POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER IN PAIN CHRONOTHERAPIES
The University of Helsinki is one of the leading universities in Nordics and Europe and an international scientific community of 40,000 students and researchers. The position of postdoctoral researcher is available at the Translational Pain Research group at the Department of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, led by Docent Dr. Vinko Palada. Our team investigates circadian regulation of chronic pain and associated comorbidities by using state-of-the-art methods such as high-throughput omics, molecular biology, drug library screens, characterization of patient cohorts, and functional studies in experimental models. This is a new and exciting research field, with the goals to revolutionize our understanding of pain mechanisms and to develop new chronotherapies for pain relief. The group closely collaborates with Helsinki University Hospital and Karolinska Institute, Sweden.
Job description and key requirements:We have recently characterised the effects of analgesics on sleep architecture and circadian rhythms under neuropathic pain conditions. Therefore, the researcher will have an opportunity to join the already established project or initiate their own project within the main research areas of the group (comorbidity between sleep disorders and pain, circadian regulation of pain, and pain chronotherapies). We are looking for an ambitious early career researcher with advanced analytical and problem-solving skills. The successful applicant has at least two first authorship publications and a PhD degree in neuroscience, biology, chronobiology, pharmacology, sleep medicine, or other related discipline. Previous experience with drug screens, EEG recordings, neuronal cell lines, and animal models are considered a strong merit for this position. Excellent communication and writing skills in English and the ability to work in an international team setting are expected. The successful applicant will take part in experiments, supervision of students, drafting of manuscripts, and funding applications. The degree requirement must be met by the beginning of the employment. The chosen applicant is expected to reside in Finland while employed by the University of Helsinki.
Application requirements:Application should include the following documents:
- CV (Europass CV template highly recommended)
- Motivation letter (1 page description of how you would utilise your research skills in our group and what kind of research projects you would like to pursue)
- List of publications
- Two reference contacts
