The Fagerholm group at the Department of Molecular and Integrative Bioscience (MIBS), Faculty of Bio- and Environmental Sciences, University of Helsinki seeks to recruit a post-doctoral researcher in Immunology
Deadline: 28 - Feb - 2026
The Fagerholm group at the Department of Molecular and Integrative Bioscience (MIBS), Faculty of Bio- and Environmental Sciences, University of Helsinki seeks to recruit a post-doctoral researcher. This position is part of the interdisciplinary consortium at the University of Helsinki, Sex Differences in Immunity, which brings together researchers across evolutionary biology, immunology, genomics, demography, and statistics to bridge evolutionary and mechanistic explanations of sex differences in immunity.
The Fagerholm group consists of Immunologists, Biochemists and Bioinformaticians working together to understand the molecular mechanisms which regulate immune cell signaling and programming in vivo. They are especially interested in programming of dendritic cells, the main antigen presenting cells of the immune system. Their work is relevant for immune system related diseases such as immunodeficiency, inflammatory disorders and cancer. They use a wide range of techniques such as mouse models, in vivo immune cell functional assays, flow cytometry, cell biology, metabolic assays, imaging and omics-techniques (next generation sequencing).
Applicants should possess a PhD degree in immunology or closely related field, or be close to graduation. An excellent academic record, a deep understanding of immunology, as well as practical experience of immune cell biology, cell culture, omics-methods (RNAseq), flow cytometry, other immunological methods and mouse colony management is required. The applicant should be highly motivated and have the ability to work productively both independently and as part of an interdisciplinary team. An interest in interdisciplinary research is considered an advantage. The position is available until end of 2028, starting as soon as possible. A six month trial period will be applied. They are accepting applications immediately and will continue until the position is filled. The ideal starting date is February/March 2026.
