Professors at Karolinska Institutet
Professor is the highest academic career level at Swedish universities and means that the person is expected to take overall responsibility in his or her field of study. At Karolinska Institutet, professors are generally recruited in competition, but sometimes external research leaders are hand-picked for this position. Below is a list of all full professors at KI, including researchers with a so-called senior professor position.

Professors emeriti
At the age of retirement, many researchers with professorial competence choose to continue their work at KI with an affiliation agreement. These trusted and experienced researchers are usually titled professor emeritus (male) or professor emerita (female) – in the plural form, professors emeriti.
Adjunct and Visiting Professors
An Adjunct Professor at KI must have his or her primary employment and activity outside the higher education sector. This position is also time-limited.
A Visiting Professor at KI must be employed at another university, Swedish or foreign, or by a company, another authority or organization. The visiting professor must have a clear association with KI and participate in activities such as research, research education and undergraduate education.
List of adjunct and visiting professors
Foreign Adjunct Professor
Foreign Adjunct Professor is an appointment with the purpose of strengthening the international collaboration with foreign research colleagues of good repute.
