About this position
The Cell Adhesion and Cancer Group (Ivaska Lab) at the Turku Bioscience Centre, University of Turku, Finland, is recruiting talented researchers for postdoctoral and bioinformatician positions. The group focuses on uncovering the mechanisms of cancer invasion and tissue barrier function using advanced biological and computational approaches. The bioinformatician role involves working at the interface of computation and biology, analyzing large multi-omics and imaging datasets, developing analytical pipelines, and collaborating with experimental scientists. This position is funded by an ERC Advanced Grant, ensuring a fully funded research environment.
Two postdoctoral researcher positions are available to explore tissue barriers under normal and disease conditions. The research utilizes organoids, in vivo models, biophysics, and cutting-edge imaging to investigate cancer invasion and tissue barrier function. The Ivaska Lab offers a collaborative, international culture and access to state-of-the-art tools and methodologies.
Applicants should hold a PhD in biology, biomedical sciences, bioinformatics, or a related field. Experience with multi-omics data, imaging, analytical pipeline development, and experimental collaboration is preferred. For postdoctoral roles, expertise in organoids, in vivo models, biophysics, and advanced imaging is desirable. The University of Turku provides competitive salary and benefits, with funding secured for these positions.
To apply, candidates should submit their application online via the University of Turku vacancies portal by February 20, 2025. The anticipated start date is April 2026, with flexibility. For further information, applicants can contact Professor Johanna Ivaska at [email protected] and review the lab website at ivaskalab.utu.fi.
This opportunity is ideal for researchers interested in cancer biology, cell adhesion, bioinformatics, and computational biology, seeking to join a world-class research team in Finland.
