Doctorate Scholarship in the field of Faculty of Humanities at University of Copenhagen in Denmark-2011

PhD School offers a wide range of Research programmes with research courses of a high quality and enrols approximately 70 PhD scholars each year. More than 300 distinguished scholars and researchers are connected to the PhD School as teachers and supervisors. In addition, the PhD School offers a variety of services to help doctoral students with practical matters before enrolment, during their studies and with career guidance after graduation. We invite you to use this website to enhance your knowledge of the PhD School, funding possibilities and of the Faculty of Humanities as a place of exciting living and learning.

Applicants need to hold a two-year Master’s degree (120 ECTS) or the equivalent, or expect to receive such by 30 September 2011. Applicants shall have submitted their thesis at the time of application, to the extent the thesis forms part of their Master’s program. Applicants with a non-Danish Master’s degree will have their degree assessed by The Danish Agency for International Education to establish, if the Master’s degree is equivalent to a Danish Master’s degree.

2011 Postdoctoral Fellowship in the field of Biological Chemistry at John Innes Centre in UK

JIC is an independent, international centre of excellence in plant science and microbiology. Our mission is to carry out fundamental and strategic research, to train scientists and to make our findings available to society.The Biological Chemistry Department at the John Innes Centre carries out fundamental research on molecular processes in plants and microbes.We have recently discovered a novel maltosyl transferase, GlgE, and its role within a new pathway for glucan biosynthesis. This pathway is important because it is involved in Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogenesis and is a new target with a novel mode of action for anti-tuberculosis therapies.

The successful candidate will have a PhD in biochemistry or equivalent experience alongside relevant research experience. Publications in International peer-reviewed journals are essential. The postholder will also have experience in enzymology together with good interpersonal and computer skills. Relevant experience of recombinant protein expression/mutagenesis, carbohydrate active enzymes, kinetics, enzyme regulation, oligo/polysaccharide analyses and protein crystallography are highly desirable.

Postdoctoral Position in Cardiovascular Development in Zebrafish at MDC in Germany

Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine offers Postdoctoral Position in Cardiovascular Development in Zebrafish 2011

Study Subject:Cardiovascular Development in Zebrafish
Employer: Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine
Level: Postdoctoral

We are a newly starting team studying the interplay between major signaling pathways and electrochemical cues both during normal cardiac development and in the disease states. We utilize state-of-the-art techniques such as high resolution optical voltage mapping and calcium imaging to explore the role of electrochemical stimuli throughout development in the zebrafish. Our recent findings have demonstrated that Wnt11 signaling patterns intercellular electrical coupling of developing cardiomyocytes through effects on transmembrane calcium conductance mediated via the L-type calcium channel. Several exciting projects are available focusing on: (i) molecular mechanisms leading to the Wnt-mediated attenuation of L-type calcium channels, (ii) characterizing how non-canonical Wnt signals compartmentalize and affect different calcium domains in various tissues, and (iii) determining how electrochemical signals modulated by Wnt11 regulate cardiac morphogenesis and function.

Skills: The candidate should have obtained a PhD within a relevant research area (i.e. Molecular and Developmental Biology, Biochemistry, Physiology, or Biophysics). Previous experience in protein biochemistry or electrophysiology is an asset. We offer an excellent research environment expert in a range of techniques that we hope highly motivated individuals will apply both toward the described projects, and projects of their own development.

Postdoctoral Position in Redox Regulation at German Cancer Research Center-2011

2011 Postdoctoral Position in the field of Redox Regulation at German Cancer Research Center

The division Redox Regulation seeks scientifically dedicted applicants for a post-doctoral position to study how endogenous oxidants regulate the initiation and termination of inflammation. The project is part of the newly established DFG-funded Collaborative Research Center SFB 938 “Milieu-dependent regulation of immunological reactivity”. The project will investigate a H2O2-sensing protein involved in the control of inflammatory signaling pathways in myeloid cells.

The DKFZ is the largest biomedical research institute in Germany and offers an excellent research environment with state of the art equipment and core facilities. The institute is very international and command of the German language is not essential. Ihr Profil: A PhD in the Life Sciences, advanced knowledge of biochemistry/molecular biology and immunology, and substantial laboratory experience are required. The successful candidate must be fluent in English, with excellent writing and communication skills. He/she should enjoy working in a team, and with collaborators. Applications should include cover letter, CV, copies of university exams and address details of 2 referees
