Hi folks,

There are two open PhD positions at the University of Kuopio, Finland. The projects would be funded for 3 years by the Academy of Finland.

(b) The second project will analyze the impact of regulatory SNPs in type 2 diabetes.

Interested candidates should have MSc degree in Biochemistry or related disciplines. Good knowledge of English is required and bioinformatics skills will be of great advantage. You can send your applications per e-mail directly to (carlberg@messi.uku.fi) until March 31.

If you will, contact me in advance for some clues before forwarding your applications, (sozoemena@hotmail.com).
