About this position
Fully funded PhD in protein synthesis at the University of Helsinki, Finland, hosted by the O'Keefe Lab in the Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences.
The thesis, “Inhibiting Protein Synthesis – Old, New, Borrowed, Blue,” focuses on understanding and inhibiting protein synthesis. The project combines cell biology, cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), and high-throughput screening to investigate molecular mechanisms and identify approaches for controlling protein production.
The position is suited to researchers with training in biology, biochemistry, pharmacy, or a related discipline who are interested in interdisciplinary molecular and cellular research. The successful doctoral researcher will work in the O'Keefe Lab and contribute to a research environment spanning experimental cell biology, structural analysis, and screening-based discovery at the University of Helsinki.
