Fully funded PhD position to work on centrosome dynamics

LMU Faculty of Biology

Field：Cancer Research, Molecular Biology, Genetics,

APPLICATION DEADLINE: 30 May, 2024

About the Project

We are looking for a highly motivated student with a strong background in molecular and cell biology, to join our team. We offer a fully funded PhD position, to work on centrosome dynamics and homeostasis of centrosome-associated proteins.

The Mikeladze-Dvali group aims to delineate mechanisms regulating centrosome dynamics within the framework of embryogenesis and development. Centrosomes are the main microtubule organizing centers of animal cells and represent signaling hubs, harboring mitotic kinases and cell cycle regulators. Centrosomes undergo dynamic changes in their size, number and material properties during the cell cycle. Precise regulation of centrosome dynamics is key for maintaining genome stability and sustaining cell proliferation. Deregulation of centrosomes is linked to diseases ranging from cancer to microcephaly and ciliopathies. The project will use the nematode C. elegans as a model system to study the regulation of centrosomal proteins during embryogenesis and will employ a broad spectrum of methods in molecular biology, genetics, quantitative live-cell imaging and biochemistry.

We offer

• A vibrant and international research environment, with English as our working language
• Access to our state-of-the-art imaging facilities
• Opportunity to attend international conferences and participate in collaborations
• Opportunity to apply to the Graduate School Life Science Munich (LSM), which offers training in many different career development courses

Qualification profile

We expect the candidate to have a Master’s degree in biology or related subjects and to bring high motivation, creativity, perseverance, enthusiasm to work in a team, basic coding skills (Phyton or R) and English communication skills. Previous experience with C. elegans, imaging, image analysis or biochemistry would be an asset but is not a prerequisite.

Doctoral student in robotics for fire risk assessment in rural environments

KTH Royal Institute of Technology, School of Industrial Engineering and Management

APPLICATION DEADLINE: 30. June, 2024

About the Project

Project description

Third-cycle subject:Machine Design

The division of Mechatronics, KTH, announces a PhD position in robotics for fire risk estimation in rural environments. The department consists of around forty employees organized in several research groups working on topics connected to robotics, such as design, reliability and autonomy. We frequently work with research-related companies, and several examples of companies that have spun off from our research exists today.

One of our research groups works closely with the forest industry with a focus on robotics, sensor systems and artificial intelligence. In the spring of 2024, we will start a project funded by MSB with a focus on how autonomous and remote-controlled forest machines can improve the coarse-grained estimation of the risk of ignition of forest and grass fires that exist today. Those interested in applying should have an interdisciplinary background in robotics or mechatronics, and a keen interest in immersing themselves in a critical societal area.

Supervision:Associate Professor Fredrik Asplund is proposed to supervise the doctoral student. Decisions are made on admission.

What we offer

• The possibility to study in a dynamic and international research environment in collaboration with industries and prominent universities from all over the world.Read more
• A workplacewith many employee benefitsand monthly salary according toKTH’s Doctoral student salary agreement.
• A postgraduate education at an institution that is active and supportive in matters pertaining to working conditions, gender equality and diversity as well as study environment.
• Work and study in Stockholm, close to nature and the water.
• Help torelocate and be settled in Sweden and at KTH.

Admission requirements

To be admitted to postgraduate education (Chapter 7, 39 § Swedish Higher Education Ordinance), the applicant must have basic eligibility in accordance with either of the following:

• passed a second cycle degree (for example a master's degree), or
• completed course requirements of at least 240 higher education credits, of which at least 60 second-cycle higher education credits, or
• acquired, in some other way within or outside the country, substantially equivalent knowledge

For this PhD position, experience, and in particular research-related experience, from relevant industries and domains, such as employment at robotics or sensor system manufacturers, experience from forestry and agricultural industry, etc., is advantageous.

It is also advantageous to have in-depth knowledge in mechanics, electronics, computer science and control theory, specifically also interdisciplinary combinations of these subjects, from e.g., courses at the master's level.

Selection

In order to succeed as a doctoral student at KTH you need to be goal oriented and persevering in your work. During the selection process, candidates will be assessed upon their ability to:

• independently pursue his or her work
• collaborate with others,
• have a professional approach and
• analyse and work with complex issues.

After the qualification requirements, great emphasis will be placed on personal competency.
