We are looking for exceptional students who are willing to take Systems Biology into the post-genomics era. Recent breakthroughs in a number of high-throughput quantitative technologies now allow comprehensive, quantitative analysis of biological systems. Comprehensive quantification of biological systems at the level of genes, mRNAs, proteins and metabolites is now in reach. These data naturally require novel processing and analysis methods from the domain of Bioinformatics.
We welcome student applicants who wish to drive computational projects in subject areas such as next-generation sequencing, quantitative mass spectrometry, imaging, network reconstruction and modelling.
The PhD students are expected to divide their time between Berlin and New York, taking advantage of this wealth of research expertise alongside other appropriate broader training opportunities (e.g. Summer Schools). Funds are included for travel from Berlin for short and long term working periods in New York (or vice versa) as well as participation in courses at both locations. Each PhD student receives directed support to enable them to create their own research and training portfolio – a portfolio which not only equips them to conduct their own PhD research but furthermore prepares them for the world of global research and scholarship beyond.
Formal applications should be submitted in the form of a CV, a covering letter outlining motivation, interest, and suitability for this project and transcripts of academic qualifications to date in one pdf file to Dr Christoph Dieterich at christoph.dieterich@mdc-berlin.de. Contact details for two references should also be provided. Informal email enquiries are welcome.
Application deadline is Sunday 31st May 2009
