The University of Eastern Finland is inviting applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher position at the Kuopio campus at the Institute of Biomedicine. The position will be filled until 31 December 2025, starting from 1 September 2022 (or starting date as agreed). Please find more information below and submit your application no later than 12 August 2022
Role and salary
The Heinäniemi and Tollis research laboratories at the Institute of Biomedicine of the University of Eastern Finland are seeking a committed and enthusiastic Postdoctoral Researcher to decipher the quantitative determinants of cellular fate choices at the G1/S transition of the cell cycle. This basic science project also has a strong translational aspect in the context of aberrant gene regulation and “bad” cellular choices that lead to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
We are using a range of state-of-the-art single cell genomics technologies at the genome/epigenome/RNA/protein levels to capture the repertoire of cell states in tissues, and strip down cellular pathways regulating cell fate decisions to core, tractable subnetworks structures. Synergistically, we use avant-garde quantitative imaging techniques to measure critical cellular parameters in live cells, in order to understand how structures are dynamically modulated to gather, and process environmental information. In particular, your role in this project will be to measure the abundance, localization, dynamics and interactions of key cell cycle drivers in order to formalize quantitative determinants of cell fate choices. Together with the team you will develop computational models and data analysis tools to integrate those diverse datasets, and to discover molecular regulatory circuits and their functioning at the systems level, both in cell models and pre-clinical human studies. This project has many ramifications that will provide opportunities to develop your independence.
We will mentor you to gain the interdisciplinary skills to work at the interface between two fundamental, equally important aspects of cell biology: biological networks structures, and information processing. You will be part of a small team of motivated researchers with the opportunity to interact, on a daily basis, with two research groups that have broad expertise, excellent resources and strong mentoring skills for an interdisciplinary career path. You will be responsible for the daily management of the project and the staff involved in it; in addition, depending on your skills and interests, your research tasks may include wetlab work with human cell lines, cell/molecular biology experiments (including, e.g., CRISPR gene editing), quantitative bio-imaging, data analysis and the development of mathematical models.
You will join a growing local network of quantitative scientists and bioinformaticians and be able to use the high-capacity computational and microscopy infrastructures of the local Bioinformatics and Cellular Imaging centres. The position also offers a possibility to participate in teaching related to computational biomedicine, mathematical modelling of biological systems, and quantitative bioimaging.
The position will be filled initially until 31 December 2025, starting from 1 September 2022 (or starting date as agreed). Possible continuation of the position can be agreed separately. The position will be filled for a fixed term due to it pertaining to a specific project. A probationary period is applied to all new members of the staff.
The salary of the position is determined in accordance with the salary system of the Finnish universities. The salary comprises two components: a job requirement component and a personal performance component. In this position, the job requirement level used to determine the job-related salary element is 5, and the personal performance salary element is 6–50 % of the job-related salary element. The estimated monthly salary in the beginning of the employment will be 3348 – 3866 €/month.
Our requirements and expectations
We welcome highly motivated candidates with a cell or molecular biology/physics/applied mathematics background interested in becoming an expert in quantitative biomedical research. The position also requires good communications skills to work in a research team with members from different scientific backgrounds, and a high degree of independence and initiative.
- Ph.D. degree and
- excellent verbal and written communication skills (English) are required
- enthusiastic about science
- self-motivated, with a strong desire to learn and extend your skillset
- autonomous in your field of expertise, and able to take a step back from daily tasks and envision cell biological processes in the “Big Picture”
- committed to contribute intellectually and interpersonally toward a positive and stimulating lab environment
- previous experience in mammalian cell biology/molecular biology (e.g., knock-in gene editing methods), quantitative cell imaging and/or mathematical modelling of cellular pathways is desirable.
Your benefits
You will have access to the university’s staff benefits, including
- extensive occupational health care
- staff discount on lunch in our campus restaurants, as well as on a range of other services
- affordable sports services.

Post-doctoral position is available in the laboratory of Professor Jukka Westermarck at the Turku Bioscience Centre, University of Turku, Turku, Finland. We are looking for highly motivated researchers with PhD degree (or soon-to-be) to join our dynamic research group broadly focused on understanding the regulation and function of tumor suppressor Protein Phosphatase 2A (PP2A) in human cancers (https://bioscience.fi/research/cancer-cell-signaling/profile/).
This project is focused on characterization of novel PP2A-dependent mechanisms that potentially mediate synergistic oncogenic activities of RAS activation and PP2A inhibition. The question how RAS activity and PP2A inhibition synergize in cancer is of fundamental importance as PP2A inhibition is a molecular requirement for RAS-driven cellular transformation. Based on our recent phosphoproteome analysis, we have identified several interesting RAS/PP2A-regulated candidate mechanisms that could have widespread ramifications to cancer biology. Also, recent data from others and us indicate that PP2A reactivation may open entirely new perspectives for treatment of RAS mutant cancer patients with otherwise dismal prognosis.
Turku Bioscience Centre (TBC), University of Turku is a top-quality research center harbouring several research groups with distinguished publication profile (https://bioscience.fi). The centre harbours excellent core facilities facilitating use of world-class state-of-art technologies for all aspects of the project (https://bioscience.fi/services). Furthermore, BioCity Turku umbrella organization offers very high-quality research training including frequent seminars by world recognized speakers. Last but not least, Finland is a country with world´s happiest people and excellent quality of life.
Candidate requirements:
- PhD or MD/PhD (already obtained or soon-to-be)
- Highly motivated person with strong interest in translational cancer research
- Strong experience in cancer research and/or cell biology and signalling demonstrated by at least one first author publication in a relevant journal
- Fluent spoken and written English
Preferrable technical competencies:
- Experience on Crispr/Cas9-mediated genome editing
- Experience on functional genetic screens
- Experience on bioinformatics analysis of large datasets
For further information or inquiries regarding this post, please contact Jukka Westermarck by e-mail: jukwes@utu.fi. Dead-line for sending applications is 30.6.2022 and the position is available starting immediately thereafter. Post starts with a 4-month trial period, and is until the end of June 2024, funded by Jane and Aatos Erkko Foundation. Continuation of the project beyond July 2024 is very likely upon successful completion of the first funding period.
