Position for PhD (or soon-to-be) is available in the laboratory of Professor Jukka Westermarck at Turku Bioscience, University of Turku, Turku, Finland. We are looking for highly motivated researcher with PhD degree to join our dynamic research group broadly focused on very exciting therapeutic potential of phosphatases for cancer therapy (https://bioscience.fi/research/cancer-cell-signaling/profile/).
Glioblastoma is a devastating cancer type for which there are only very limited therapy options. Particular challenges related glioblastoma therapies are its heterogeneity, and high intrinsic therapy resistance of glioma stem cells. The research group of Professor Westermarck has recently identified novel therapeutic opportunities for killing the therapy-resistant cancer cells in vivo, based on pharmaceutical reactivation of tumor suppressor Protein Phosphatase 2A (PP2A), and its combinations with targeted therapies (Kaur et al., Cancer Res., 2016; Kauko et al., Science Translational Medicine, 2018; Merisaari et al., Brain Communications, 2020). Based on these discoveries, the new project will develop and assess preclinical glioblastoma combination therapies by using glioma stem cell bearing intracranial in vivo glioblastoma models. Therefore, successful applicants should be well-acquainted with modern cancer research techniques involving mouse work and tissue analysis. In addition, we value highly good English language skills, and team-working spirit. In the selection process we value greatly applicants with track record indicative of competence in independent scientific thinking and project management.
Turku Bioscience Centre is a top-quality research center harbouring several research groups with distinguished publication profile (https://bioscience.fi). The centre harbours excellent core facilities (https://bioscience.fi/services/). The working language in the research group, and in the institute, is English. Furthermore, BioCity Turku umbrella organization offers very high-quality research training including e.g. frequent seminars by world recognized speakers. Turku (https://kissmyturku.com) is a charming medieval city in South-West coast of Finland with good connections to Helsinki and Stockholm.
Candidate requirement wish-list in nutshell:
· A relevant Doctoral Degree (or soon-to-be)
· At least one first author publication in high-quality journal
· Highly motivated person with strong interest in translational cancer research
· Hands-on experience in mouse work is a clear asset.
For inquiries regarding this post or application process, please contact Jukka Westermarck by e-mail: jukwes@utu.fi.
The deadline for applications is 31st of May 2020 and due to Covid-19 situation the position starting date is negotiable. Position is funded by Sigrid Juselius Foundation and is until 30th of April, 2023. The selected applicant will be receiving a monthly personal grant for post-doctoral research.

A three-year full time PhD Research Fellowship in Extracellular Vesicles and Immunotherapy (position code 1017) is available at the Department of Pharmacology, Institute of Clinical Medicine, The Faculty of Medicine, University of Oslo (UiO).
More about the position
The candidate will work on a project to develop extracellular vesicles from NK cells as nanovehicles for cancer therapy. The project is funded by the Norwegian Research Council’s NANO2021 progam. NK cells are increasingly exploited in immunotherapeutic therapies against cancers, due to their broad recognition of stress-induced self proteins on the surface of cancer cells. As NK cells have poor ability to infiltrate solid tumors, we will exploit the possibility to utilize NK-cell derived exosomes as a therapeutic product, with the hypothesis that NK-exosomes loaded with cytolytic cargo can infiltrate solid tumors. The work will involve design and production of an optimal NK-exosomal product, and testing using in vitro and in vivo cancer models. The work includes in vitro culture of primary human cells and cell lines, molecular biology, diverse immunological assays advanced flow cytometry, tumor spheroid models, and in vivo experimentation. The candidate is expected to collaborate with national/international partners and be prepared to travel.
The candidate will work in the research group of professor Marit Inngjerdingen at Department of Pharmacology, Institute of Clinical Medicine. The Inngjerdingen research group is focusing on innate lymphocytes and how they may control inflammation and cancer.
The applicant must, in collaboration with her/his supervisor, within 3 months after employment, have worked out a complete project description to be attached to the application for admission to the doctoral program.
The research fellow must take part in the Faculty of Medicine approved PhD program and is expected to complete the projectwithin the set fellowship period. The main purpose of the fellowship is research training leading to the successful completion of a PhD degree.
Qualification requirements
Master degree-level education or equivalent within the fields of immunology, cell biology, or molecular biology.
Experience with cell culture, flow cytometry, and/or immunological techniques is an advantage.

Tehtävään vaadittavasta kielitaidosta on säädetty valtioneuvoston asetuksella 770/2009. Yliopiston opetus- ja tutkimustehtävää hoitavalta vaaditaan, että hän hallitsee sen kielen, suomen tai ruotsin, jolla hänen on annettava opetusta. Tiedekunnan dekaani voi myöntää erivapauden yliopistoasetuksen kielitaitovaatimuksiin.
Hakijoiden opetusansioita arvioitaessa otetaan huomioon hakijan opetuskokemus, pedagoginen koulutus ja muut opetustoimessa saavutetut ansiot. Tutkimusansioiden osalta huomioidaan hakijan tieteellinen tutkimustyö ja näkemys oman tutkimuksen tekemisestä ja suuntaamisesta tässä työtehtävässä.
Hakemusasiakirjojen lisäksi hakijalta odotetaan lyhyttä yhteenvetoa hakijan tutkimuskokemuksesta, ja tutkimusosaamisen mahdollisesta integraatiosta Biolääketieteen yksikön tutkimustoimintaan (http://www.uef.fi/fi/web/biomedicine/tutkimus).
Tehtävä täytetään määräajalle 1.6.2020 – 31.5.2023. Määräaikaisuuden perusteena on koulutusohjelman rakenteellinen kehittäminen ja siihen liittyvä mahdollinen tehtävien uudelleen organisointi.
