About the job
The University of Eastern Finland is inviting applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher position on the Kuopio Campus. The position will be filled for a two-year term from 1 October 2024 onwards (or as agreed) with the option to extend for an additional 1–2-year. Please find more information below and submit your application by 5 August 2024.
Role and salary
The Cardiovascular Genomics Lab (Kaikkonen Lab) at the A.I. Virtanen Institute, University of Eastern Finland is seeking a highly motivated and skilled Postdoctoral Researcher. This position is part of an ERC-funded project entitled SECRET that aims to unravel the complex genetic and gene regulatory mechanisms underlying atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).
The SECRET project focuses on exploring the functional impacts of specific ASCVD-associated cis-regulatory variants identified in GWAS studies. The project will initially screen how these variants influence gene regulation in key vascular cells—endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells. Following the identification of key regulatory variants, further experiments will manipulate these genes directly using CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) and CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) to observe the effects on broader gene expression patterns and cellular responses. The generated data will be used to identify convergences around gene regulatory networks, helping to uncover the mechanisms, functions, and pathways that underlie ASCVD risk.
The position is being offered as a 2-year appointment with a 1-2 year extension option. The position is filled for a fixed-term due to it pertaining to a specific project task. A probationary period is applied to all new members of the staff.
The salary of the position is determined in accordance with the salary system of Finnish universities. The salary comprises two components: a job-related salary element and a personal salary element. In this position, the job requirement level is based on levels 5-6 on the job requirement level chart for teaching and research staff. The personal salary element is 6–50% of the job-related salary element. Depending on the personal salary element, the salary will be approximately 3,500 -4,500 €/month.
Our requirements and expectations
We invite applications from talented individuals who are highly motivated and passionate about making a transformative impact in cardiovascular research.
Requirements
- A Ph.D. or equivalent in a field relevant to the proposed project
- Research Experience: Demonstrable experience in research, preferably within the field of cardiovascular research, genetics, genomics, biotechnology, molecular biology, bioinformatics or a closely related area.

Apply latest by 16th of August
About the job
The Department of Biological and Environmental Science is currently seeking to recruit staff to the position of Doctoral Researcher in Microbial Epigenetics, starting on beginning of September 2024 or as agreed, for a maximum fixed term of four years.
The genetics, epigenetics, and evolution group lead by Ilkka Kronholm studies the properties of mutations and spontaneous epigenetic changes, parental effects, and genetic architecture of complex traits. Our research questions are focused on understanding how different intrinsic and extrinsic factors affect evolutionary adaptation. As model systems we use bacteria, fission yeast, and the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa.
The researcher will join a Research Council of Finland funded project that studies the role of adenosine methylation in adaptation. Studies in evolutionary epigenetics have largely focused on cytosine methylation in eukaryotes. However, in bacteria adenosine methylation is an important epigenetic mechanism that is known to play a role for example, in bacterial phase variation. We have observed that adenosine methylation changes happen when bacterial populations adapt to a new environment, see for example: Bruneaux et al. 2021. Roles of adenine methylation and genetic mutations in adaptation to different temperatures in Serratia marcescens. Epigenetics 17: 861-881 https://doi.org/10.1080/15592294.2021.1966215 and Bruneaux et al. 2022. The effect of a temperature-sensitive prophage on the evolution of virulence in an opportunistic bacterial pathogen. Molecular Ecology 31: 5402-18 https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.16638.
In this project we will study adenosine methylation changes in more detail and estimate genome wide the rates of spontaneous adenosine methylation changes using mutation accumulation experiments and Nanopore / PacBio sequencing. Our group has previously done mutation accumulation experiments in fungi see: Villalba de la Peña et al. 2023. Chromatin structure influences rate and spectrum of spontaneous mutations in Neurospora crassa. Genome Research 33: 1-13 https://doi.org/10.1101/gr.276992.122.
In this project we will also characterise different adenosine methyltransferases present in bacterial genomes, and investigate whether adenosine methylation plays any role in antibiotic resistance and its evolution. For general background on adenosine methylation in bacteria see: Sánchez-Romero & Casadesús 2020. The bacterial epigenome. Nature Reviews Microbiology 18: 7-20 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41579-019-0286-2.
The doctoral researcher is expected to contribute to the current project, plan and perform research, write manuscripts and finally a PhD thesis. While the major outlines of the project are fixed, it is possible to tailor parts of the project according to the interests of the candidate, within the overall framework of the project. Participating in limited amount of teaching can also be arranged.
Apply between 25 June 2024 and 9 August 2024 11:45 (Europe/Helsinki)
Who we are looking for
You are the person we are looking for if you have a master’s degree in microbiology, evolutionary biology, genetics, or a related discipline with a strong interest in microbial or evolutionary genetics. While previous experience with microbes is not required, it can be an advantage. Experience in analysis of sequencing (NGS) data can also be an advantage, as well as good computational skills and solid understanding of statistics, and in particular the R environment. Good written and oral communication skills in English are required.
The duties, qualification requirements and language skills of a Doctoral Researcher are stipulated by the University of Jyväskylä Regulations and language skills guidelines. The MSc degree required for the position must have been completed before starting the position. Doctoral Researcher needs to be also enrolled in the doctoral programme which can be applied from the Faculty of Mathematics and Science after selection for the position. A trial period of six months will be used in the beginning of the employment.
Benefits
At the University of Jyväskylä, you are a recognized member of our community with an ample opportunity to be drawn into international research. You get to participate in our international and multidisciplinary community, where everybody’s welfare is essential. You will work in an inspiring and lively campus area and an environment that supports a healthy and active lifestyle.
Finland has a high standard of living with healthcare, free schooling (also in English), affordable childcare, and good family benefits. The city of Jyväskylä is located in central Finland amidst Finnish lakes and has excellent opportunities for different nature, outdoor, and sports activities. It is a major educational center, whose large student population is responsible for a vibrant cultural scene. To find useful information about the University of Jyväskylä, the City of Jyväskylä, and living in Finland, see the University’s International Staff Guide.
The initial annual salary will be approximately 29,000 EUR (gross income, including a holiday bonus). With progress of the thesis work, the salary will be revised in accordance with the Collective Agreement of Finnish Universities.
Please attach the following documents to the online application form:
- Curriculum vitae, composed according to good scientific practice and considering the template for researcher´s curriculum vitae by The Finnish Advisory Board on Research Integrity and including contact information of two people willing to provide a reference.
- Cover letter explaining your motivation and research interests.
- Relevant certificates / diplomas.
Please submit your application at the latest by 9th of August 2024 11:45 pm (GMT +2) using the online application form.
Eligible candidates will be evaluated based on the submitted documents following the recommendations for the responsible evaluation of a researcher in Finland. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for a personal interview. For further details, please contact: Associate Professor Ilkka Kronholm, ilkka.kronholm@jyu.fi.
We value equality and diversity in our work community and encourage qualified applicants to apply for these positions.
