Job Description:
The PhD student will perform his/her main research activity in the Computational Biomedicine Group at Turku Centre for Biotechnology, Turku, Finland. In the same time he/she will be highly connected with the ENLIGHT-TEN consortium. As part of the program, the student will attend summer schools on relevant topics and annual scientific meetings of the consortium. The PhD student will also spend few months in three other labs of the consortium to learn new tools and technologies. The planned visits include Qiagen (Aarhus, Denmark), EMBL-EBI (Cambridge, UK), and Bayer Pharma AG (Wuppertal, Germany).
The objective of the work is to develop data-driven computational methods to robustly characterize T cell-related molecular signatures and networks at multiple levels and use the signatures to predict health and disease states. A successful candidate has solid background in bioinformatics and computational biology, good expertise in statistical and bioinformatics techniques and software, and abilities to work in a multidisciplinary research environment.
Starting date is between December 2015 and March 2016.
Salary is based on EC Marie Skłodowska-Curie rates. The monthly gross salary includes the Marie Curie Living Allowance of 3110 € adjusted through the application of the host country correction coefficient, the Marie Curie Mobility Allowance of 600 €, and the Marie Curie Family Allowance of 500 € (if applicable). The gross salary may be subjected to tax according to applicable national regulations. Positions are aimed at being full-time.
The position will be filled as soon as a suitable candidate is found but no later than 13th of November. The application including motivation letter, CV, recommendation letters, copies of degree certificates and study transcript should be sent in one PDF-file to johanna.makela@utu.fi.
