A graduate student position in the field of Gene Transcription by RNA polymerase II & RNA biology is open at Biomedicum Helsinki 1, University of Helsinki. A strong background in molecular biology is required. Applications are accepted on continuous basis, but the post will be filled as soon as a competitive candidate is identified.

The position is open in a recently established laboratory led by Matjaz Barboric, Ph.D. at the University of Helsinki, Biomedicum Helsinki 1, Research Programs Unit, Molecular Medicine. The research group investigates the mechanisms controlling transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II. This step in gene transcription has emerged only recently as a major regulatory step in matazoan gene expression. By using biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics and systems biology approaches, we are seeking to understand the role of transcription elongation kinases in mRNA genesis and processing, as well as the significance of RNA polymerase II elongation control in disease and development. These research efforts are currently supported by the grants from the Academy of Finland, Sigrid Juselius Foundation, Research Programs Unit at the University of Helsinki, and The Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research.

Are you a creative and independent thinker? Are you ready for the hard work that the Ph.D. requires? Are you a motivated and an outstanding student with a strong academic record who is a quick learner and in a position to put a mark in a competitive field of gene transcription? Have you recently received a Masters degree in molecular biology, biochemistry, developmental biology, bioinformatics or related fields or are you finishing up with such studies? If yes, then please send your application including a cover letter, CV, your research interests, and 2-3 letters of reference to matjaz.barboric@helsinki.fi.

For further information, please contact: Matjaz Barboric, Ph.D. Academy of Finland Research Fellow & Principal Investigator Research Program's Unit, Molecular Medicine Faculty of Medicine, University of Helsinki Biomedicum Helsinki 1, Room B333b Haartmaninkatu 8, 00290 Helsinki, Finland Email: matjaz.barboric@helsinki.fi Web: https://tuhat.halvi.helsinki.fi/portal/en/persons/matjaz-barboric(09c0e783-7...
