-----Original Message----- From: bco-bounces@lists.oulu.fi [mailto:bco-bounces@lists.oulu.fi] On Behalf Of Anita Tienhaara Sent: 21. helmikuuta 2013 9:35 To: finbionet Subject: [Bco] PhD and postdoc positions in the Ykä Helariutta´s group, University of Helsinki

PI: Ykä Helariutta [Academy Professor]), University of Helsinki

Applicants are searched for two positions:

(1)A post doctoral position: An ERC funded project on symplastic communication. We have recently identified extragenic suppressor mutations for gain-of-function allele of Callose Synthase 3 (CalS3) locus (Vaten et al. Dev Cell 21:1144-55). We believe these mutations provide an interesting entry point for understanding how callose regulates cell-to-cell movement of developmental signals through plasmodesmata.

(2) A graduate student position: An Academy of Finland funded project on the role of cytokinin signalling during root vascular development in Arabidopsis. We are investigating how cytokinin regulates procambial development (Mähönen et al. Science 311:94-98; Bishopp et al. Curr Biol 21:917-26). We have identified new components as an entry point both based on genetic screens and microarrays

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: yrjo.helariutta-at-helsinki.fi.

The deadline for applications is March 10th, 2013. However, the position can be filled earlier if a suitable candidate is found.

Please feel free to contact Prof. Helariutta for more information,
