An International Research Training Group (IRTG) on “Materials and
Concepts for
Advanced Interconnects”, jointly sponsored by the German Research
Foundation
(DFG) and the Chinese Ministry of Education, is being established
between German
Universities and leading Chinese universities in Shanghai (Fudan
University
and Shanghai Jiao Tong University).
The IRTG is similar to a Graduiertenkolleg of the DFG, however, with a
strong
international component. There will be regular joint workshops either
in Germany
or China. Usually, most German PhD students will spent a certain part
(usually 1
semester) of their research time in China.
Within this activity, at Chemnitz University of Technology
PhD positions
are open at the Solid-State Physics group (project G6). The aim of this
work is to
investigate problems of mechanical behaviour of materials (stresses,
cracking,
plastic deformation etc.) which are relevant to new materials and
concepts
in metallization systems for ultra-large scale integrated circuits.
The Solid-State Physics group is active in mechanical characterisation
of bulk
materials and thin films by nanoindentation in combination with
theoretical modelling.
In addition to conventional nanoindentation devices, a unique device
Universal
Nanomechanical Tester (UNAT) will be available soon, which allows to
employ
force and displacement not only in normal but also in lateral
direction. This
enables many interesting investigations which were not possible so far.
For the work in mechanical characterisation we welcome applications of
highly
qualified graduates in Mechanical Engineering (particularly Solid-State
Mechanics),
Crystallography, Materials Science, or Physics.
A strong interest in multidisciplinary
research is required.

PhD position available
Within the frame work of the Marie-Curie Research Training Network
n°019481 ‘From FLIM to FLIN’ coordinated by Prof Ton Visser, Laser Centre
Vrije Universiteit (Amsterdam) in which 9 European laboratories teamed
up to study single-molecule interactions in live cells a PhD position is
available in Paris-France, starting September 2006 for 3 years.
The scientific project involves the development of ultra-low background
fluorescence detection for intracellular single-molecule FRET
detection. We aim at improving the signal-to-background ratio (SBR) by using (i)
non-linear evanescent-field excitation, (ii) surface-enhanced
evanescent-field, (iii) directional emission detection, (iv) time-gated lock-in
detection.
Biological applications include the imaging of single intracellularly
targeted nanocrystals as nanoscale biosensing platforms, of individual
Ca2+ signalling microdomains (see Becherer et al. Nature Neuroscience
6(8):846-53, 2003) and the study of Ca2+ compartmentalisation in mouse
astrocytes.
This topic is investigated in the Molecular and cellular biophysics of
synaptic transmission group in collaboration with chemists and
neurobiologists of the Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS). Fluorescence lifetime
and non-linear TIRF experiments will involve a strong interaction with
the Kemnitz group (Berlin, http://www.euro-flin.de/html/img_0353b.html)
We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with background in at
least three of the following fields: applied physics, surface chemistry,
microscopic imaging, fluorescence spectroscopy, single-molecule
detection, near-field techniques. Additional expertise in biophysics, cell
biology or molecular biology will be of advantage. Candidates should have
a good practice in quantitative image anlysis and feel comfortable with
programming and electronics.
Candidates should send until August 5, 2006 a letter of motivation,
c.v. and publication list, as well as three academic references. The Oheim
lab is actively working towards increasing the percentage of women in
science.
The PhD student will be paid a salary and allowance based on EU
regulations relating to the Marie-Curie training programme.

Formation and maintenance of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) needs as
a prerequisite secretion of agrin by the nerve and activation of the
receptor tyrosin kinase MuSK at the muscle fiber. These processes mediate
the development of a neuromuscular synapse by the induction of several
signaling pathways leading to the aggregation of the components of the
postsynaptic apparatus, like the neurotransmitter receptors.
We analyze:
1. importance of agrin induced signal transduction pathways at the
NMJ
2. the impact of proteins, like CK2, interacting with MuSK and
involved in downstream signaling events
3. the biological role of MuSK expression in the CNS

Otto-von-Guericke-University in Magdeburg, Germany, offers a Research position for
a PhD student Salary: 0.5 BAT IIA (from january 2007 0.75 BAT IIA)
Title: Spatiotemporal Synchronization of Interacting Cells
The project is aimed to elucidate the mechanisms for synchronization of
the energy metabolism (glycolysis) in living yeast cell suspensions
with respect to spatial interactions. First results indicate that
reaction-diffusion waves mediate the spatial synchronization. Based on the
fundamental properties of reaction-diffusion waves, we want to control the
propagation dynamics of the waves by external forces (electrical
fields, temperature) in order to unravel their function for biological
information processing and to control the cell behavior. This project is
performed in tight cooperation with the group of Theoretical Biophysics
from the Humboldt University Berlin (Prof. R. Heinrich).
Successful candidates should have a diploma or master degree in
Physics/Biophysics or Biology and should bring along a strong willingness for
interdisciplinary research.

Recent work has revealed striking similarities between the molecular
organization of animal and plant systems for nonself recognition and
anti-microbial defense. Remarkable similarities have been uncovered in the
modular structure of mammalian Toll-like receptors and plant PAMP
recognition receptors – consisting of leucine-rich repeats, a transmembrane
and a kinase (domain) (for review: Nürnberger, T., Brunner, F.,
Kemmerling, B., Piater, L. (2004). Immunol. Rev. 198, 249-266).
In a whole genome microarray-based approach we identified 49 candidate
genes of receptor-like kinases that might be involved in defense
responses. Among those is the LRR-RLK BAK1 (brassinosteroid receptor BRI1
associated kinase 1). Inactivation of the bak1 gene results in an enhanced
susceptibility phenotype against necrotrophic fungal infection that is
independent of brassinosteroid signaling, suggesting a BRI1- and
brassinosteroid-independent function of BAK1 in plant immunity.
A PhD project (BATIIa/2; three years) is now available in my lab to
conduct an in-depth functional analysis of the BAK1 protein, involving:
• Purification of BAK1 protein complexes from infected and
uninfected tissue for identification of (differential) interaction partners
of BAK1 by co-immunoprecipitation, 2D-PAGE, MALDI-TOF-MS
• Functional Characterization of BAK1 interactors
• Analysis of BAK1 in vivo phosphorylation patterns after
infection by Q-TOF-LC-MS/MS
• Functional characterization of phosphorylation sites by mutant
complementation assays
The candidate must hold a degree in biology or biochemistry should be
highly motivated and should have an expertise in biochemistry and/or
molecular genetics. Please send a cover letter, research experience, a CV

The atmospheric chemistry group of IMAU focuses on the investigation of
the global cycles of atmospheric trace species. Our analytical approach
is to use measurements of the isotopic composition, because they
provide more detailed insight than measurements of the concentration alone. A
PhD position is available to extend this method to organic trace gases
in the atmosphere. Organic trace gases contribute to the formation of
ozone near the ground and of organic aerosols, both of which are harmful
contaminants. Halogenated organic compounds are furthermore a source of
ozone-destroying halogens to the atmosphere.
One focus will be the analysis of large volume air samples that have
been collected by the CARIBIC aircraft (Civil Aircraft for the Regular
Investigation of the atmosphere Based on an Instrument Container) over a
period of several years. The samples have been collected in upper
troposphere / lower stratosphere (UTLS) region which is considered as a key
region of the atmosphere as far as composition and climate interactions
are concerned.
Tasks:
The work includes development of a new analytical technique for 13C and
2H (and possibly 18O) measurements on VOC, reactor studies in the
laboratory to characterize isotopic fractionation constants, collection of
samples in various field campaigns, measurement of atmospheric samples
and interpretation of the results, potentially using atmospheric models.
You are expected to present the results at international workshops and
conferences, and write articles for peer-reviewed journals. The
successful PhD candidate will compile the results in a thesis.
You will have to assist with the educational program within the Faculty
of Physics and Astronomy (max. 10% of working time).
Requirements:
University Graduate Qualifications:
Candidates should hold a degree in (analytical) chemistry, physics, or
meteorology with firm interest and good knowledge of atmospheric
sciences. Interest in experimental work and good technical skills are
advantageous.
Organization:
Utrecht University, Faculty of Physics and Astronomy:
The new Faculty of Science consists of six departments: Biology,
Pharmaceutical Sciences, Information and Computing Sciences, Physics and
Astronomy, Chemistry and Mathematics. The Faculty is home to 3500 students

The chemistry of actinides under environmental conditions is a
challenging field in computational chemistry, of great practical importance for
environmental issus and repository technology. We are looking for a PhD
student who will participate in a project focussing on the interaction
of actinide ions with humic acids and clay minerals. Candidates should
have experience in computational chemistry. A background in inorganic
chemistry or chemical thermodynamics is also beneficial. A candidate
with interest in method development may also contribute to method-oriented
work in this field. Depending on the particular problem, the molecular
relativistic density functional code ParaGauss developed in our group
and the periodic supercell code VASP will be applied at our
high-capacity Linux cluster and at several supercomputers. The project will be
carried out in an international team and involves collaboration with
experimental partners.

CONSEJOS BECAS EN AUSTRALIA
Muchas de las becas dicen ser solamente para “Australian Citizens and
residents”. Lo que esto significa simplemente es que la beca solo cubre
la manutencion (y la matricula es gratis para ciudadanos y residentes
en
Australia). Los estudiantes internacionales SON (somos) elegibles para
estas becas pero deben conseguir como pagar la matricula (con recursos
propios o con otra BECA). La principal beca para matricula de
estudiantes internacionales se llama “International Postgraduate
Research Scholarship” (IPRS) aunque hay VARIAS BECAS DIFERENTES.
Ciertas
becas cubren incluso el pasaje a Australia. Lo primero que hay que
hacer
es contactar la persona que ofrece la beca y comprobar que estan
interesados en uno (estudios o experiencia previa, ingles,
recomendaciones, etc). Si estan interesados en uno es cuestion de
APLICAR A LA BECA DIRECTAMENTE con la Universidad y empezar a buscar
una
beca que pague la matricula. Mucha suerte y reenvien este e-mail a
TODOS
sus amigos colombianos tan pronto como les llegue para que no se pasen
las fechas de cierre de las becas.
Algunas becas piden algo llamado “HONOURS”. Honours consiste en un
trabajo corto de investigacion que se hace en un periodo de seis meses
a
un año. Es casi comparable a las tesis de pregrado que se realiza en
varias carreras en las universidades colombianas. P.d. Como estudiantes
se puede trabajar 20 horas semanales en Australia.
