Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences is seeking to recruit a research assistantto workin the project “Female sex hormone and menopause effects on cortico-reticular functioning (MENSA)”. The position is a fixed-term contract for the period of 1.8.2026-31.8.2027, with the prospect of expanding the role into a doctoral researcher position either during this term or upon its completion.
The project seeks to establish whether fluctuating concentrations of estrogen and/or progesterone influence central nervous system functioning and whether this, in turn, affects physical performance. The project includes three experiments in different cohorts where measurements are performed during times that endocrine hormone concentrations are high and are low. Data tracking physical performance and neuronal functioning at different phases of the eumenorrheic cycle has already been collected and requires further data analyses and manuscript write-up. Data tracking physical performance and neuronal functioning related to menopause is currently beginning. Data measuring males undergoing prostate cancer treatment and an experimental estradiol add-back therapy is planned and likely to begin in 2027 (Project website: https://www.jyu.fi/en/projects/female-sex-hormone-and-menopause-effects-on-cortico-reticular-functioning-mensa).
Who should apply
The role of the successful candidate largely focusses on the experiments mentioned in the project description, data analysis, and scientific write-up for peer-review publication. Potential other roles within the research group of Simon Walker, such as supporting doctoral researchers in their measurements or analyses, presenting in seminars/workshops/public events etc., may also be undertaken during the course of the employment. We are looking for a person who has good problem-solving skills, is curious and motivated to learn, and is comfortable working independently as well as part of a team.
Prerequisites for the position are a near‑completed or recently completed Master’s degree in a relevant field (e.g. sport and exercise science, kinesiology, neuroscience), evidence of laboratory research experience in human subjects, and ability to write scientific text (e.g. prior publications or academic thesis) and communicate research findings verbally. We expect that the successful candidate can absorb theoretical and practical information quickly. Further, we value a keen interest in neuro- and electrophysiology and how hormones and exercise may modulate physiological functioning.
A trial period of six months will be applied at the beginning of the employment.

Are you a self-reliant and solution-oriented person? Would you like to be part of a fast-growing company and work on impactful diagnostics development?
Our customer Biohit Oyj is looking for an Assay Development Scientist to join a team focused on Lateral Flow Assay (LFA) product development. The position is full-time and permanent, and the employment contract is formed directly with Biohit Oyj. The workplace is located along good transport links in Roihupelto in Helsinki. The work is mainly done at the office, but partial remote work is possible. We hope that you could start in the position as soon as possible.
About the role
In this role, you will work hands-on in the laboratory to develop and optimize lateral flow immunoassays. You will translate assay needs into clear experimental plans (”design inputs”), generate and document evidence-based assay performance (”design outputs”), and support verification activities by defining test approaches, acceptance criteria, and performance summaries. You will collaborate with relevant internal stakeholders (e.g., development, quality interfaces, manufacturing interfaces as needed) to ensure assay development deliverables are clear, complete, and ready for next-stage work.
Main responsibilities
Hands-on laboratory development and optimization of lateral flow assays, including iterative troubleshooting and robustness improvements
Define assay development objectives and requirements (design inputs) and convert them into clear experimental plans, protocols, and study outlines
Execute experiments with strong attention to detail, maintain structured lab records, and produce clear, concise development reports
Analyze and summarize assay performance using appropriate data handling and basic statistics; communicate conclusions and recommendations clearly
Produce assay development deliverables (design outputs), such as optimized assay conditions, preliminary specifications/targets, and documented rationale for key design choices
Support verification/performance evaluation from the assay-development perspective by helping define test methods, sample/data needs, and acceptance criteria, and by summarizing results in a structured format
Contribute to feasibility studies and investigations, including collaboration with external partners when needed, and participate in continuous improvement of development ways of working
What we require
Degree in biochemistry, biotechnology, biomedical/chemical engineering, analytical chemistry, or a related field (or equivalent relevant competence)
Strong biochemistry laboratory techniques and good laboratory practices
Strong theoretical background in biochemistry/biotechnology relevant to immunoassays
Proven capability in experimental design with clear, detailed, and concise planning and reporting
Basic biomedical data analysis and statistics skills applicable to assay development
Excellent documentation skills in English
Strong problem-solving skills and high attention to detail
Hands-on experience with immunoassays; lateral flow assay experience is strongly preferred
