3. Postdoctoral Position in Microbiome Research
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The project is a comprehensive study of how resilient or eco-responsive host-microbiome interactions are to changing environments. Both biotic and abiotic factors can influence the bond between hosts and their associated microbes, and create an imbalance that may be linked to decrease in the host fitness and population dynamics in the field.
The postdoc will have access to long-term data and yearly field samples to tackle related to microbiota / microbiome community change through space and time. The tasks of the postdoc will include field work, molecular work, and community analyses, and writing of manuscripts; and the details of the project will be adjusted to fit the research interests of both the PI and the postdoc.
Application Deadline: 15.3.2023
4. Postdoctoral Position in Translational Immunology
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Hematology Research Unit Helsinki (HRUH), led by Professor Satu Mustjoki, is a translational research group focusing on tumor immunology, autoimmunity, and personalized medicine in blood cancers. HaikaLab Immuno-oncology group led by Dr. Heidi Haikala is studying immuno-oncology responses and therapy resistance in lung cancer. Both research groups are part of Translational Immunology Research Program (TRIMM) and the iCAN Digital Cancer Precision Medicine Flagship (www.ican.fi).
In our ongoing projects we aim to discover more effective immunotherapies, and individual resistance and sensitivity mechanisms using unbiased functional screens at the single cell level (e.g. CRISPR-Cas9 screens, high-throughput drug sensitivity assays) and utilizing primary patient immune and cancer cells in the dynamic co-culture models.
