The Organismal and Evolutionary Biology Research Programme invites applications for a
POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER
in plant molecular and cell biology to study stomatal function and vascular water transport and the role of the receptor-like pseudokinase GHR1 and its novel interactors in these processes. We have shown that GHR1 is a central regulator of stomatal closure that likely acts as a scaffold that gathers together the molecular machinery that drives stomatal movements. We have identified eg. ion and water channels and signalling molecules in the GHR1 complex. This project aims to characterize the molecular networks through which GHR1 regulates stomatal function. We have also shown that GHR1 regulates water transport in the vasculature and the project additionally aims to decipher how stomatal function and regulation of water transport are connected at the molecular and whole plant level.
We are looking for a highly-motivated candidate with a doctoral degree in molecular or cell biology, plant biology, biochemistry or other relevant field. Experience in molecular plant sciences and biochemistry is considered an advantage. We seek a candidate who is able to conceive, execute, and complete research projects, think independently and creatively, and who has excellent written and verbal communication skills. The candidate should work well in a team as she/he will be integrated into an international research team of experts in plant stress biology and participate in extensive collaborations, including mobility exchanges within Europe. The project is funded by the Academy of Finland and a doctoral student is also being recruited. The background and interests of the successful candidates will determine their specific lines of research.
The starting date is 1.1.2021 but can be negotiated. The position is funded for three years with a possibility for extension. The starting salary will be ca. 3300 – 3800 euros/month, depending on the appointee’s qualifications and experience. There will be a trial period of six months in the beginning.
Applications should include the following documents as a single pdf file: motivation letter expressing your interest in and suitability for the project (max 1 page), CV (max 3 pages) and publication list. Include also contact information of two persons who can provide a reference letter based on request.
Please submit your application using the University of Helsinki Recruitment System via the Apply link. Applicants who are employees of the University of Helsinki are requested to leave their application via the SAP HR portal. Deadline for applications is 15th of September, 2020.

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER
The Varjosalo lab has a longstanding interest in the global and comprehensive understanding of how key cellular signaling molecules; protein kinases, protein phosphatases and transcription factors mediate their signaling potential and how the signaling is changed in diseases in the immunology and oncology axis, and more recently Covid-19. For this purpose, we have developed experimental and computational methods to identify the protein-interactions formed by these signaling molecules. Additionally, we employ quantitative mass spectrometry -based proteomics to assess the protein abundance changes, as well as phosphorylation status of the tissues/cells. Furthermore, combining the data from the different sets of ‘omics’ data (proteomics, HTS and HiSeq), allows us to generate global and systems level understanding on how disease-causing mutations mediate their effects, also enabling the development of therapeutic or diagnostic approaches.
We are seeking a post doc that has extensive practical experience in standard biochemistry/molecular biology/cell biological methods, ideally encompassing proteomics and microscopic techniques and/or bioinformatics. The ideal candidate is an adaptable team-player with excellent communication skills, both oral and written, and good organizational skills.
This position will provide multiple opportunities for collaborations with potential lab visits abroad and cross-disciplinary scientific exchange, when applicable. An attitude to drive own research and work in an intra and inter team fashion is highly appreciated. In return, the candidate is offered access to a wide variety of methodologies and advanced techniques, appropriate supervision and help in career development.

The position is initially limited to 2 years with a possibility of extension starting from October 2020. A trial period of 6 months will be applied, and the salary will be based on the Universities salary scheme for teaching and research personnel composed of both task specific and personal performance components.
The deadline for the applications is 25th of September, but the position will be filled immediately once a suitable candidate has been identified.
Application should include the following documents as a single pdf file: CV, list of publications, motivation letter including a description of your research interests, and the names and telephone numbers of at least two referees.
Please submit your application, together with the required attachments, through the University of Helsinki electronic recruitment system by clicking on the ‘Apply for job’ button.

Doctoral Student
The ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 is currently rapidly spreading worldwide to over 180 countries, including Finland. To date, no specific antiviral drugs have been developed for SARS-CoV-2. Drug discovery is hindered by the fact that viruses do not have their own metabolism, but are dependent on the host. This project is part of a consortia grant funded by the Academy of Finland, aiming to fight the ongoing pandemic of COVID-19. The project is a combination of modern technologies used to study proteomics and genomics. The candidate will apply the interaction proteomics to construct a comprehensive virus-host protein interaction network and identify the potential protein targets for testing the available drug(s) against all possible variants or mutations of SARS-COV-2. The pipeline you will set up is important not only for the SARS-COV-2 but also for many other newly emerging viruses of interest.
We are looking for a highly-motivated candidate with a master’s degree in biology, biochemistry, biotechnology or other relevant fields. We expect the candidate to have practical experience with “wet lab” work and strong interest in the development and application of modern instrumentation to study host-pathogen interaction. Experience in proteomics is considered an advantage. The candidate should work well in a team as she/he will be integrated into an international research team of experts in system biology. The working language in the group is English.
The appointee is expected to work full time on the PhD thesis and to complete their thesis and the associated studies in four years. The successful applicant will apply to be a Ph.D. student in the appropriate Faculty (such as the Faculty of Medicine). PhD degree consists of the student’s research project and studies specific to the research field, as well as transferable skills training.
The position is available from September 2020. A trial period of 6 months will be applied, and the salary will be based on the Universities salary scheme for teaching and research personnel composed of both task specific and personal performance components.
The deadline for the applications is 25th of September, but the position will be filled immediately once a suitable candidate has been identified.
Application should include the following documents as a single pdf file: CV, list of publications, motivation letter including a description of your research interests, and the names contact information of two referees.
