Scholarships PhD Position in Biophysics 2011
PhD position in biophysics 2011 at Univ K????ln Germany
Bacteria can acquire genetic diversity including antibiotic resistance and
virulence traits by horizontal gene transfer. In particular, many bacteria are
naturally competent for DNA transformation in which bacteria import naked DNA
from their environment. Although the proteins that are required for DNA import
are mostly known, the molecular mechanism of DNA import is unclear. We designed
and tested laser tweezers for studying dynamics and force generation of
individual molecular motors in living bacteria in different model bacteria

In future studies we want to implement methods of statistical physics for
addressing the molecular mechanism of DNA transport through the bacterial cell
envelope in the human pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
We are currently recruiting a physicist (master or diploma in physics) with
background in biophysics. He / she should be interested both in improving the
laser tweezers (hardware and algorithms for analysis) and designing approaches
to decipher the molecular mechanics of DNA import by bacteria at the single
molecule level.
Methods: laser tweezers, single molecule fluorescence microscopy,
microbiological methods
Start 1.06.2011 or later (E13, 65%)
Disabled individuals with equal personal and technical eligibility will be
favored. The WWU is commited to increasing the ratio of women in research. Women
are therefore invited to apply for this position.

Ph.D. Position in Plant Systematics and Evolution

2011-05-05T17:08:00.000-07:00

Ph.D. Position in Plant Systematics and Evolution
Open PhD position in plant systematics/ evolution at Institute of Botany Univ
Regensburg Germany
A 3-years Ph.D. position is presently available in the area of plant systematics
and evolution at the Institute of Botany of the University of Regensburg, under
the supervision of Prof. Dr. Christoph Oberprieler and in co-operation with Dr.
Robert Vogt (Botanic Garden & Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem)

The salary will be according the TV-L E13/2. The Ph.D. project will focus on the evolution of
polyploidy in the genus Leucanthemum (Compositae, Anthemideae) and will use this
genus of around 40 species distributed in southern and central Europe as a model
to investigate the genetic, genomic, biogeographical and ecological consequences
of polyploidy. Work packages envisaged will comprise (a) expression studies of
genes in diploid and polyploid members, (b) the phylogeography of species and
species groups of this genus, and (c) the taxonomical treatment of the genus in
S France and Italy based on morphological, cytological, and molecular evidence.
The project will complement a presently ongoing Ph.D. project dealing with the
phylogeny of the genus throughout its whole geographical range. The project will
include travelling throughout S Europe to collect plant material in natural
populations.
Deadline for application: May 15, 2011. If needed, the position will remain open
until a suitable candidate is found.
Starting date: July 1, 2011
Requirements: Applicants are expected to have their Masters/Diploma degree by
the start of the Ph.D. project. Good knowledge of English and German are highly
desirable. The ideal candidate will have documented experience in one or more of
the following areas: molecular biology, expression techniques, phylogeny
reconstruction, population genetics, and botanical field work (including the
possession of a driver????s licence). The selected candidate will be a member of
the Regensburg International Graduate School of Biological Sciences (RIGeL;
http://www.biologie.uni-regensburg.de/RIGeL/index.html

).
How to apply: Please send you application including (a) an application letter
addressing your motives for application and your career goals, (b) a detailed CV
including a detailed list of molecular, analytical, linguistic, and field work
skills, presentations at scientific meetings, and publications (if applicable),
and (c) addresses of two academic advisors who could comment on your skills,
your dedication to science, and your ability to work cooperatively in a team.
