curation and meta-analysis techniques
- Strong foundation in human physiology, especially musculoskeletal biology
- Experience with molecular biology methods (e.g., qPCR, Western blotting) and/or human studies is highly desirable
- Demonstrated ability to lead research projects and contribute to study design, data analysis, and manuscript preparation
In addition, we value candidates who are:
- Collaborative and team-oriented
- Enthusiastic and curious about new scientific challenges
- Deeply interested in the mechanisms of human adaptation to spaceflight
Entry requirementsPostdoctoral scholarships may be established for foreign researchers seeking to develop their expertise in Sweden. A foreign researcher is a person living in another country who comes to Sweden with the intention of only staying in Sweden for all or part of their postdoctoral education at KI. Persons who are resident in Sweden and/or have carried out all or part of their academic education at KI or some other educational institution in Sweden cannot be considered for scholarships. The purpose of scholarships for postdoctoral qualification is to promote internationalization and contribute to research qualification after a doctorate or equivalent.To be eligible for a postdoctoral scholarship, the person must have obtained a doctorate, or a foreign degree deemed to be equivalent to a doctorate. Applicants who have not completed a doctorate at the end of the application period may also apply, provided that all requirements for a completed degree are met before the (intended) start date of the post-doctoral education.What do we offer?A creative and inspiring environment with wide-ranging expertise and interests. Karolinska Institutet is one of the world’s leading medical universities. Here, we conduct innovative medical research and provide the largest range of biomedical education in Sweden. At KI, you get to meet researchers working with a wide range of specialisms and methods, giving you ample opportunity to exchange knowledge and experience with the various scientific fields within medicine and health. It is the crossover collaborations, which have pushed KI to where it is today, at the forefront of global research. Several of the people you meet in healthcare are educated at KI. A close relationship with the health care providers is important for creating groundbreaking top quality education and research. Students and employees have free access to our modern gym facilities with trained staff on site.Location: Flemingsberg CampusType of scholarshipThe amount is tax free and it is set for twelve months at a time, paid out on a six months basis. In exceptional cases, shorter periods may be acceptable.Application processAn application must contain the following documents in English or Swedish:
