Post-doctoral position is available in the laboratory of Professor Jukka Westermarck at the Centre for Biotechnology, University of Turku, Turku, Finland. We are looking for highly motivated researchers with PhD degree to join our dynamic research group broadly focused on very exciting therapeutic potential of PP2A reactivation in cancer therapy.
