LGSA PhD Positions 2011, Germany: Ageing and Age-Related Diseases

The Leibniz Graduate School on Ageing and Age-Related Diseases (LGSA) is a joint programme of the Leibniz Institute for Age Research – Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) and the Friedrich – Schiller – University (FSU) in Jena. The School calls for applications for PhD positions available in spring/ summer 2011.

The Leibniz Graduate School on Ageing offers an international postgraduate programme for students with excellent qualifications. The participating research groups work on Molecular Biology, Molecular Genetics, Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, Cancer Biology, Neurobiology and Structural Biology to investigate the multifaceted mechanisms that cause the development of age-related diseases and those that cause senescence and ageing.

Training and research within the PhD program is interdisciplinary. Lecture series, seminars, journal clubs and courses as well as training in presentation skills and language classes complement the practical work. A thesis committee provides comprehensive support and the mentorship in the career development of the student. The programme language is English. The salary will be according to German TV-L E 13 (salary agreement for public service employees – 50 % position during the first and second year and a 60 % position during the third and fourth year).

Eligible are students that have obtained, or that will obtain within half a year, an academic degree comparable to the master degree or diploma in natural sciences (e.g. Biology, Biochemistry, Physics, and Chemistry).

For the first step please acquaint yourself with the research of the participating groups and with the application procedure on our website (Application), download the application and recommendation forms, fill in the application form and send it electronically to the LGSA (the email address can be found in the application guidelines). Forward the recommendation form to two referees and ask them to submit their letter directly to the LGSA. Applicants should carefully follow the application guidelines. Do not submit your documents to the research group leaders. Incomplete or non-fitting applications will not be considered.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 10 April 2011

PhD in Experimental Nanobioscience and Dairy Research,University of Southern Denmark, Denmark

A PhD scholarship in experimental nanobioscience and dairy research is available at the Department of Physics and Chemistry (IFK) from 15 May, 2011 – 15 May, 2014.The position is associated with the MEMPHYS-Center for Biomembrane Physics with collaborators at NanoSYD (ALSION, SDU), Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BMB, SDU) and LIFE (KU).Outstanding candidates with a strong background in nanobioscience, biophysics, bioimaging, or related fields are invited to apply. Experience with the characterization of soft nanoparticles and nanostructures will be an advantage. The candidate will be involved in a highly interdisciplinary project devoted to the characterization of casein micelles and other soft nanostructures in dairy samples. The project will focus on high resolution imaging and establishing a link between nanostructure and derived product function.

The successful candidate will be required to perform experiments at SDU (Odense, DK) as well as NanoSYD (Sønderborg, DK). The successful candidate will be enrolled in the Graduate School of Molecular Biophysics at the University of Southern Denmark.Appointment as a PhD Research Fellow is for three years. Employment stops automatically at the end of the period. The holder of the scholarship is not allowed to have other paid employment during the three-year period.
