Sylvia Varland fullførte en doktorgrad i molekylærbiologi ved Universitetet i Bergen høsten 2016. Hun fikk et personlig mobilitetsstipend fra Norsk forskningsråd et og var på et toårig forskningsopphold ved Donnelly Center for Cellular og Biomolecular Research i Toronto, Canada. Nå arbeider hun ved Arnesen laboratoriumet ved Institutt for Biomedisin.
