2 Postdoctoral researchers in Molecular Plant Physiology and Biochemistry – University of Helsinki

https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/3791297414

About the job

The University of Helsinki Organismal and Evolutionary Biology Research Programme and the research groups of Prof. Jaakko Kangasjärvi , Dr. Maija Sierla and Dr. Cezary Waszczak are seeking to hire two highly motivated Postdoctoral Researchers to study Arabidopsis thaliana guard cell signalling.

Project Descriptions

The projects aim at molecular-level understanding of guard cell signalling and stomatal function in response to environmental stimuli. We also address connections between stomatal and vascular function. We use forward- and reverse-genetics, interactomics, and phosphoproteomics approaches coupled with plant physiology, molecular and cell biology and biochemistry to identify new components in guard cell signalling networks and further characterize the components we have previously identified.

Project 1: We have recently conducted a forward genetic screen aiming at saturation of Arabidopsis thaliana guard cell signalling network. Through an ozone-sensitivity approach combined with whole-rosette gas exchange analysis we identified over 50 novel mutants impaired in stomatal closure ( Sierla et al., 2018 ; Takahashi et al., 2022 ; Waszczak et al., 2023 ). One of the successful candidates will be involved in mapping and functional characterization of the newly identified mutants. This project will be performed in close collaboration between research groups of Prof. Kangasjärvi, Dr Maija Sierla and Dr Cezary Waszczak.

Project 2: We are using interactomics (Co-IP and TurboID) and phosphoproteomics approaches, and suppressor mutant screens with known stomatal regulators to further characterize the guard cell signalling pathways regulating stomatal movements in response to both abiotic and biotic stimuli. We also investigate the coordination of stomatal and vascular function. Our main focus is on the receptor-like pseudokinase GHR1 ( Sierla et al., 2018 ; Hõrak et al., 2016 ) and its novel interactors. One of the successful candidates will lead some of these research lines based on their expertise and interest in the group of Dr Maija Sierla.

The candidates will be integrated into an international research team of experts in plant stress biology and environmental signalling and participate in extensive collaborations, including mobility exchanges within Europe.

Qualifications:

• doctoral degree in molecular or cell biology, plant biology, biochemistry or other relevant field
• experience in plant physiology, molecular plant sciences and/or biochemistry (proteomics, interactomics, phosphoproteomics, kinase assays)
• ability to conceive, execute, and complete research projects
• creativity and independent thinking
• excellent written and verbal communication skills

Tutkijatohtori / erikoistutkija B-solujen ja virusantigeenien tutkimukseen – Turun yliopisto

https://duunitori.fi/tyopaikat/tyo/tutkijatohtori-erikoistutkija-b-solujen-ja-virusantigeenien-tutkimukseen-stsur-17666358

Työpaikkakuvaus

Dosentti Pieta Mattilan tutkimusryhmään haetaan tutkijatohtoria/erikoistutkijaa projektiin, jossa selvitetään virusantigeenien prosessointia ja esittelyä B-soluissa, tavoitteena ymmärtää paremmin tämän prosessin roolia ja siihen vaikuttavia tekijöitä rokotevasteessa. Valitun hakijan toivotaan aloittavan 1.3.2024 (tai sopimuksen mukaan). Tehtävä täytetään kaksivuotisena, mutta on mahdollista, että tehtävä jatkuu.

Ryhmämme tutkii B lymfosyyttien aktivaatiota, mikä mahdollistaa suojaavien korkean affiniteetin omaavien vasta-aineiden muodostumisen. Käytämme paljon moderneja mikroskopian ja proteomiikan työkaluja yhdistettynä soluaktivaatiokokeisiin sekä hiirimalleihin, joiden avulla pyrimme paremmin ymmärtämään B-solujen aktivaation säätelyä. Läpimenevänä tavoitteenamme on löytää uusia kohteita lääkekehittelyyn B-solulähtöisiin lymfoomiin tai immuunijärjestelmän häiriöihin, kuten immuunipuutoksiin tai autoimmuunisairauksiin, ja toisaalta löytää työkaluja tehokkaampien rokotteiden kehittelyyn.

Lisätietoa ryhmästämme löytyy: https://mattilalab.utu.fi

Tehtävästä

Palkattava henkilö tulee työskentelemään osana EU-rahoitettua (Horizon Europe) projektia Yellow4FLAVI ( Deconstructing the protective immunity of yellow fever virus 17D to inform flavivirus vaccine design ). Yellow4FLAVI konsortio käsittää 13 partneria 7 eri maasta. Konsortiota koordinoi Prof. Giovanna Barba-Spaeth Institute Pasteurista, (Pariisi, Ranska). Meidän osuutemme on tutkia keltakuumeviruksen antigeenin prosessointia ja esittelyä B-soluissa. Työ sisältää erilaisten mikroskopiatekniikoiden käyttöä ja kehittelyä sekä soluaktivaatiokokeiden pystyttämistä kyseistä tarkoitusta varten tiiviissä yhteistyössä Ranskassa ja Saksassa sijaitsevien kollaboraattoreidemme kanssa.
Yellow4FLAVI projektin taustaa hieman: Aiemmin suurimmaksi osaksi tropiikkiin liitetyt flavivirukset, kuten Zika, dengue, Länsi-Niilinvirus ja keltakuume ovat laajenemassa globaaliksi terveysuhaksi. Ilmastonmuutos ja kaupungistuminen ovat edesauttaneet viruksia levittävien hyttysten alueiden laajenemista ja Euroopassa onkin viime vuosina havaittu useita paikallisesti leviäviä epidemioita. Keltakuumevirus 17D (YF17D) on heikennetty viruskanta, jolla saavutetaan rokotevaste, joka on ylitse muiden tehokkuudessa ja turvallisuudessa. Rokotteen menestyksestä huolimatta emme ymmärrä, mikä tekee siitä niin erinomaisen. Yellow4FLAVI konsortio pyrkii ymmärtämään näitä mekanismeja, yhdistäen viruksen rakenteen saavutettuun immuunivasteeseen, tavoitteena oppia kehittämään parempia rokotteita myös muita flaviviruksia vastaan.
