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.

TISS-Max Planck PhD and Postdoctoral Fellowships

/ January 20, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Tata Institute of Social Sciences and the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity, Göttingen, Germany are offering a limited number of Full- time Research Fellowships at both the doctoral (two nos.) and postdoctoral (one no.) levels for the 2010-11 academic year. These fellowships are to support advanced research in the field of “Urban Religion in Mumbai”. The research study should focus on ethnographic research on various religions and their practices in the Mumbai city. An important focus of the project will be the links between media-centered religious aspirations, including its transnational ramifications, and local political and economic ambitions. Ethnographic field research will pay close attention to the transnational circulation of religious media, plus uses of the internet, which now combines all forms of audio and audiovisual media. The goal is to arrive at a better understanding of how such media practices become part of the lives and aspirations in this challenging urban setting. Thematic Areas of Focus The doctoral fellowships are for a three-year period and the postdoctoral fellowship is for a duration of one year.
