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.

For more information see:
