2 doctoral students, graduate school emerging infectious diseases (EIDIS) |
The zoonotic transmission of novel pathogens into the human population is a central challenge of future research in infectious diseases. Meeting this challenge requires training of promising young scientists for cutting edge research in this rapidly evolving field. The graduate school emerging infectious diseases (EIDIS), a program of the Göttingen Graduate School of Neurosciences, Biophysics and Molecular Biosciences (GGNB), seeks to provide doctoral students with an excellent education in novel infectious diseases and is now open for applications.
The EIDIS partners German Primate Center, located in Göttingen, Germany, and Institute of Virology, Philipps-University Marburg, located in Marburg, Germany, investigate emerging infections at the molecular, cellular and organismic level, with a strong focus on highly pathogenic viruses. The EIDIS researchers have access to state of the art facilities, including a biosafety level 4 laboratory, and will provide students with a comprehensive training in all aspects of emerging infectious diseases research.
EIDIS is offering positions for 2 doctoral students
from the biosciences field. Positions can be filled immediately but no later than October 2012. Students will be trained at the German Primate Center in Göttingen. The focus of the research will be on influenza virus interactions with host cells. One project aims to identify host cell proteases essential for influenza virus activation and to devise specific inhibitors. A second project seeks to understand how IFITM proteins and other interferon-induced host cell factors inhibit influenza virus infection. Comprehensive training of EIDIS students will be ensured by shared EIDIS seminar and lecture series, retreats, soft skill courses and training visits to collaborating national and international laboratories.
Applicants should hold a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in the biosciences field. Applications should include curriculum vitae, contact address and contact information for three references, and should be sent to German Primate Center GmbH, Leibniz Institute for Primate Research, Personnel Office, Kellnerweg 4, 37077 Göttingen. Electronic applications can be mailed to bewerbung@dpz.eu.
For questions regarding EIDIS, please contact Prof. Stefan Pöhlmann, German Primate Center, Kellnerweg 4, 37077 Göttingen, E-mail: s.poehlmann@dpz.eu.
