This appointment is part of the Research Council of Finland's project 'Targeting metabolic adaptation to combat difficult-to-treat urinary tract infections caused by E. coli biofilms.' Led by Professor Päivi Tammela, the project aims to reveal conditions essential for uropathogenic E. coli's (UPEC) adjustable metabolic machinery and identify potential cues for novel therapeutic interventions. The successful candidate will contribute to fundamental understanding of how metabolic adaptation affects UPEC's virulence properties and develop new tools for microbiological research and antibacterial drug discovery.
We seek an applicant with:
- a Master's degree in pharmacy, microbiology, biotechnology, or chemical biology, or equivalent experience
- strong skills in microbiology, particularly focused on antibacterial susceptibility and biofilm assays, including experience in bioassay development and validation
- previous experience in fields such as cell culturing techniques, in vivo models, high throughput screening, or bioinformatics considered a significant merit
- excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
- strong problem-solving skills and an unbiased approach
- ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary research team
The duties include conducting research within the project framework to achieve a doctoral degree according to the University of Helsinki's degree requirements. The appointee will participate in supervising undergraduate students and other discipline-specific teaching in pharmaceutical biology, covering approximately 5% of working hours.
