University of Florida Water Institute PhD Fellowship, USA: Nutrient dynamics, Management and policy in water sheds

The University of Florida Water Institute seeks applicants for up to 6 Ph.D. Fellows to join an interdisciplinary team working on complex, emerging issues related to nutrient dynamics, management and policy in watersheds. The 4-year fellowships include a $25,000 stipend, tuition waiver and health insurance.
Fellows will explore interdisciplinary research issues affecting watershed management in the face of EPA’s new nutrient criteria for
Florida waters. We seek students who have: 1) an interest in integrative, cross-disciplinary research, 2) a passion for understanding interactions between human and natural systems, and 3) an eagerness to develop research in one facet of the program, i.e.nutrient best management practices, hydrologic processes, riverine nutrient processing, ecological consequences of nutrient enrichment,
paleolimnology, environmental policy and governance, and systems modeling.

Fellows will be supported by an internal research grants program andN will benefit from international field experiences and integrative
activities that enhance interdisciplinary skills. Applicants must have a Masters degree in natural sciences, social sciences or engineering
with strong demonstrated interest in water issues.

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.
