Finland, Helsingfors (Helsinki)

The HiLIFE - Institute of Biotechnology and the Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences at the University of Helsinki are announcing several open positions in three different research groups at the University of Helsinki Viikki campus. 

Project Description

Three research groups jointly announce open positions in the following project areas 1) structural virology, 2) structural parasitology in the area of mitochondrial supercomplexes and protein translation 3) antiviral inhibitors of protein secretion and 4) novel molecular glue activators of cell-protective stress pathways. The projects will be housed at the University of Helsinki Viikki campus in the groups of Prof. Sarah Butcher (project #1), Group Leader Dr. Alexander Mühleip (project #2) and Research Director Dr. Ville Paavilainen (projects #3-4). All of the positions will be affiliated with a single research group with more detailed project descriptions below. All of the participating groups are located in the same building with shared group meetings and high synergy, including many ongoing collaborative projects. As a result, the selected people will benefit from a highly synergistic and collaborative environment.

Project #1: Sarah Butcher

The HiLIFE - Institute of Biotechnology and the Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences at the University of Helsinki, renowned for its international research excellence, is excited to announce openings for both a postdoctoral researcher and a PhD researcher to join the group of Prof. Sarah Butcher. 

Our research focusses on pathogen-host interactions. The successful postdoctoral researcher will join the new Horizon Europe consortium, REFINE to work on West Nile virus entry, inhibition, and prevention, using molecular biology, and structural virology with an emphasis on reconstitution of membrane proteins, virus-antibody interactions, single-particle cryo-EM and image reconstruction. The successful PhD researcher will join the new COMBAT VIRUS project funded by the Jane and Aatos Erkko Foundation, to work on vaccine development for picornaviruses and characterisation of antiviral molecules. The work will involve primarily single particle cryoEM and image reconstruction. We lead the University of Helsinki cryoEM facility and will give training on all of the relevant techniques, using the in-house 200-kV Talos Arctica microscope fitted with a Falcon 4i camera. Computational resources are provided by the national supercomputer center.

Project #2: Postdoctoral Researcher in structural mitochondrial biology

The HiLIFE - Institute of Biotechnology at the University of Helsinki, renowned for its international research excellence, is excited to announce an opening for a postdoctoral researcher or PhD graduate student to join the group of Dr. Alexander Mühleip. 

Project Description

The research of the group is focused on understanding how protein complexes organise mitochondrial membranes in protozoan parasites and when disrupted by human mitochondrial disorders. The successful applicant will work on the structural and functional characterisation of protein complexes involved in mitochondrial energy conversion and translation in protozoan parasites using protein biochemistry, single-particle cryo-EM and in-situ cryo-electron tomography with subtomogram averaging. Specifically, the project is aimed at visualisation of inner-membrane architecture and characterising parasite-specific modulation of membrane biogenesis. The candidate will also have the opportunity to study the structural basis for inhibition of mitochondrial translation in Toxoplasma gondii in collaboration with leading expert Prof. Lilach Sheiner (University of Glasgow). The project offers the unique opportunity to combine parasitology and mitochondrial biology with state-of-the-art structural biology techniques.

Project #3: Postdoctoral Researcher in structural biology

The HiLIFE - Institute of Biotechnology at the University of Helsinki, renowned for its international research excellence, is excited to announce an opening for a postdoctoral researcher or PhD graduate student to join the group of Dr. Ville Paavilainen. 

Project Description

The current research in the group has two directions with recent funding from the European Union and US National Institutes of Health. The overall goal of the group is to understand basic mechanisms of protein biogenesis, particularly within the early secretory pathway and in the membrane of the mammalian endoplasmic reticulum. Ongoing drug discovery efforts to target ER protein biogenesis in a client-selective manner are aimed for diseases such as cancer and inflammatory conditions. Here, one project is to study how client-selective inhibition of secretory protein biogenesis could be pursued as a new antiviral strategy against viruses such as Ebola. In the second project, we aim to develop new small molecule tools to activate specific ER stress responses as a cell-protective strategy with relevance to neurodegenerative conditions, including Parkinson’s and Altzheimer’s diseases. This work involves structural biology and biophysical experiments to characterize molecular glue mechanisms with their target proteins in collaboration with synthetic chemistry partners. Both projects take advantage of state-of-the-art structural biology methods, including cryo-EM and X-ray crystallography, chemical biology approaches as well as biophysical studies. The group benefits from in-house availability of a 200-kV Talos Arctica microscope, complemented by abundant access to 300-kV cryo-electron microscopes for data collection at international facilities as well as modern X-ray sources in-house as well as frequent access to European synchrotron sources as part of a Finnish block allocation group.
