The funding is secured for at least 3 years.

Applicants with strong background in developmental genetics, plant molecular biology and/or cell biology as well as interest in working in an interdisciplinary environment are particularly encouraged to apply.

Applicants should send

1) a cover letter describing previous achievements, future career ambitions and motivation for this position;

2) Curriculum vitae with a list of publications and contact information of two referees to email address: AriPekka.Mahonen-at-helsinki.fi
