Doctoral Fellowship at the departments of Biology and Mathematics/Informatics of the University of Antwerp, Belgium

Study Subject(s): Plant Growth and Development

Course Level: PhD

Scholarship Provider: University of Antwerp, Belgium

Scholarship can be taken at: Belgium

Eligibility:
Candidates need to have completed a Master studies in Biology, Bio-engineering or Biochemistry, with a specialization in cell or molecular biology and have experience with plant research.

  • A good understanding of mathematics and informatics is an advantage.
  • Your teaching and research qualities are in line with the requirements of the University of Antwerp
  • You are prepared to conduct your work in the context of a multidisciplinary team.

Scholarship Open for International Students: No

Scholarship Description: The research aims to build a mechanistic understanding of the regulation of leaf growth in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. In the experimental groups the work focuses on the growth regulator auxin and its interaction with the growth processes cell division and expansion. This work is supported by the development of computer simulation models in the mathematical groups, in which experimental treatments are simulated to make predictions that can be verified experimentally. The combination of experimental and computational expertise will lead to a greater depth of our understanding of the regulation of growth regulation in plants.
-You perform molecular and cell biological research towards obtaining a PhD on the topic of the regulation of cell expansion during the development of Arabidopsis leaves. The project is conducted within the experimental research group “Plant Growth and Development”.
-You participate in the teaching and research support within the department of Biology. This entails limited involvement in the practical courses and the guidance of BSc and MSc projects.

Research Position in Centre for Studies in Science Policy at JNU, India: Socio-economic Study of Rainfed Agriculture and Low Input Animal Husbandry in India

/ May 12, 2011 Leave a Comment

Applications are invited from senior, middle and junior economists for a project entitled “Socio-economic Study of Rainfed Agriculture and Low Input Animal Husbandry in India”. The Economic Research Unit based at the Centre for Studies in Science Policy, Jawaharlal Nehru University is mandated to undertake macro-economic analyses, simulation modeling and case-study based analyses to improve our understanding of the functioning of rainfed dryland agriculture and its possible macroeconomic contribution in India. The objective of the Research Unit is to build an evidence-based case for directing more public investment to rainfed areas and the precise form such investment should take in the relevant sectors. The project is funded by the Ford Foundation and will run through December 31st, 2012.
A series of positions are being filled over the next few months, ranging from junior researchers to senior fellows. These are not time-bound positions, and hence applications are invited on a continuing basis. Successful candidates will need to have a PhD in Economics and some combination of experience of conducting field surveys, demonstrable abilities with statistical and econometric packages and a reasonable publication record. Salaries  for the respective positions will be awarded as per agreed upon in the final project budget. For clarifications please feel free to contact the Project Director. The qualified candidates should apply with their resumes and a sampling of their publications to the following address. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for the interview.

Scholarship Application Deadline: An application window is open from 1st May, 2011 to 1st September 2011.
