Study in Denmark ; PhD Fellow in Plant Epigenetics Denmark

Department of Plant Biology and Biotechnology Faculty of Life Sciences at University of Copenhagen is offering a PhD scholarship for 4 years (4+4 programme) commencing 1 April 2011 or soon thereafter. The application deadline is 1 March 2011.
Scholarship Details:
The work of the PhD fellow will consist mainly of duties in connection with the research project Epigenetic regulation of plant traits. The project aims at discover new layers of regulation of plant appearance. In biology, and specifically genetics, epigenetics is the study of inherited changes in phenotype (appearance) or gene expression caused by mechanisms other than changes in the underlying DNA sequence. These changes may remain through cell divisions for the remainder of the cell´s life and may also last for multiple generations. However, there is no change in the underlying DNA sequence of the organism; instead, non-genetic factors cause the organism´s genes to express themselves differently. The project is part of the program in the Centre for Membrane Pumps in Cells and Disease – PUMPKIN (http://pumpkin.au.dk).

Support Details:
Therefore, the Paul Celan Fellowships support East-West, West-East and East-East translations of canonical texts as well as contemporary key works in the Humanities, Social Sciences and in the field of Cultural Studies. Special emphasis is put on translations of relevant works written by East European authors and/or by female scholars. A thematic relation to one of the IWM ’s research fields is likewise welcomed. Please note that no applications for works of fiction and poetry are being accepted.

Scholarship Details: The VBC PhD programme is competitive. Attracted by the high quality of research, the strong scientific support, and the great city of Vienna, about 200 students apply in each selection.

All prospective students come to the VBC campus for five days, during which, they have the opportunity to learn first-hand more about the programme, life in Vienna, and research at the VBC. The VBC PhD programme covers travel costs and accommodation during the visit. A formal interview on the second day requires that the prospective students present a short “journal club” and their own research experience to a panel of VBC faculty. More details about the formal interview are provided to students when they are invited. Candidates who perform well in the interview then have two days to discuss potential research projects with individual group leaders and get to know the different labs. During this discussion period, students prioritize the groups they would like to join. Finally, group leaders offer positions to the students who best fit the project and the lab. Candidates have 3 weeks to accept or decline the offer.

Study in Netherlands : PhD Student for Molecular Carcinogenesis 2011, Netherlands


Scholarship Details:
Recurring chromosomal abnormalities have been identified in a variety of cancers, but are most frequently associated with haematological malignancies such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML). These cytogenetic changes often cause gene fusions leading to expression of chimeric oncofusion proteins. In this project you will focus on unravelling the role of these oncofusion proteins in carcinogenesis. Your aim will be to identify the binding regions, the transcriptional consequences and epigenetic features associated with oncofusion protein expression.
You will use next-generation sequencing to identify oncofusion protein target sites, which then will be further characterized, structurally as well as functionally, in relation to the aetiology of acute myeloid leukemia.
Requirement Details:
You should have:
• an MSc degree in Biomedical Sciences/Biology/Molecular Life Sciences/Bioinformatics;
• experience in Molecular and Cell Biology and/or Bioinformatics;
• a strong affinity for fundamental research related to human disease;
• a well-structured working style;
• well-developed social and communication skills.
You are accurate, and motivated to perform cutting-edge research.
Organization Details:
Research at the department of Molecular Biology is aimed at unravelling the molecular basis of development and differentiation emanating from the genome and epigenome in the context of health and disease with an emphasis on cancer.
State-of-the-art technologies are applied ranging from single molecule studies to genome-wide elucidation of genetic and epigenetic pathways and mechanisms.
A next-generation sequencing platform is operational in the department for analysis of transcription factor binding sites, epigenetic marks, DNA methylation and RNA seq at a comprehensive genome-wide scale.
In-depth analysis of genome-wide data is performed and sustained by our own bioinformatic team as well as with outside collaborators.
Moreover, the group participates in a number of international consortia tackling pathways and molecular mechanisms in lineage commitment of (embryonic) stem cells.
