PhD in Neurobiology/Functional Genomics at University of Heidelberg.
Applications are invited for a vacant PhD position (starting as soon as possible,
TVL13/2) to join a dynamic research group (Functional Genomics, headed
by Prof. Ulrike Müller) at the Institute for Pharmacy and Molecular Biotechnology
IPMB, University of Heidelberg.
Our research group is interested in the physiological and pathological function
of proteins involved in Alzheimer´s disease, in particular proteins of the
amyloid precursor protein APP gene family (e.g. Herms et al., The EMBO J.
23: 4106; Ring et al. J. Neuroscience, 27, 7817). Although APP and its metabolism
is central to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer´s disease the physiological
and normal cell biological functions of APP family proteins are poorly
understood. Current projects focus on the role of APP family proteins in the
nervous system including the generation, function and maintenance of synapses.
These studies will involve work with gene targeted mouse mutants
and cells derived from them that are studied by biochemical, cell biological
and immunocytochemical methods. Applicants should be highly motivated
and hold a degree in Neurobiology, Biology, Medicine or Biochemistry. Experience
in neurobiology, cell biology or biochemistry including the analysis of
transgenic mice are an advantage.
The University of Heidelberg strongly encourages qualified women scholars to apply.
Handicapped persons with the same equivalent qualifications will be given preference.
If interested please send a short application including CV, statement of research
experience and interests, publications and names of two referees to

Research work will involve a specific area of cancer genetics leading to
doctoral thesis. The study will include an investigation of genetic variants
involved in the susceptibility of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia
identified by genome wide analysis using SNP microarrays. The basis of
project is to identify predisposing genetic factors and role of such genetic
factors in the disease outcome. The project will involve the use of Hap-
Map data to identify haplotypes and tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms
to capture maximum information about the involvement of
haplotypes in risk modulation of the disease. The research work will
involve use of bioinformatics, biostatistics and extensive laboratory work.
The project is being carried out collaboration with Prof. Dr. C. R. Bartram,
