Subject: [Bco] PhD-student/post doctoral position at the Institute of Biotechnology, Helsinki

A PhD-student/post doctoral position is available at the Institute of Biotechnology, University of Helsinki, in the Nuclear Actin lab, headed by Dr. Maria Vartiainen.

Our laboratory is studying the role of actin and actin-binding proteins in the nucleus, especially in the context of regulating gene expression. Actin cytoskeleton plays important roles in many cell biological processes, and defects in its regulation are associated with many diseases, including cancer. The project will involve the use of a wide range of biochemical and cell biological methods with strong emphasis on advanced live-cell imaging techniques. We are looking for enthusiastic and hard-working candidates; previous experience in cell culture, molecular biology and light microscopy techniques would be an advantage. Salary will be based on the University salary scheme for teaching and research personnel, and composed of both task related and personal performance components. Starting date is negotiable. Applications, including CV and contact information of at least one referee, should be sent (before 30.9.2010) preferably by email.
