PhD in Neural Stem Cell Biology, University Muenster, Germany

/ August 19, 2010 Leave a Comment

The group for Stem Cell Biology & Regeneration at the ZMBE Institute of Cell Biology the Westphalian Wilhelms- University Muenster, Germany has an open Position for a PhD Student.
Applications are invited for a position within the group of Dr. Jens Schwamborn to investigate the mechanisms of fate specification in neural stem cells.
We investigate how the proliferation and differentiation of adult neural stem cells is regulated. In particular, we are interested in the question how the grade of differentiation of a cell is determined and how stem cell maintenance works. Further on we try to find ways to reprogram differentiated cells back into somatic stem cells. The overall aim of our work is to make endogenously present adult neural stem cells applicable for therapeutic approaches aiming for the replacement of neurons that are lost during neurodegenerative diseases (e.g. Parkinson’s disease).

Successful applicants should have a strong interest in Cell and Neurobiology, particularly experience in Stem Cell Biology would be a plus. We are looking for highly motivated people who share our passion for research, are interested in aquiring new skills and wish to be part of an international team.

Scholarship for International Travel, University of Cape Town, South Africa

/ August 18, 2010 Leave a Comment

Scholarship for International Travel are available to assist Master’s and Doctoral students registered at the University of Cape Town to proceed to an approved international institution for purposes of a visiting scholars programme, for research, or for attendance at specific and approved courses.  The awards are intended for individual senior students and have been established to enhance the research activities being conducted for the completion of the degree.

  • No applications for renewal or extension will be considered.  The awards are restricted to one award per student, per DEGREE. Only ONE application at Master’s level and ONE at Doctoral level can be submitted.  Where students are upgraded from the Masters degree, a second application can be submitted at Doctoral level, but only after 12 months of registration at Doctoral level.
  • UCT Scholarships for International Travel and UCT Conference Travel Grants cannot be held concurrently in any one year.
  • Only students in the first and second years of Master’s study and the first, second or third years of doctoral study, will be considered. (3rd year Masters and 4th year PhD students are NOT ELIGIBLE).
  • Successful applicants are required to submit a full report on the work completed and the time spent at the international institution.  The reports must be submitted to the DVC for Research and Innovation, c/o the PFO, within three weeks of the student’s return to UCT.  The report must illustrate the value of the time spent abroad.  Such reports may be included or referred to in the University’s Annual Research Report.  Failure to submit the required report will result in cancellation of the scholarship and withdrawal of the funds provided.
  • Before payment  can be made of any award offered, successful applicants are required to show evidence that the balance of funds required has been secured.
  • NOTE:  There are two rounds of application/award per annum:
  • Students applying to travel abroad in April, May, June, July, and August , September 2010 must submit their applications by no later than 28 February 2010.
  • Students applying to travel abroad in October, November, December 2010 and January, February and March 2011 must submit their applications by no later than 31 August 2010.

PhD Position in Excellence Cluster Cellular Networks, University of Heidelberg, Germany

/ August 18, 2010 Leave a Comment

Integrins are the main receptors for cell-matrix adhesion and are continuously Trafficked within the cell.. An exact understanding of the cellular networks regulating integrin trafficking is missing, but is crucial for clarifying how cells respond to adhesive clues in their environment and Thus for understanding many vital processes, including cell migration or virus uptake. We will combine here methods from cell and molecular biology, systems biology, theoretical biophysics and bioinformatics to reconstruct the cellular networks regulating integrin trafficking. We offer a highly stimulating and international research environment at CellNetworks.
