In this call we search for talented, young researchers within the fields of Medical Sciences/Biological Sciences/Ethics in Health Sciences/Ethics in Social Sciences/Psychological Sciences with a special interest in Epidemiology and/or Public Health, as presented by dr. Susanna Ragnhild Andersdatter Siri:

I am Fimbenáilluánte-Susanna, a Northern Sami researcher from a reindeer herding community. I hold a Ph.D. epidemiology from 2021, specifically on the risk of cardiovascular diseases in Sami and non-Sami populations. I work at the Centre for Sami Health Research, where I manage the biobank component of the SAMINOR Study, a population-based survey that holds the only source of Sami self-reported ethnicity data spanning generations. In my work with SAMINOR Survey, I have gained interest in Indigenous data sovereignty and protection, leading to my engagement with the Global Indigenous Data Alliance (GIDA) and to co-founding a Nordic Sami data sovereignty network. Currently, I am involved in making Sami data visible in the Global Biodiversity Infrastructure Facility wherein my focus is on how to include and acknowledge Sami traditional knowledge within the infrastructure. Moreover, my academic interests also concern stress and how and what resilience factors help mitigate health challenges in Sami communities, particularly in the context of being a minority, exposed to climate change and land loss.

Please send your CV (max 3 pages) and describe a research project that will strengthen and complement the presented research (max 2 pages) to susanna.r.siri@uit.no by Feb 16th, 2026. Mark your application "Arctic MSCA". Successful candidates will be contacted in late March 2026.
