Students who bring hope for the future. Employees who every day contribute to Link\u00f6ping University meeting the challenges of our time. Our values rest on credibility, trust, and security. By being courageous, thinking freely, and creating something new, we together\u2014through great and small actions\u2014build a better future. Welcome to apply for a position with us!\nYour Tasks\nThe research will primarily be based on the ABIS study (All Babies in Southeast Sweden; www.abis-studien.se), a birth cohort of 17,000 individuals born between October 1, 1997, and October 1, 1999, who have been followed up with regular surveys and biological samples (a new follow-up is currently underway). Several national registers are linked to the study, such as the Swedish National Patient Register and the National Drug Register.\nABIS was founded by and is still led by Johnny Ludvigsson, senior professor of pediatrics and research group leader. The ABIS study has so far resulted in more than 150 scientific publications, and 15 doctoral dissertations are based on ABIS. The main research areas have so far been studies of the development of type 1 diabetes, but also studies of celiac disease, JIA, IBD, autism, obesity, allergies, and recently also psoriasis.\nYou will participate in biostatistical\/epidemiological research on the etiology behind type 1 diabetes and other immune-mediated diseases. Epigenetic studies will continue, as will studies of protein and metabolomic patterns in relation to epigenetic patterns and beta cell function in the pancreas.\nIn addition to ABIS, you will also be involved in the EU project INITIALISE, which aims to clarify how exposures and genetics affect the gut microbiome, immune system, and metabolism, and how the interplay between these factors affects health throughout life, particularly immune-mediated diseases, behavior-related and metabolic outcomes.\nAs a postdoctoral fellow, you will primarily conduct research. Teaching may also be part of your duties, but no more than one-fifth of your working time.\nYour Qualifications\nTo be eligible for employment as a postdoctoral fellow, you must have completed a doctorate or hold a foreign degree assessed as equivalent to a doctorate. Your degree must be completed by the time the employment decision is made.\nIt is meritorious if your degree was completed no more than three years before the final application deadline for this position. If there are special circumstances, it may be considered if the doctorate was completed earlier, for example due to various types of statutory leaves.\nWe are looking for you with special expertise in epigenetics, methylation analyses, Olink proteomics, and shotgun proteomics. You should have knowledge and experience using both R and Linux-based pipelines and be proficient in bioinformatics and data analysis. You should have competence in the extraction, profiling, quantification, and analysis of circulating and exosomal miRNA biomarkers. We also welcome experience in writing scientific articles. A strong publication record is meritorious, and it is also meritorious if you have knowledge of ABIS\u2014and ideally have worked on the development of type 1 diabetes and other autoimmune diseases.\nYou are expected to work well in a group of postdoctoral fellows and also participate in the practical handling of biological samples, collaborate with others on the management of the ABIS biobank and registers, and deliver samples and data to other research groups. We are looking for a creative, responsible, and engaged team player.\nYour Workplace\nYou will work at https:\/\/liu.se\/organisation\/liu\/bkv\/bkh, https:\/\/liu.se\/organisation\/liu\/bkv, Link\u00f6ping University, under the supervision of professor https:\/\/liu.se\/medarbetare\/johlu29.\nAbout the Position\nThis is a fixed-term employment for two years with the possibility of extension for a total employment period of no more than three years.\nThe postdoctoral position is full-time.\nStart date by agreement.\nSalary and Benefits\nLink\u00f6ping University applies individual salary setting; please state your salary expectations in your application.\nRead more about benefits for employees https:\/\/liu.se\/jobba-pa-liu\/formaner\nUnion Representatives\nFor information about union representatives, see https:\/\/liu.se\/jobba-pa-liu\/hjalp-for-sokande.\nApplication\nYou apply for this position by clicking the \"Apply\" button below. Your application must be received by Link\u00f6ping University no later than September 11, 2026. Applications received after the final application deadline will not be considered.\nAppeal of Employment Decision\nWhere and When Employment Decisions Are Appealed\nEmployment decisions can be appealed to the Higher Education Appeals Board (\u00d6NH). \u00d6NH is the recipient of the appeal, but the appeal should be sent or delivered to Link\u00f6ping University. Your appeal must be received by us within three weeks from the day the employment decision was posted.\nSend your appeal to registrator@liu.se or Registrator, Link\u00f6ping University, 581 83 Link\u00f6ping.\nYour appeal must contain:\nyour name and contact details\nwhich employment decision you want changed and its reference number\nthe date of the decision\nwhat change you want and the reasons for this\n\nWhat Happens With Your Appeal?\nWhen we receive your appeal, we first check whether it was received on time.
