1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Ornithology
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD will be about modelling species distribution areas and habitat use using large-scale European survey and tracking data. The aim is to define priority areas for conservation now and in the future for 14 huntable species. The position is part of EU funding HABITRACK consortium led by the National Museum of Natural History Paris. The Doctoral Researcher will be working in study group of the Helsinki Lab of Ornithology, which is part of the Monitoring Team of the Zoology Unit in the The Finnish Museum of Natural History.
Application Deadline: 20.6.2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Virus-host interactions
Summary of PhD Program:
Viruses with RNA genomes cause most of the emerging and re-emerging infectious disease epidemics. Alphaviruses are mosquito-borne viruses causing febrile disease, found both in tropical and temperate regions. The project aims to establish a comprehensive view of host interaction during alphavirus replication by identifying host proteins that assist in virus replication. We aim to understand the specific actions that each host factor performs during virus replication.
The proteins could assist e.g. in the modification of host cell membranes, as viruses rearrange the membranes to create protective replication vesicles. The host proteins important for virus replication are attractive new targets for antiviral drugs. The starting point of the project is a large proteomics dataset, so the project can be tailored together with the successful applicant based on their interest and prior experience.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in history of religion (southern Levant)
Summary of PhD Program:
We are recruiting a team of researchers (four postdoctoral researchers and a PhD researcher) to collaborate in Dr. Jason Silverman’s ERC Advanced Grant Project “Work without End: Informal Taxation and Forced Labor within Persian Southern Levantine Temple Economy and Society (WORK-IT)” at the University of Helsinki. WORK-IT will run from Sept 2024 to Aug 2029. Each researcher is expected to be able to research and publish independently as well as collaboratively within the team. Using temples in the southern Levant under the first Persian Empire as the focus, WORK-IT explores imperial-local socio-economic interaction.
The project integrates analysis of informal taxation and forced labor via Bourdieusian field theory in the analysis of Persian-era sources. The analysis of informal taxation and forced labor will be useful to both economists and sociologists via the most up to date ANE data and analyses, bridging the lingering divide between ancient historians and modern social scientists. The ultimate goal is to provide some refined perspectives for the modern theory of preindustrial socio-economic interactions.
Application Deadline: 12.6.2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Food Microbiology/Food Science
Summary of PhD Program:
Fermented foods are widely consumed in Europe and across the globe because of their sensory characteristics, cultural value and – especially in the past few decades – nutritional and perceived health benefits. However, knowledge on the impact of food fermentation on human health and mechanisms behind such impact is limited due to the lack of dedicated and integrated studies. Such knowledge is required to start designing fermented foods with optimal health benefits instead of relying on spontaneous fermentation processes.
