We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join the AMaRONE project (Risks and Mitigation of Antimicrobial Resistance Across One Health Sectors), funded by the Research Council of Finland. The project investigates antimicrobial resistance (AMR) across the human-animal-environment interface and combines environmental microbiology, bioinformatics, molecular biology, and One Health approaches to identify emerging resistance threats and develop strategies for their mitigation.
Project description
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) across human, animal, and environmental reservoirs remains a major One Health challenge arising from the interconnectedness and complex interactions among these sectors. Resistant bacteria and resistance genes can move between environments, while resistance evolution and transmission can introduce novel genes or clinically relevant hosts into the global AMR pool.
To slow the spread of resistance, preserve antimicrobial efficacy, and protect public health, there is a pressing need for approaches that move beyond surveillance towards proactive mitigation. AMaRONE addresses this challenge by identifying novel AMR genes of greatest concern from environmental microbial communities, validating their resistance phenotypes and mobility through laboratory experiments, and developing preventive mitigation strategies that integrate computational predictions with experimental validation.
The successful candidate will have substantial freedom to shape the scientific direction of their work within the broader objectives of the project.

The Garcia group is looking for a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher with a strong interest in RNA biology and disease mechanisms for two years with the gross month salary range 3736-3837 € and offers support for applications to independent postdoctoral fellowships. The successful candidate will investigate how toxic RNAs disrupt cellular energy metabolism and drive progressive dysfunction in neurodegenerative and neuromuscular disorders. The researcher will be based at the Institute of Biotechnology, University of Helsinki. The Institute provides state-of-the-art research infrastructures and a vibrant international scientific community.
About the project
Repeat sequences are widespread in genomes and inherently unstable; changes in nucleotide repeat length that result in expansions cause the production of RNAs bearing expanded repeats. RNAs with expanded repeats are intrinsically toxic and drive widespread molecular and cellular dysfunction. These RNAs contribute to a growing number of neurodegenerative and neuromuscular disorders, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and myotonic dystrophy (DM). Despite their importance in disease, the mechanisms through which repeat-expansion RNAs drive progressive organismal dysfunction remain poorly understood. Our laboratory aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms through which toxic, repeat-bearing RNAs drive cellular and organismal dysfunction. We combine genetic, molecular, and physiological approaches to identify and dissect the pathways that mediate these effects.
The successful candidate will conduct original research using the model system Caenorhabditis elegans together with mammalian cell systems to study how RNAs with expanded nucleotide repeats cause broad cellular energy metabolism disruptions. The project focuses on identifying early metabolomic disruptions, followed by the genetic and biochemical dissection of the mechanisms underlying these alterations. The project takes advantage of recent transcriptomic and imaging data, which identified a progressive metabolic dysregulation linked to loss of organismal fitness.
The postdoctoral researcher will have the opportunity to develop an independent research profile, collaborate with international partners, and contribute to high-impact publications.
Requirements:
Candidates must have:
- PhD degree (obtained or expected) in Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Genetics, or related Life Sciences fields.
- Experience in RNA-based methodology such as RNA isolation, quality control, gene expression analysis, RNA sequencing, or related approaches.
- The ability to work both independently and as a team member.
- Excellent written and oral communication skills in English.
Desirable qualifications:
- Experience with microscopy, transcriptomic analyses, or bioinformatics approaches.
- Experience working with C. elegans is a plus but not required.
The chosen applicant is expected to reside in Finland while employed by the University of Helsinki.
We offer
The salary follows the Finnish university salary system, requirement level 5, with a personal performance component on top, giving a monthly gross salary of approximately 3736-3837 €.
The appointment is for 2 years with a 6-month trial period, starting 1st of November or as agreed. We offer mentoring and active support for applications to independent postdoctoral fellowships and other external funding opportunities, together with career development opportunities and access to expertise in a broad range of experimental and analytical methodologies.
