IMPRS-UFAST PhD Scholarship Programme, Germany: ultrafast imaging with a view to exploring structural changes of atoms, molecules, condensed, biological, or warm dense matter on femtosecond time scales.

/ March 29, 2011 Leave a Comment

IMPRS-UFAST is a PhD programme which offers unique training opportunities in the field of ultrafast imaging with a view to exploring structural changes of atoms, molecules, condensed, biological, or warm dense matter on femtosecond time scales. Students work and research alongside an international and interdisciplinary team of experts with access to first-class research facilities and whilst obtaining a PhD degree. Our mission is to enable young scientists to achieve their full potential through supervised thesis research complemented by a multifaceted programme of lectures, interactive workshops and advanced courses. The duration of the programme is 3 years.
IMPRS-UFAST students normally graduate from the programme with a doctorate (Dr. rer. Nat, the German equivalent to a PhD) which is awarded by the University of Hamburg. The language of instruction is English and the Research School strives to attract a diversity of talented students from around the world. Funding in form of stipends and PhD contracts is available. Applicants will hold or are about to receive an MSc, a German “Diplom” or an equivalent degree in an area relevant to the programme. Please apply online under http://www.imprs-ufast.de/application_and_admission/ . The programme starts in October 2011.The IMPRS-UFAST is a collaboration of the Max Planck Society, the University of Hamburg, Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron (DESY), and European XFEL GmbH. The location of the School is Hamburg, Germany.

We seek motivated and ambitious collaborators and provide a well-equipped, interactive environment. The institute operates central facilities for animal work, cell sorting, sequencing, imaging, and proteomics. Candidates should have completed their PhD work with distinction in an area broadly relevant to our work. Expertise in other fields, such as mathematical modelling, biochemistry, etc. is also welcome.

The salary will be a postdoctoral fellowship of the Max Planck Society.

A childcare facility is directly attached to the institute. Handicapped applicants with equal qualifications will be given preferential treatment. The Max Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in areas, where they are under-represented, and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply.

Research Assistant Position, The Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, Germany

/ January 27, 2011 Leave a Comment

We are currently seeking a research assistant (MTA or BTA) in the laboratory of Dr. Jochen Rink at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, Dresden. The lab studies planarian flatworms, which are an exciting new model system for regeneration research.

The successful applicant will take an active part in the research, requiring a genuine interest in biology, precise and reliable working habits and excellent communication skills for synergizing with the highly interactive work environment at the MPI-CBG. Experience with molecular biology (plasmid isolation, cloning, PCR, recombinant protein expression) and antibody production would be advantageous. The applicant will further take over lab maintenance responsibilities, including ordering and organizing/maintaining reagent collections, for which computer skills would be helpful. The working language of the MPI-CBG is English.

The position is initially for 2 years and will be compensated according to the TVÖD scale.

The Max Planck Society is committed to employing more handicapped individuals and especially encourages them to apply. The Max Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 28 January 2011
