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.

ARC Linkage Grant in Autoconfiguration of Critical Network Infrastructure, Australia: Mathematical Science

/ January 24, 2011 Leave a Comment

Applications are invited for the following scholarship leading to the degree of PhD in mathematical science.
The scholarship is supported by the Australian Research Council Linkage grant scheme and CQR Consulting.
Australia’s critical infrastructure, e.g., water and electricity, rely more and more on computer networks. The goal of this project is to improve the security of these networks. The focus of the work will be on mathematical representations of the security system’s elements, with a view to allowing network and security specification to take place at a high level, and be automatically implemented without dealing with the minutia of configuration of individual devices such as firewalls and servers.  The potential impacts of the project include improvements to security in vital power stations and water plants, as well as improvements in efficiency in these same areas.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 28 February 2011

PhD and Post-Doc Positions in Tumor Immunology Research, Israel

/ January 20, 2011 Leave a Comment

M.Sc. / Ph.D. students and Post-Doctoral fellows are invited to join the laboratory of Cytokine Biology, in the Shraga Segal Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Faculty of Health Sciences
Major scientific projects of the laboratory include:
1). The role of inflammation in the malignant process (carcinogenesis, tumor invasion and metastasis, tumor angiogenesis and interactions of
the tumor with the host’s immune system).
2). Interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor and Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling in sterile inflammation and angiogenesis in the malignant
process.
3). Mechanisms and signaling pathways of novel intracellular non-secretable aisoforms of the cytokine IL-1.
4). Intervention in IL-1 expression in anti-tumor therapeutic approaches.
Techniques used in the laboratory include tissue culture and in vitro
work, molecular biology techniques and in vivo work. These are applied to cutting-edge issues in cytokine and tumor immunobiology, stem cell biology and angiogeesis. Excellent teamwork and atmosphere
Excellent Students could apply to the “Bio medicine Challenges” program for generous funding of the degree and full stipend.
