We at FinVector work in a wide variety of roles. Our team consists of experts and engineers as well as laboratory assistants and actors in administrative positions. FinVector enables employees to perform diverse and responsible tasks in a multidisciplinary environment. It is important for us to develop employees’ own skills and we offer the opportunity to influence work tasks and create one’s own career path. We are particularly comfortable with people who want to develop into top experts in their field.
FinVector is owned by Ferring Ventures and we are located in Kuopio, Finland. We currently employ over 270 experts. We operate as a production unit for both the Group’s own and external customers’ antiviral and gene therapy products.
We are looking for a knowledgeable and growing group of Technicians to our production plant for various Manufacturing operations.
For example, you may have a background as a laboratory assistant, bioanalyst, process worker, or equipment maintainer. We have four teams in production and we are seeking new reinforcements as our operations grow rapidly. In the Buffer team, we prepare all the solutions we use in production, in the Upstream team, we start the production process with cell culture and continue by growing the cells in the bioreactors. During the process, the cells are infected and eventually harvested. From Upstream, the product is transferred to the Downstream team, which in turn purifies the product using chromatographic methods so that the product is finally ready to be filled into glass vials.
You will succeed in the tasks if you are precise and systematic in your work approach and you are not afraid of equipment or challenges / changing situations. We have English as a working language, so you must have a good command of oral and written English. Above all, however, we are looking for nice colleagues with a can-do attitude. We work in 2 shifts and partly also on weekends. In the future work may be done in 3-shifts.
Your employment is permanent and we would like you to start as soon as possible.

We have now an opening for a fixed-term, full-time doctoral researcher position in a research project headed by Professor Lari Lehtiö in the Protein and Structural Biology research unit. The doctoral studies are expected to be completed in four years.
Protein and structural biology is one of the three research focus areas of the Faculty of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine. The Faculty provides a dynamic research surrounding and cutting-edge research infrastructure services to academics and other users in Finland and abroad. It has about 190 employees (including doctoral researchers) of which about half are from outside of Finland.
The host research team also belongs to Biocenter Oulu (
Our team focuses on structure, function and selective inhibition of proteins involved in signaling through ADP-ribosylation – a post translational modification affecting protein stability, function, and interactions in multiple cellular pathways. We develop assays suitable for high-throughput screening of inhibitors and use structural information for more rational design to develop specific inhibitors that can be used as chemical probes to study the functions of the proteins and, in some cases, to validate them as drug targets. Protein X-ray crystallography is our main tool used to understand structure-activity relationships of compounds.
