Scottish Overseas Research Students Award Scheme

/ January 24, 2011 Leave a Comment

This Scholarship award is designed to attract high performing overseas research students to Scottish universities. Each award covers the difference between the tuition fee for a UK/EU graduate student and that chargeable to an overseas graduate student. The SORSAS scholarship awards is Subject to satisfactory academic progress and are tenable for up to three years. The awards do not cover maintenance expenses.

All candidates who apply for a Scottish Overseas Research Students Award Scheme (SORSAS) and are unsuccessful, will automatically be considered for an Edinburgh Global Research Scholarship.

The University of Edinburgh will award 30 Edinburgh Global Research Scholarships in session 2011-2012 which like the SORSAS Awards will cover the difference between the overseas rate of fee and the home rate of fee.

Eligibility

The awards are open to overseas students undertaking a research degree and may be held in any field of study.

Applicants must be liable to pay tuition fees at the rate applicable to overseas students and must have already applied for admission to a full-time PhD research programme of study or currently be pursuing such a programme.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 1 February 2011

PhD Studentship and Postdoctoral Position in Computational Systems Biology, Berlin

/ January 24, 2011 Leave a Comment

Biology has developed into a quantitative, information-driven science.
We are seeking fellows in the new Research Training Group Computational Systems Biology (CSB) which focuses on the system-level
understanding of biological data using computational methods. CSB is embedded in the thriving Berlin life-science environment and involves
high-ranking research institutions such as Humboldt-University zu Berlin, Free University Berlin, Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin,
Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics and Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine Berlin-Buch.
We offer 12 PhD fellowships and 1 postdoctoral position (TV/L E13) in
the following areas:

(a) Structural investigation of protein-protein and protein-RNA
interactions and their role in molecular networks of the living cell
(b) Detailed models of cellular processes on different levels
(c) Reverse engineering for prediction of genetic networks from new
types of data and
(d) Spatio-temporal organization of networks.

We are looking for highly-motivated students with a strong interest in systems biology and mathematical modelling. Successful applicants must hold the equivalent of a master’s level degree in life sciences, mathematics, physics or computer sciences. The PhD fellowship
comprises a monthly stipend which is initially granted for 2 years and which can be extended for another 12 months. We offer an excellent
training program in computational systems biology, supervision by at least two experienced scientists, and multifarious opportunities for
developing local and international collaboration.

Applications (one PDF-file containing cover letter, CV, master/diploma certificate, 1-page project description, and names and addresses of 2 referees)should be sent preferably via email.

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Biophysics on 3D STEM, USA

/ January 24, 2011 Leave a Comment

The  Microscopy Group in the Materials Science and Technology Division at Oak Ridge  National Laboratory (ORNL) has a postdoctoral position available. We are  developing 3D scanning transmission electron microscopy, a novel method for  obtaining three-dimensional structural information about biological samples.  The technology is based on the principles of confocal microscopy but provides  higher resolution with the use of an aberration corrected scanning transmission  electron microscope (STEM). 3D STEM is a unique alternative for electron  tomography with potentially improved capabilities. The project is a collaboration  between ORNL and Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC). The position is  on 3D STEM imaging, deconvolution, and data analysis.

Scholarship Application Deadline: Applications may be submitted throughout the year, and appointments may begin at any time.
