About the job
The Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences at the University of Helsinki is excited to announce a fixed-term, full-time doctoral researcher position. The role commences on 1.09.2023, with flexibility on the starting date, and extends until 31.08.2027.
We are searching for a highly motivated and dedicated doctoral researcher to contribute to a pivotal project funded by the Academy of Finland. This study aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of acidocalcisome proteins responsible for phosphate regulation in protozoan parasites. We aim to assess these proteins’ potential as drug design targets through detailed structural and functional studies. Our successful candidate will employ state-of-the-art techniques such as x-ray cryo-EM and x-ray crystallography to probe the structure of acidocalcisome proteins and carry out biophysical and both in vitro and in vivo functional studies. Your work could significantly advance scientific understanding and contribute to the development of novel treatments for parasitic diseases like sleeping sickness and leishmaniasis.
Role Requirements
- A Master’s degree or equivalent (e.g., licentiate), or imminent completion of such, preferably in life science, biochemistry, molecular and structural biology, or a related field.
- Strong scientific curiosity, meticulous work ethic, and excellent time management.
- Experience in basic lab techniques, including cloning, protein expression, and protein characterization.
- Prior experience with protein structure determination via x-ray diffraction and/or cryo-EM, cell biology (especially Leishmania or Trypanosoma ), and/or biophysical techniques will be considered beneficial.
- Excellent communication skills in spoken and written English.
- The ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team.
Remuneration And Benefits
The starting salary will be set on level 2 of the national salary scale for teaching and research staff at Finnish universities, with a range of 2300-2700 euros/month (pre-tax).

About the job
The postdoctoral researcher will be appointed for a fixed-term 40 month contract to work in an Academy of Finland -funded project entitled “ Multipurpose fungal biorefinery” (MultiFUN). The position is located in the Food Materials Science research group, led by Professor Kirsi Mikkonen at the Department of Food and Nutrition, one of the six units of the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry.
The appointed researcher will work in collaboration with the other members of the research team within the University of Helsinki including Docent Kristiina Hildén and Docent Pauliina Lankinen, as well as within Aalto University, including Professor in Practice Pekka Oinas. There is an expectation within MultiFUN for a mobility period during the researcher’s appointment.
The MultiFUN concept is to characterize submerged mycelia cultivation as a
multipurpose fungal biorefinery, with a ground up approach to have superior control and understanding of how to control inputs to maximise outputs in an economically feasible way.
Background
The capacity of Earth to regenerate its own resources is reducing due to the exponential growth of the human population. Simultaneously, climate change may cause productivity variations and diminish the total yield of agricultural production. Revolutionary strategies are urgently needed to produce and distribute enough sustainable and nutritious food. One emerging solution is the submerged cultivation of fungal mycelia, offering the potential to increase food productivity locally using fewer resources. Making food production from mycelia efficient and economically viable requires a better understanding and control of the bioprocess parameters and their connection to the fungal metabolism.
Postdoctoral researcher : We are looking for a highly motivated and skilled researcher with a doctoral degree and experience in bioprocess technology, microbiology, chemistry, or relevant fields.
A successful candidate should be able to:
- Identify, design, conduct, and report research on fungal biomass cultivation and characterization.
- Contribute to proposal writing to apply for further research funding.
- Contribute to master/doctoral student supervision and teaching of biomaterial science, technology, or chemistry.
- Engage with the scientific community, research partners and the wider public, internationally and domestically through scientific publications, conference presentations, press releases, blogs etc.
The candidate is expected to have:
Education, Experience And Technical Skills
- A relevant doctoral degree including experience in biomaterial engineering, microbiology, chemistry, or other related fields.
- Fluency in English and excellent writing skills.
- Experience in working with microbial cultures.
- Capacity and mindset to conduct both fundamental and applied research (targeting future commercialization) is beneficial
Personal attributes and competencies
- Excellent analytical and innovative research planning skills.
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, experienced in working within multicultural and multidisciplinary teams.
- High motivation for academic research, having initiative and capable of working independently as well as in team environments.
- Values continuous improvement based on constructive evaluation, self-reflection and learning.
- Flexible mindset and ability to work together and communicate with people from different disciplines.
The salary of the postdoctoral researcher will be based on level 5 of the demands level chart for teaching and research personnel in the salary system of Finnish universities. In addition, the appointee will be paid a salary component based on personal performance. The starting salary of the postdoctoral researcher will be ca. 3400–3600 euros/month, depending on the appointees’ qualifications and experience. A six-month trial period will be applied.
