Technician or Technical Assistant positions in stem cell biology – University of Helsinki

19.1.2025 | Ajankohtaista

https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4117969236

About the job

The Lengefeld laboratory is working on understanding how the failure to regenerate tissue with age is a major health issue. A contributor to this decline is the loss of stem cell function. Despite the essential role of stem cells, it is still unclear how they fail to maintain their functions during aging and disease. We discovered a new aspect of stem cell aging in vivo: cellular enlargement. With age and damage, stem cells increase in size causing their functional decline. However, we are only beginning to understand how size impacts stem cell fitness and the physiological importance of this process remains unsolved.

Laboratory website: http://lengefeldlab.com/

The laboratory of Assistant Professor Dr. Jette Lengefeld is inviting applications for a Technician or Technical Assistant position. This position harbors several functions. The main activities are listed below:

  • Supporting research projects of lab members, with a strong drive to intellectually contribute. Tasks will include mouse genotyping, mouse blood work, mouse monitoring, cell culture, stem cell isolation using flow cytometry, data management and microscopy. We expect you to fully understand the experimental design and undying reasons for performing the experiment.
  • Performing administrative tasks for group leader, research meetings and bills.
  • Active intellectual contribution to research discussion like lab meetings, journal clubs, and project discussions.

Required qualifications and experience:

We expect the suitable candidate to hold an B. SC., M.Sc. or Ph.D. degree in the field related to biology; knowledge in experimental mouse work and approval for mouse work are required. The candidate must be fluent in English.

Salary and contract:

The position is offered for a fixed term of one year starting in 2025 or as negotiated. Salary will depend upon the applicant’s level of skills, knowledge, and abilities and is based on the university salary system. A trial period of 6 months will be applied.

Why work with us?
