Tohtorikoulutettavan / projektitutkijan tehtävä dosentti Kaisa Ivaska-Papaioannoun tutkimusryhmässä
Turun yliopiston biolääketieteen laitoksessa on haettavana
tohtorikoulutettavan määräaikainen tehtävä dosentti Ivaska-Papaioannoun
tutkimusryhmässä. Tehtävä sisältyy Suomen Akatemian rahoittamaan
tutkimushankkeeseen, jossa tutkitaan luuston erittämien
säätelytekijöiden merkitystä energia-aineenvaihdunnassa.
Luu on metabolisesti aktiivinen kudos, joka erittää endokriinisesti
vaikuttavia tekijöitä eli osteokiinejä. Osteokiinit säätelevät mm.
glukoosiaineenvaihduntaa eläinmalleissa, mutta niiden merkitys ihmisellä
tunnetaan heikosti. Tutkimusprojektin tavoitteena on tunnistaa
verenkierrossa ja luuytimessä esiintyviä osteokiinejä ja tutkia niiden
säätelyä, merkitystä ja diagnostista käyttöä.
Työtehtäviin sisältyy soluviljelyä, molekyylibiologiaa,
proteiinianalytiikkaa sekä potilasnäytteiden ja koe-eläinten käsittelyä.
Kaikki aiempi työkokemus ja vahva osaaminen edellä mainituista
tekniikoista/menetelmistä katsotaan hakijalle eduksi. Ylempi
korkeakoulututkinto esimerkiksi solubiologian, biolääketieteen tai
biokemian alalta antaa parhaimmat edellytykset tehtävässä menestymiseen.
Turun yliopiston johtosäännön mukaan tohtorikoulutettavan tehtävään
otettavalta edellytetään ylempää korkeakoulututkintoa ja hyväksyttyä
tutkimussuunnitelmaa. Lisäksi edellytetään korkeakoulututkinnon
suorittamisen yhteydessä tai muutoin osoitettua kykyä ja motivoitumista
jatko-opintoihin ja tohtorin tutkinnon suorittamiseen
tutkimussuunnitelman mukaisesti. Mikäli tehtävään valittavalla ei ole
tohtorintutkinnon opinto-oikeutta häntä tehtävään valittaessa, tehtävä
täytetään aluksi nimikkeellä projektitutkija.
Tehtävässä noudatetaan kuuden (6) kuukauden koeaikaa.
Tehtävä täytetään 1.1.2020 alkaen tai sopimuksen mukaan. Tehtävä
täytetään 2-vuotiskaudeksi. Projektitutkijan/tohtorikoulutettavan
tehtäväkohtainen palkkaus määräytyy yliopistojen palkkausjärjestelmän
mukaisesti. Väitöskirjaa päätyönään tekevien henkilöiden osalta
lähtökohtana on, että palkkaus määritellään työsuhteen alussa
vaativuustasolle 2. Palkka on alkuvaiheessa vähintään 2155,29 e/kk.
Tehtävään on sähköinen haku (https://www.utu.fi/en/university/come-work-with-us/open-vacancies). Haku päättyy perjantaina 29.11.2019 (klo 23:59). Hakemukseen

specific expression, eQTL, differential expression, cell type
decomposition, as well as the interpretation of results
• Comparison and integration of international and Finnish transcriptomic resources
• Integration and joint analysis of transcriptomic data with genotype and phenotype information
• Scientific writing and communication
• Participate in designing experiments and analyses
Qualifications and experience:
• Master’s/Bachelor’s degree (or soon graduating) in bioinformatics,
genetics, computational biology, molecular biology (with strong
computational skills), computer sciences, or other relevant quantitative
field. Ph.D. is an asset.

Open
position for a Research Fellow (Post-Doctoral) in the O’Driscoll Group
at the School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences and Trinity
Biomedical
Sciences Institute.
Our
research group (the O’Driscoll group) at Trinity College Dublin has
extensive experience in research of exosomes and other extracellular
vesicles (collectively termed EVs). EVs are emerging as important
players in cell-to-cell communication under physiological and
pathological circumstances. Some studies have suggested significantly
more EVs in cancer patients’ blood compared to healthy controls;
other have not. We hypothesis that this conflict in observation may be
due to EVs’ heterogenous nature. Here we will more comprehensively
investigate this. In vitro and in vivo studies across
several solid tumour types implicate EVs released from
cancer cells as causally involved in invasion, angiogenesis, metastasis
and drug-resistance. Previous attempts to block EV release, and so these
consequences, have been hampered by the approaches used also affecting
EV release from normal cells that may be
important for physiological events. However, we have now established
that the microenvironment of the tumour substantially contributes to EV
release. This programme will thus investigate this, in efforts to
prevent metastasis and drug-resistance. But not all
EVs are bad! We have also successfully isolated EVs from normal
mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with potential as drug/miRNA delivery
vehicles. This will be further explored.
The Post-Doctoral Fellow
appointed to this post will conduct cellular and molecular research
related to this programme, assist with the day-to-day running of this
project, assist with supervising the research of
PhD students, assist with preparing timely reports for IRC and other
appropriate forms of dissemination from this study. The candidate will
hold a PhD in a pharmacology, bio-engineering, biotechnology,
biochemistry, immunology, molecular biology, biotechnology or pharmacy.
