I'm excited to start my independent research group on Bioelectricity in Plant Sciences at the University of Turku, Finland, with an Emerging Investigator grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation. I will open funded positions in Autumn 2025 to join from Spring 2026. Please email if you see a match.
Funded position available to join my new team at University of Turku, Finland, to do a PhD on how circadian clocks regulate extracellular electron transfer in photosynthetic cells. Application open until end of summer, start by end of year. Please share/apply ats.talentadore.com/apply/vaitos...
