We are seeking an outstanding and well-motivated post-doctoral or post- graduate student to a research project concerning orexin receptor signaling to Ca2+, lipid messengers and cell plasticity. The project utilizes live-cell imaging, biochemical second-messenger and lipid assays and molecular and cell biological techniques on cellular model systems, and thus schooling
and previous experience in such techniques is considered a merit. Orexin receptors are most well-known for their central role in the regulation of sleep/wakefulness and appetite in central nervous system, but their also display a range of effects in other tissue types. They show very wide variety of responses which also makes them an interesting model for studies of the signal coupling of G-protein-coupled receptors. Our group is interested both
in the orexin-specific and general signaling aspects. Please visit us at http://www.vetmed.helsinki.fi/pell/biokemia/kukkonen/Jyrki-lab_Home.html for more information on our group, research, recent publications and grant support on our projects.
The application should be received by Prof. Jyrki Kukkonen at the University
of Helsinki, Department of Basic Veterinary Medicine, PB 66, 00014 University of Helsinki by April 4, 2009. In the application, please include - a CV (incl. publication record and overview of schooling and technical knowledge) - other personal information (incl. overview of research and career interests) - letters of reference (or at least contact information for such references)
For more information, please contact Prof. Jyrki Kukkonen (email jyrki.kukkonen@helsinki.fi; phone 09-191 5702).
