Project description:
The PhD project will focus on assessing the impact of lifestyle intervention on blood microsampling metabolite composition when compared to conventional plasma samples. The aim is to find robust biomarker candidates that would readily reflect the metabolic effect of the intervention and the responsiveness of the individual to the lifestyle intervention. The student will work on optimizing the analytics based on the inter-laboratory comparison of the various blood microsampling home-collection devices. The samples to be collected from the lifestyle intervention will be assessed with the chosen collection method and optimized liquid chromatography mass spectrometry conditions. The impact of the lifestyle will be assessed by the non-targeted metabolite profiling approach, as well as compound-centric investigation of target metabolites that have been linked with dietary and exercise response and reflecting also the composition and function of gut microbiota.
We offer an exciting position and a chance to do research in an intersection between industry and academia. Afekta Technologies Ltd. is a science driven company established in 2017. Afekta offers metabolomics analysis services for various research purposes across life sciences. We have specialized in metabolomics analyses related to food, nutrition, and gut microbiota. Afekta has experience in being a beneficiary in several Horizon 2020 projects including a previous Marie-Sklodowska-Curie Doctoral Network action (MSCA-ITN-ETN-action BestTreat). To learn more about Afekta please visit www.afekta.com.
Academic studies related to the position will be done in the University of Eastern Finland (UEF), which will also award the PhD. UEF is a multidisciplinary university with a strong focus on life sciences. UEF has around 16,000 students and 3,000 staff members. Office and laboratory spaces of Afekta Technologies are right next to the UEF campus in Kuopio.

The University of Helsinki is a leading university in Nordics and Europe and one of the top 100 international universities in the world. Doctoral researcher position is available in the Translational Pain Research group at Department of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, led by Academy of Finland Research Fellow Dr. Vinko Palada.Dr. Palada s team investigates the bidirectional relationship between sleep and pain and circadian regulation of chronic pain by using the state-of-the-art methods such as high-throughput omics, molecular biology, drug library screens and the functional studies in experimental models. This is a new and exciting research field, with the goals to revolutionize our understanding of pain mechanisms and to develop novel therapies for pain relief. The group closely collaborates with Helsinki University Hospital and Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden. In 2022, Finland has been ranked as the happiest country in the world for 5th time in a row according to the annual World Happiness Report and was recently rated as the best country in the world for expat families.
Job Description
Neuropathic pain affects up to 8% of the general population and is one of the most challenging pain conditions to treat due to poor efficacy of the currently available drugs and comorbidities, particularly sleep disorders, which are insufficiently addressed in pain management. On the molecular level, both sleep and pain are under circadian control. As adaptation to 24h environment on Earth, our internal circadian clocks are reset daily to precisely 24h and disruptions in this pattern have been reported in sleep disorders, frequent in chronic pain. However, it is currently not known whether the clocks are disrupted also in painful conditions. The main aim is to access the effects of circadian disruption on pain intensity both in experimental models and in clinical cohorts. This may allow to establish the novel chronotherapeutic approaches for pain relief.
Key Requirements
We invite applications from highly qualified applicants with a MSc degree in neuroscience, biology and/or pharmacy/pharmacology. Previous experience in sleep and circadian research, expertise in animal work, EEG recordings, sleep scoring, surgical skills and behavioral tests are considered a strong merit for this position. Excellent communication and writing skills in English and ability to work in the international team setting are expected.
Application Requirements
Please send your application including a detailed CV (with a date of thesis defense, title of the thesis, previous academic/work positions, current position, academic distinctions and list of peer-reviewed publications), motivation letter (1 page) and three reference contacts as a single PDF file to the submission portal. The successful candidate is expected to apply for doctoral study rights in January 2023, for doctoral programme requirements please check the following link: https://studies.helsinki.fi/instructions/doctoral-study-rights-and-duration-studies
Contract And Work Benefits
Employment will start on January 1st 2023 as initially a 2 year position with a possibility of prolongation. For more information about working at the University of Helsinki and living in Finland, please see https://www.helsinki.fi/en/university/working-at-the-university.
