OPEN PhD POSITION AT UNIVERSITY OF HELSINKI FOLKHÄLSAN INSTITUTE OF
GENETICS
A PhD student position is open for a highly motivated individual to
investigate the relation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and respiratory
chain Complex III dysfunction in liver of a transgenic mouse model for a
mitochondrial disease.
Our group is interested in translational research to elucidate the cellular
function of BCS1L protein (a chaperone for the assembly of respiratory chain
complex III). We have ongoing research activities in a mouse model both in
University of Helsinki and Lund university thus providing an international
education for the doctoral student. The lab is situated within Folkhälsan
Institute of Genetics in Biomedicum Helsinki, Finland. Current projects in
the lab focus on understanding the roles of ROS in disease mechanism of
respiratory chain dysfunction.
We offer a possibility to stay at Biomedical Centrum lab in Lund University,
insight into mitochondrial pathobiology, and an opportunity to learn new
methodology.
A personal research grant is provided for one year.
Successful applicants should have a Masters degree in cell biology,
biochemistry, biosciences or related disciplines (alternatively, the
applicant could start with a pro gradu project that will continue into a PhD
project). Position is available immediately. We are looking for a motivated
candidate interested in experimental animal work (work will include e.g.
handling the mice, genotyping, taking blood samples, and harvesting tissues)
and with willingness for Nordic collaboration.
To apply, email your application, CV, and contact information of one
reference to
Professor Vineta Fellman <mailto:vineta.fellman@helsinki.fi>

and Folkhälsan Institute of Genetics). Additional information about the
research group is available per request. Applicants will be evaluated based
on qualifications and suitability for the project.
