A PhD student position: Imaging epithelial morphogenesis in development and disease
A PhD student position is available in the field of cell/developmental biology in a joint project of Prof. Irma Thesleff and Dr. Marja Mikkola at the Institute of Biotechnology, University of Helsinki.
The project focuses on understanding the molecular basis of ectodermal organ development. The project utilizes advanced confocal microscopy and live tissue imaging methods together with in vitro and in vivo manipulation of specific signaling pathways in embryonic mouse hair, tooth and mammary gland to understand the cell biological mechanisms regulating epithelial morphogenesis in development and disease.
We are looking for highly motivated candidates with top academic qualifications and a recently earned Master�s degree in the field or cell biology, genetics, developmental biology, or other appropriate field. Candidates who will receive their MSc degree in near future are also encouraged to apply. The applicants are expected to have good knowledge in cell biology; experience in confocal microscopy is not a necessity but is considered as an advantage.
We offer an inspiring and supportive research environment and excellent facilities for a researcher interested in developmental biology and imaging. The starting date is negotiable. Salary will be based on the University salary system for teaching and research personnel. The project will be supervised by Doc. Marja Mikkola and Dr. Laura Ahtiainen. For further information, please contact Laura Ahtiainen (laura.ahtiainen-at-helsinki.fi) or Marja Mikkola (marja.mikkola-at-helsinki.fi).
The application should be sent to Marja Mikkola by e-mail, and it should include a cover letter describing your research interests, a CV with information on education (topics and grades), and contact information for at least one reference.
Application deadline is June 15, 2011. However, the applicants are encouraged to apply early, as the position will be filled as soon as a suitable candidate has been found.
