About this position
Tampere University is offering a Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Biomedicine) position in the Regulatory Genomics research group at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology (MET), Finland. This is a full-time, fixed-term appointment for two years, based at Kauppi Campus in Tampere.
The project is focused on neurodegenerative research and investigates how microglial states emerge in response to disease-related stressors and how these states are reflected in diseased brain tissue. The work sits at the intersection of biomedicine, neuroscience, genomics, and computational biology, with an emphasis on the spatial and temporal dynamics of gene regulation in disease.
The research group uses single-cell and spatial genomics to map cell type-specific regulatory programs relevant to disease onset and progression. The successful candidate will contribute to advanced experimental and/or computational analyses, including computational inference approaches for studying glial gene regulation. The broader research environment at MET spans clinical medicine, translational medicine, molecular biology, biotechnology, cell biology, biomedical engineering, biomaterials, and biorobotics.
Applicants should have a relevant doctoral degree completed by the starting date, with backgrounds such as biomedicine, neuroscience, molecular and cellular biology, or genomics. Experience in experimental or computational neuroscience and/or single-cell or spatial genomics is expected, along with strong motivation, independence, good networking and interpersonal skills, willingness to mentor junior researchers, and fluency in English.
The position offers a competitive salary under the Finnish University Salary System, with a typical starting salary of approximately 3900-4000 EUR/month. Tampere University highlights its strong collaborative networks, international research environment, and supportive staff benefits. The university and city of Tampere are presented as an attractive setting for researchers, with strong academic infrastructure and quality of life.
Application deadline: 2026-09-15. Applications must be submitted via the online recruitment system, and all materials must be in English and uploaded as PDF files. Required attachments include a CV (per TENK guidelines), publication list, one-page motivation letter describing research and professional development goals, doctoral degree certificate or proof of thesis defense date, and contact information for two referees.
