About this position

Doctoral Researcher (Biomedicine) at Tampere University, Finland

Tampere University is inviting applications for a full-time Doctoral Researcher position in biomedicine, with a strong focus on neurodegenerative research. The work is based at Kauppi Campus within the Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology (MET), and is embedded in the Regulatory Genomics group in the Biomedicine unit.

The project investigates how microglial states emerge in response to neurodegenerative disease-related stressors and how these states appear in diseased brain tissue. The research uses advanced single-cell and spatial genomics approaches, together with computational inference methods, to study glial gene regulation and disease-related regulatory programs.

This is a three-year fixed-term PhD-level research position. The selected candidate will be able to focus on doctoral research full-time, work in a collaborative multidisciplinary team, and contribute to the wider faculty environment through supervision, education, or related tasks supporting their studies. The group emphasizes spatial and temporal dynamics of gene regulation, cell type-specific regulatory programs, and the role of genetic variation in disease onset and progression.

Eligibility highlights include a Master’s degree in biosciences or a related field, completed before the start date; basic experience in cell culture and laboratory work; preferably some experience with genomics assays; and an advantage for candidates with computational biology experience. Strong spoken and written English is required. Applicants must be pursuing or accepted into the Doctoral Programme in Medicine, Biosciences and Biomedical Engineering.

The planned starting date is late 2026 or early 2027, or as mutually agreed. The position offers a typical starting salary of approximately EUR 2750–2900 per month under the Finnish University Salary System, with increases based on experience and doctoral progress. Tampere University also highlights a supportive research environment, mentoring, structured training, modern infrastructure, and a vibrant campus setting in Tampere, Finland.

Applications must be submitted through the university’s online recruitment system by 2026-09-15 at 23:59 EEST. Required attachments include a CV, a one-page motivation letter, degree certificates and transcripts, and optional supporting documents such as a thesis, relevant publications, or a list of referees. All application materials must be in English and submitted as PDF files.
