The Doctoral Student is responsible for carrying out the thesis related work and reporting of the findings in scientific journals, and completion of the studies required for the Doctoral Thesis. The work will be supervised by the project leader Dr Elina Sillanp\u00e4\u00e4, JYU, and Academy Research Fellow Miina Ollikainen, FIMM, UH. During the four years of doctoral training, the PhD candidate is expected to work in both the Faculty of Sport Sciences at the University of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 and the Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland at the University of Helsinki.<\/p>\n

Qualifications and experience<\/b>:<\/p>\n

Candidates are expected to have a second cycle academic degree (MSc, MD or equivalent) in statistics, bioinformatics, sports sciences, health sciences, biotechnology, molecular biology, computer science, mathematics, medicine, or other related fields. Experience in laboratory work and\/or statistical modelling and methods is highly appreciated. The successful candidate will have good problem solving, troubleshooting, and analytical skills.<\/p>\n
