Doctoral Researcher

We are seeking a Doctoral Researcher to join EIRIS, a project investigating how endocrine-disrupting chemicals contribute to endometriosis, a common and painful condition affecting roughly one in ten women. The position is full-time and fixed-term for four years, located at Kauppi Campus, Tampere University, hosted by the Mechanistic and Applied Toxicology (MAT) group. The candidate will combine experimental wet-lab work with data-driven computational analyses, including systematic evidence mapping, omics interpretation, and network analyses. Responsibilities include establishing human endometrial cell models, conducting controlled chemical exposure experiments, generating proteomic/secretomic samples, interpreting omics data, and presenting results at conferences. Training will be provided; collaboration with international partners is expected. Eligible candidates should have a Master’s degree in a life-science field (molecular biology, biochemistry, toxicology, bioinformatics, etc.) and fluency in English. Prior lab experience is advantageous but not required. The role offers opportunities for doctoral studies, mentoring, and a supportive multidisciplinary environment with competitive benefits.
