Post-doctoral (or graduate student) position in structural biology of parasite motility (17.03.2022)
We are looking for a post-doctoral fellow or possibly a highly-qualified PhD student for a 3-year project (with an option for an extension of one year) in my group at the Faculty of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine (FBMM), University of Oulu, Finland.
The overall aim of my group is to understand the molecular mechanism of malaria parasite gliding motility. For this, we use a wide variety of... Read more
Our group in Oulu was granted 72000 € from the Sigrid Jusélius foundation for the period 1.5.2022-30.4.2023. This is the first year of three, so the total amount will be 216000 € over three years. This secures the future of our group in Oulu in a rather difficult financial situation. We feel utmost gratitude for the almost continuous support we have received for our work on malaria from the...

This week, we have had the pleasure to welcome Léa Gelez as a trainee in our group in Oulu. Léa studies biology and biochemistry at the University of Lille in France and is currently doing an Erasmus exchange in Oulu. She will spend 8 weeks in our lab, learning and helping with actin mutagenesis and characterizing some interesting mutants.
In addition to the travel grant, this week brought us two other positive decisions for small-scale funding. We also got 60000 NOK for consumable costs from "Det alminnelige medisinske forskningsfond" of the UiB and Inari got 150000 NOK from the Meltzer Research Fund to be used for a sabbatical year, which hopefully will be granted for 2023. More on that later.
Often our path seems rocky, at times completely lost, but sometimes we find pointers to some light at the end. Today, we were given a travel grant of 50000 NOK from the University of Bergen and the Meltzer Research Fund to enable data collection and collaborative visits to get some science done also this year.
One of the things we have been missing a lot from "normality" is to visit our collaborators and friends and host them in our lab. As one step towards normal times, we had the pleasure to get Herwig Schüler from Lund to visit our lab in Bergen.
