The Jena School for Microbial Communication (JSMC) is funded by the German Excellence Initiative. It conceptionally combines different research areas (microbial communities, interactions with plant, animal and human hosts and environmental interactions) to a comprehensive picture of microbial communication (www.jsmc.uni-jena.de). JSMC is an ambitious Graduate School prospectively comprising 150 PhD students who will be educated in a structured, interdisciplinary training program based on top-level fundamental research. Four faculties of the Friedrich Schiller University Jena, six non-university research institutions as
well as twelve partner companies are participating in this cutting edge research and training program which includes an innovative PhD program, career development and intensive sociocultural care. Three embedded existing Research Training Groups as well as twelve other cooperative research projects are engaged to incorporate novel research areas to achieve a complete view of microbial communication. We invite applications for 9 PhD Fellowships
The positions are immediately available.
For the first step of the application procedure please acquaint yourself with the scientific projects
offered on our website www.jsmc.uni-jena.de and thoroughly fill in the “Statement of Interest” form downloadable from this site. The application procedure is handled online exclusively via the JSMC website. Applications can only be considered upon receipt of the completed “Statement of Interest” form submitted to JSMC@uni-jena.de .
Deadline for submission of the “Statement of Interest”: October 6th, 2008.
Successful applicants will be invited to attend a recruitment meeting in December 2008.

Phd position in University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland
PhD position in SYSTEMS BIOLOGY - mathematical modeling of cellular signaling pathways
Location : University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland
Deadline for applications : August 8, 2008.
Description :
BACKGROUND: PhD position in systems biology, mathematical modeling of cellular signaling pathways. Structured PhD Programme in Bioinformatics and Computational Medicine University College Dublin, Ireland. Applications are invited for a PhD studentship, starting in October 2008 or later within the Bioinformatics and Computational Medicine Structured PhD Programme (http://bioinformatics.ucd.ie/PhD) at University College Dublin, to work on a research project on spatial and temporal dynamics of cell signaling pathways. RESPONSIBILITIES: The successful candidate will undertake a four-year research project on spatial and temporal dynamics of cell signaling under the supervision of B.N. Kholodenko, Z. Neufeld and E.A. Cox. The project is aimed at understanding how biochemical signaling networks can transmit precise spatial information in a dynamic and robust manner to control the execution of spatially resolved cellular processes. The models developed will be based on nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations representing GTPase and kinase/phosphatase signaling cascades which control pivotal cellular processes. Computational models will involve primarily ordinary and partial differential equations, although stochastic methods and probabilistic approaches may also be used. Applicants should have a genuine interest in modeling of biological processes and experience with nonlinear dynamics and numerical calculations. Although the work will mostly involve theoretical/computational modeling, there will be some participation in experimental work. (see [link] for further details of the project) REQUIREMENTS: Applicants should hold or expect to obtain a degree in a numerate discipline, particularly with experience of mathematical and computational modeling (e.g. mathematics, computational science, computational biology, physics, chemical or bio-engineering or related areas). HOW TO APPLY: For further enquiries please contact: B.N. Kholodenko (Boris.Kholodenko@jefferson.edu )or Z. Neufeld (zoltan.neufeld@ucd.ie ). Applicants should send a CV and names and addresses of two referees to bioinfo@ucd.ie before the closing date of 8 August 2008.

Phd position in Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland
PhD positions available in Prof. Ken Wolfe's research group in the Smurfit Institute of Genetics, Trinity College Dublin. The projects will involve using bioinformatics and comparative genomics methods to study genome evolution, particularly in yeast and other fungal species. Research interests in the lab include (i) the evolutionary origins of new genes, and (ii) the development of new bioinformatics methods to improve the detection of remote sequence homologs by using synteny data. These positions form part of research programme supported by Science Foundation Ireland. For further information about the lab, see http://wolfe.gen.tcd.ie Competitive salaries will be available for outstanding applicants. Previous experience in molecular evolution, bioinformatics, and/or computer programming experience in C / Perl / SQL is essential for postdoctoral applicants. Candidates should submit a cover letter and curriculum vitae, including the names of two referees, by mail or e-mail to: Prof. Kenneth H. Wolfe, Smurfit Institute of Genetics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland (e-mail khwolfe@tcd.ie ). Closing date 31 August 2008.
