Postdoctoral Positions in DNA Synthesis and Regulation at Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics, Sweden

/ January 17, 2011 Leave a Comment

The research is focused on ribonucleotide reductase, a key enzyme in the synthesis of the DNA building blocks, dNTPs. One aim is to conditionally knock out the ribonucleotide reductase large subunit (R1) in differentiated mammalian cells to study:
i) The need for de novo dNTP synthesis for DNA repair in differentiated cells.
ii) The need for de novo dNTP synthesis for mitochondrial DNA replication and repair.
iii) The composition of the ribonucleotide reductase enzyme in differentiated cells. We also want to identify ribonucleotide reductase-interacting proteins using immunoprecipitations and chromatin immunopreciptations from synchronized mammalian cell extracts.

Methods:
The studies involve standard cell and molecular biology and biochemical techniques. Position description: The position is available for the initial 2 years as a tax-exempt fellowship with a possibility of extension. Location: The Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics consists of 15 independent groups employing around 80 people. The department is located within the Chemical Biological Centre at Umeå University and provides well- equipped common facilities and excellent platforms in a creative, inspiring and highly interactive environment.
Fellowship Application Deadline: 31 January 2011

MENA Scholarship Programme 2011

/ January 17, 2011 Leave a Comment

The MENA Scholarship Programme aims to contribute to capacity building within organizations and institutions in the six selected countries: Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman and Syria. Moreover, a network of over 100 alumni positively contributes to the relations between their respective countries and the Netherlands.

Scholarships are only available for short courses included on the MENA course list 2010. Scholarship applications for participation in other courses will not be considered. A MENA scholarship is a contribution to the costs of the chosen short course. The following items are covered: subsistence allowance, international travel costs, visa costs, tuition fee, medical insurance and an allowance for study materials. The Dutch institution pays the MENA allowances to the scholarship holder.

The allowances are considered to be sufficient to cover one person’s living expenses during the study period. The fellowship holders must cover any other costs from their own resources.

Rules & Regulations

The Programme is governed in general by the Rules & Regulations of the Netherlands Fellowship Programmes, although there are exceptions for certain procedures (securing placement, selection of candidates). Selected candidates will receive a copy of the NFP
Scholarship Application Deadline: 1 March 2011 or 1 July 2011
