Welcome

The National Institutes of Health / Karolinska Institutet Doctoral Program in Neuroscience combines the substantial resources of two leading institutions to collaboratively train future leaders in neuroscience research. The Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden is among the very best neuroscience research centers in Europe. The NIH is the largest and best-equipped biomedical research facility in the world, and 20% of its faculty describe themselves as neuroscientists. Students perform their thesis research as a collaborative project between the two laboratories, and under the joint supervision of a mentor from each institution. We strongly believe that future leaders in biomedical research should have multi-disciplinary training, learn to work in research teams, and have strong international exposure. Via this collaborative doctoral program between two institutions renowned for neuroscience research, we are confident that our PhD students are being trained to become the scientific leaders of the 21st century.

Knowledge of Swedish is not required at all. English is the official scientific language.
