[Germany] PhD Fellowships at University of Bonn
Within the interdisciplinary research training group
“Analysis of cell function by combinatorial chemistry and biochemistry - Chemical biology and membrane-bound signal transduction”
which is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft
are open positions for
PhD Fellowships
from April 2007 or later for the period of 3 years. Available are 11 scholarships for PhD Students with an excellent study record, and one qualifying scholarship for a graduate from a university of applied sciences for one year to qualify for the PhD program.
The research training group is open for PhD Students in the field of biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology and chemical biology.
The major research interest of the research training group is the elucidation and analysis of the membrane-bound signal transduction by using small molecule inhibitors and aptamers as tools in chemical biology, cheminformatics, cell biology and molecular biology. Focal points are the study of mechanisms of cell proliferation and differentiation in the immune system and in cancer. For examples of one of the approaches applied in the research training group please see: Nature 2006, 444: 941-944 and 945-948.
The accompanying interdisciplinary graduate school program is designed to provide a solid background in the life sciences with the main focus on chemical biology and molecular biomedicine.
We expect an above average success in your academic career and a high motivation for working in the highly interdisciplinary environment of this research training group.
