Postdoctoral for MicroRNA Research at BRIC, University of Copenhagen, Denmark

/ February 2, 2011 Leave a Comment

Scholarship Description:A European Union funded postdoctoral position is available in the group of Associate Professor Roger Pocock at BRIC, University of Copenhagen. Research in the group is focused neuronal development and microRNA-mediated stress responses.

We are interested in understanding how animals control stress responses. To this end, we have identified specific microRNAs in C. elegans that are required under stress. The postdoctoral position will involve characterization of the stress-responsive roles of these microRNAs at the molecular and cellular level.

The position is for 3 years and is scheduled to start in 2011. Salary, pension and terms of employment follow the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Academics Central Organization.

Scholarship Application Deadline: March 14, 2011.

The Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen, is recruiting a post doctoral researcher for a 2-year project to work on mechanisms of microRNA (miRNA) action in the newly established research group of Peter Brodersen. The starting date is April 1st 2011 or as soon as possible thereafter. The group is housed in the recently inaugurated Biocenter in central Copenhagen, Denmark. Looking for a highly motivated individual with a Ph.D. degree in molecular biology or equivalent. Experience with protein purification in addition to standard molecular biological skills will be considered an advantage, but is not a formal requirement. The applicant must be fluent in written as well as spoken English. The position is open to all applicants regardless of nationality, and will be funded by a grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation.

Terms of appointment and payment are in accordance with the agreement between the Danish Ministry of Finance and the Danish Federation of Professional Associations (AC).

KTH School of Computer Science and Communication (CSC) announces a postdoctoral position in neuroinformatics in collaboration with Stockholm Brain Institute (SBI) and international partners
The Department of Computational Biology (CB) at CSC and Nada conducts research in the areas of computational neuroscience, neuroinformatics, neurocomputing, systems biology, bioinformatics and biological physics. The computational neuroscience research is specialized in modelling and simulation of the neuronal networks of the brain as well as brain-inspired computational architectures and algorithms. The methodological approaches span multiple scales, from simulation of subcellular signaling pathways to biophysically detailed or abstract modelling of large-scale neuronal networks. The group is partner of SBI and manages its computational and modelling platform.
Stockholm Brain Institute (SBI) is a brain research consortium in Stockholm with a focus on cognitive and computational neuroscience that joins research groups from Karolinska institutet, KTH, and Stockholm University.
CB currently has an opening for a postdoctoral position at Stockholm University in neuroinformatics aimed at development and use of advanced computational tools for analysis of multidimensional data produced by computational brain models. A focus is on parallel computing in a Linux environment using available high-end cluster supercomputers. The position is partly connected to SBI. Co-supervising of PhD students may take place.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 31 January 2011
