Adrian Lee Travel Scholarship, Australia: Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences

This Scholarship was established to encourage students undertaking PhD studies at UNSW to undertake a period of overseas study involving collaborative work with overseas universities or other international research institutions. Applicants must have been undertaking full-time study in a PhD program for at least 18 months in the School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Science (BABS), in any of the following three programs; Microbiology and Immunology (program code 1440), Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics (program code 1410) or Biotechnology (program code 1036). The value of the Scholarship is $5,000, payable in one lump sum. The Scholarship is tenable for one year only. Completed application forms and any supporting documentation should be scanned and emailed (preferably as a single pdf document) to the Graduate Research School on scholarships.grs@unsw.edu.au by the specified closing date.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 18 February 2011

PhD Studentship and Postdoctoral Position in Computational Systems Biology, Berlin

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.
