Postdoctoral position
The Institute of Microbiology and Genetics, Dept. of Molecular
Microbiology and Genetics at the Georg-August-University of Goettingen
invites applications for a Postdoctoral position (salary class 13
TV-L) within the BMBF-project “ERA-Net PathoGenoMics: Transcriptional
networks controlling virulence in fungal pathogens” for at least three
years
Area of research: Molecular analysis of the growth of
Aspergillus fumigatus mutants in blood.
Prerequisite: Ph.D. in biology or biochemistry/molecular
biology with focus on genetic/biochemistry and/or cell biology.
Experience with filamentous fungi and bioinformatics will be of
advantage but not required.
The University aims to increase the number of female scientific staff
employed and expressly requests applications from qualified women. In
the framework of the legal requirements and in the case of equal
qualifications, women will be considered preferentially in all areas in
which they are under-represented.
Disabled persons will also be considered preferentially in the case of
equal aptitude.
Written applications should be sent to Prof. Dr. Gerhard Braus, Institut
für Mikrobiologie und Genetik, Abt. Molekulare Mikrobiologie und
Genetik, Grisebachstr. 8, D-37077 Göttingen. E-mail: gbraus@gwdg.de
until March 1st , 2009.
Please send only copies of your documents (no originals). We will not be
able to send back your application and all documents will be destroyed
after 3 months.
Scientific Curator
The Aspergillus Genome Database (http://www.aspgd.org/)
is a new collaborative project between Jennifer Wortman's group at the
University of Maryland School of Medicine and Gavin Sherlock's group in
the Department of Genetics at Stanford Medical School (which is also
responsible for the Candida Genome Database). AspGD has an open position
for a scientific curator, available immediately at Stanford University.
Ideally, the successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in molecular biology
or microbiology, with experience in Aspergillus or another fungal
system. More details about the position are available
online
All applications must be submitted through the Stanford jobs website.

A. FUMIGATUS KO CASSETTES AVAILABLE FREE
The PFGRC at JCVI has made a set of 70 knock out cassettes for
A.
fumigatus available. Starting in January, 2009 you will also be able to
order up to 12 custom A. fumigatus knock out cassettes of your
choice. See more info at:
http://pfgrc.jcvi.org/index.php/gateway_clones/available_knockouts.html
WISH YOU COULD COLLABORATE WITH J. CRAIG VENTER INSTITUTE (FORMERLY TIGR)?
The PFGRC at J Craig Venter Institute is calling for white paper proposals.
These are essentially mini-grants that allow collaboration between
individual researchers and JCVI on Gene Expression studies, Comparative
Genomics, Gene Knock Outs, Proteomics and Bioinformatics as well as
associated methodologies and technologies.
Pre-proposal deadline December 12, 2008
Final proposal deadline is January 19, 2009.
