In the Max-Planck-Institute of Molecular Physiology, Department of Systemic Cell Biology in Dortmund/Germany a PhD position

PhD position is available for a 3-year BMBF financed project.

Cell-matrix adhesion is a fundamental process by which cells interact with their immediate
environment, sense and respond to it, control their morphology and migrate. These functions are
mediated by dynamic adhesion sites located along the plasma membrane of the cell and
composed of numerous different proteins interacting with each other. We will develop and apply
advanced fluorescence-microscopy imaging, statistical, computational and systems biology
approaches in order to study how adhesion sites get organized and respond to different
extracellular and intracellular cues. For this project we are looking for PhD students enthusiastic
about systems biology and interdisciplinary work, with a background in biology or physics.
PhD position (P5): Development of spatially resolve approaches for fluorescence correlation
spectroscopy. Requirements: Master/diploma degree in physics or a related field with experience
in experimental optics and instrumentation as well as interest in addressing biological problems.
Women and handicapped people are explicitly invited to apply.
Please send applications to Dr. Hernán Grecco, E-Mail: hernan-edgardo.grecco@mpidortmund.
mpg.de. In your application, please refer to the position (P5) you apply for and include
a cover letter, recent CV, copies of your certificates as well as two names of references with
contact details. Please submit all documents before May 10th, 2009.
Starting date of the position: August 1st, 2009.

Ph.D. studentships in “Conformational transitions in macromolecular interactions”

Ph.D. studentships available
Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg
Bereich Biochemie/Biologie/Biophysik
A number of Ph.D. studentships will be available from July 1st 2009
within the 2005 established DFG Graduate College 1026 “Conformational
transitions in macromolecular interactions” (www.biochemtech.
uni-halle.de/grk1026) as well as the recently established BMBF
‘Zentrum für Innovationskompetenz’ HALOmem (www.halomem.de).
The aim of the interdisciplinary GRK is to study the causes and effects
of protein folding transitions on biological macromolecular complex formation
in a collaborative environment, using a wide variety of biophysical,
biochemical and cell biological approaches. HALOmem
focuses on the structure and dynamics of integral membrane proteins
and their membranes.
Successful candidates should be highly motivated, of above average
ability and good team workers. They should hold a degree in Biochemistry,
Biology, Chemistry, Pharmacy or Physics, and have a keen
interest in acquiring the broad range of available techniques necessary
to tackle the experimental problems and questions involved.
For more details contact the coordinator of the GRK 1026:
