Vascular
cambium produces xylem (wood) and phloem, and together with the cork
cambium, which produces a protective layer at the surface called
phellem,
they provide thickness to plant organs. The goal of the group has been
to understand the molecular regulation and cellular organization of
vascular cambium. We have been utilizing lineage tracing techniques,
molecular genetics, advanced microscopy and genomics
as approaches to study the cambial cells in the model species Arabidopsis thaliana. Using these techniques, we recently identified stem cell organizer of the vascular cambium (Smetana
et al. Nature 2019).
We are looking for post doc(s) and PhD student(s) to carry out an ERC
Consolidator Grant -funded research line, in which we investigate growth dynamics and regulatory mechanism of the stem cells of cork cambium.We
will also study how the two lateral meristems, cork and vascular cambia, together increase the thickness in plants. More information available in the lab
website.
The topics of research projects will be discussed in detail during the interview of the selected candidates.
Applicants
with strong background in developmental genetics, plant molecular
biology and/or cell biology are encouraged to apply. Good communication

We are recruiting for an exceptional individual to join us as a Postdoctoral Research Assistant within
our team, to study immunometabolic
actions of metformin. The post holder will work on a British Heart
Foundation (BHF) funded project that aims to study ‘immunometabolic’
remodelling of monocyte and macrophage responses by metformin in
cardiovascular disease. The work will mainly involve primary
cell work, including proteomics, signalling analysis and other
approaches to study cellular and molecular biological effects of the
drug on immunity.
Our
work in this area (Circulation, Circulation Research) has established
that anti-inflammatory effects of metformin are exerted irrespective of
diabetes status, through mechanisms that are different
from existing anti-inflammatory drugs. Control of immunity through
changes in metabolism- ‘immunometabolism,’ if it can be better
understood, is recognised as a potential site of therapy even in
nondiabetic age-related cardiovascular disease (CVD). To work
towards this, the purpose of this proposal is to study effects of
metformin on monocyte and macrophage biology, to develop a
mechanism-based understanding of metformin’s anti-inflammatory actions.
Timely insights from the recent CANTOS study, establishing a
CVD group receptive to anti-inflammatory therapy, underlines
translational potential.
You
will be joining a dynamic and growing team working in open-plan lab
space alongside other groups, all of us interested in basic science with
translational potential. We will offer you experience
in supervising students and although the majority of time will be based
in Ninewells, Dundee, the post holder will require to have the ability
to travel flexibly as this post includes a unique research stay in
Finland as part of the group’s interest in internationalisation
of diabetes and cardiovascular disease research networks. Previous
experience in appropriate research techniques is desirable but training
is available.
The
University of Dundee enjoys an international reputation for excellence
that attracts top-class students and academics from across the world –
with over 140 countries represented in the University
community. You will be based at Ninewells Hospital and Medical School,
one of Europe’s largest teaching hospitals where the School of Medicine
provides outstanding opportunities in medical education and training
supported by world class research facilities.
Your priorities will include:
Manage multiple strands of research work to meet deadlines
Prepare progress reports delivering to PIs and collaborators
Day-to-day supervision of students within the group
Write up results for publication
Visit Finland in year 1
Who we’re looking for:
Someone with a PhD or equivalent experience
Highly motivated to publish, already with a major contribution to at least one published paper
Ability/interest in leading a small team (through supervision of students) to achieve research goals
An interest in cardiovascular/diabetes research, ultimately to make life better for patients
Willingness and ability to visit Finland for collaborative research stay
The
calibre of research at Dundee is high, with 95 per cent of staff
working in areas of national or international excellence. Dundee
benefits from a developed network of inter-disciplinary researchers
collaborating across various Schools across our community.
The Atherosclerosis Research
Laboratory at the Wihuri Research Institute, located in Biomedicum
Helsinki in Meilahti, is looking for a highly motivated post-doctoral
researcher.
The Atherosclerosis Research
Laboratory focuses on identifying novel methods to assess
person-to-person differences in various atherogenic properties of
lipoproteins, such as interaction of lipoproteins with proteoglycans
and lipoprotein modification and aggregation. In a recent
hypothesis-generating study we found a link between the presence of
aggregation-prone LDL and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)
death in a small group of patients having established atherosclerosis
(https://academic.oup.com/eurheartj/article/39/27/2562/5049093).
The present research project
aims at confirming this link. In addition, we will examine the metabolic
factors that control LDL composition and aggregation using mouse models
of atherosclerosis, cell culture systems,
and in vitro studies. The ultimate goal of our research is to develop
novel biomarkers that may facilitate identification of patients who are
at increased risk for developing ASCVD.
The Atherosclerosis Research
Laboratory led by Adj.Prof. Katariina Öörni is now seeking a
post-doctoral researcher to participate in the studies. In particular,
we are seeking a researcher with experience in mouse
studies. The successful candidate has also experience in cell culture
methods and knowledge of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism.
Experience and skills:
· Ph.D. in biology, biochemistry, medicine or equivalent sciences
· An excellent research track record
· Experience in mouse studies
· Experience in cell culture
· Knowledge of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism
· Excellent written and spoken English skills
The position is funded by the
Academy of Finland and can be filled immediately. The position is
initially funded for 18 months, but can be extended depending on the
funding.
Please apply by sending motivation letter and CV in a single PDF file by e-mail to Adj. Prof. Katariina Öörni kati.oorni@wri.fiby February 25th. The position will be filled as soon as a suitable candidate is found.
For further information, please contact Katariina Öörni at the above e-mail.
