Post-doctoral positions in Strasbourg, France

22.1.2019 | Avoimet työpaikat

Post-doctoral; 24 months (starting in March/April 2019), Strasbourg, France 

Title: New targets and pathways in neuroprotection. 

PROJECT: The project aims at identifying mechanisms of neurodegeneration with the main focus on small bioactive molecules, which deficits were observed during aging and further exacerbated in several neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer or Parkinson disease. Such bioactive molecules may act as ligands for transcription factors and are important for adaptive reprogramming of the organism, but their study is impeded due to lack of appropriate tools. We propose to use newly developed bioprobes to visualize such molecules and study their intracellular traffic between cellular organelles and its relevance for cell physiology and pathology. The same tools will be also employed to study blood-brain-barrier transfer and inter-cellular traffic of such molecules as mechanisms underlying adaptive processes and activity-dependent cellular communication. Studies will be carried out in mouse brain tissue preparations, organotypic and primary cell cultures using in vivo imaging and if necessary high-resolution imaging. Particular attention will go to neuron-neuron and neuron-astrocyte-microglia circuits. 

We are looking for highly motivated post-doctoral fellow, with good English level and background in cellular biology and cellular communication. Sound experience in confocal imaging is required, whereas knowledge of life imaging techniques will be useful. Similarly, good knowledge of primary or cell culture techniques is necessary whereas experience with organotypic cultures will be useful. Although any technical expertise in molecular biology can be acquired in the team, any previous experience in these techniques will be of benefit. The candidate should be willing to bring personal input to the challenging multidisciplinary project, write scientific papers, contribute to preparation of research grants and participate in animating team’s life. The project will be carried out at IGBMC, Strasbourg, which lies in heart of dynamic tri-national region of Alsace and will benefit from proximity and collaborations with research teams in Basel and Freiburg. 

Applicants should submit their complete application file (CV, motivation letter, publication list and contact to at least two reference scientists in one PDF file) by email.

Post-doctoral; 24 months (starting in March/April 2019), Strasbourg, France 

Title: Role of retinoid signaling in the physiology and pathology of basal ganglia 

The project: 

Several lines of evidence indicate that retinoid signaling, best known for its developmental functions, is also critical for homeostasis and neuroprotection of adult nervous system. In particular, abnormal signaling of some retinoid receptors is associated with Huntington or Parkinson diseases and may contribute to their physiopathology whereas point mutations of such receptor(s) are causal factors of rare neurological disorders. The project aims at characterizing the mechanisms through which deficient or excessive retinoid signaling may contribute to neurodegeneration. The project will take advantage of classical and new genetic mouse models of neurodegenerative diseases and will involve genomic and functional studies in primary organotypic or neural cell cultures as well as in vivo analyses in mice with final objective to propose new therapeutic targets and strategies of treatment. The project will be carried out at IGBMC (Strasbourg-Illkirch), an international research institute located in the heart of dynamic research region at crossroads of France, Germany and Switzerland. It will benefit from state-of-the-art infrastructure and international collaborations which include world clinical experts in neurology. 

We are looking for highly motivated post-doctoral fellow with solid research experience in molecular and cellular neurobiology (experience in primary mammalian cell and/or organotypic cultures will be very useful). Experience in mitochondrial biology and calcium signaling will be of great asset. The ability to work in an English speaking team and good communication skills are required. The ideal candidate should be able to bring original input to the 2 year challenging project, write papers and projects, and participate in animating team’s life. 

Applicants should submit their complete application file (CV, motivation letter, publication list and contact to at least two reference scientists) in one PDF file by email.

PhD student position in Professor Annamari Ranki’s group to study targeted treatment of autoimmune disorders (Skin and allergy hospital)

8.1.2019 | Avoimet työpaikat

PhD student position for 4 years is available in the research group led by professor Annamari Ranki to study targeted treatment of autoimmune disorders. The full-time position will start immediately. 

Our research group has facilities both at Biomedicum Helsinki and at the Department of Dermatology and allergology, Skin and allergy hospital, Helsinki University Hospital (https://www.helsinki.fi/en/faculty-of-medicine/departments-of-dermatology-allergology-and-venereology ).

Our  group is funded by the Academy of Finland, Cancer Foundation Finland and Helsinki University Hospital Research Funds. We are part of the Medical Faculty’s Translational Immunology Research Programme as well as participate in multiple collaborations within and outside of Finland. 

We are seeking dedicated and enthusiastic candidates with a Master’s degree in cell/molecular biology, developmental biology, bioengineering, biomedicine, or other appropriate field. The applicant should have practical experience of standard cell biology techniques. Previous experience in molecular biology and gene expression analysis is considered an advantage. We also expect good communication skills (both Finnish and English) and ability to interact efficiently in a team. 

Our overall goal is to define and develop a curative cell-based treatment for the severe multi-organ genetic disease autoimmune-polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis- ectodermal dystrophy. APECED is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the AIRE gene which is the master regulator of immune tolerance, operating both in the thymus and in peripheral lymphoid organs. We currently work with iPSCs derived from APECED patients, correct the mutated gene by lentiviral introduction and in collaboration with international partners aim to redifferentiate the gene-corrected cells to the phenotypes that normally express AIRE. The efficiency and engrafting potential of the gene-corrected cells will be tested in vivo in animal models. 

We will offer a competitive salary based on previous qualifications, experience and personal performance in the position according to University pay-scale. A six-month trial period will be applied.


We  use a wide range of molecular, cellular, and imaging techniques and thus offer a multidisciplinary,  international and inspiring research environment with access to state-of-the art technologies. 

For informal inquiries, please, contact Annika.Hau@helsinki.fi

The deadline for submitting applications is January 28th, 2019, but review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.

Send the application to: Annamari.Ranki@hus.fi  

The application should include the following documents, either in Finnish or in English

1. A motivation letter describing your research interests (max 1 page) 

2. Curriculum vitae and qualifications

3. A complete list of publications.

4. Contact details for two reference persons.
