2 PhD-Positions in the Field of Physics/Biotechnology at University of Heidelberg, Germany

Application Deadline: 01/02/2010



The ViroQuant-CellNetworks RNAi Screening Facility is looking for motivated students who are interested in highly interdisciplinar research programs. We currently offer 2 PhD-Positions in the field of Physics / Biotechnology / Biology at the BioQuant-Centre for the

"Development of an automated high-throughput / high-content microscopy platform"

Background: To understand complex biological systems quantitatively, newest technologies ranging from biology, physics and informatics to mathematics are nowadays applied within large research and development programs. Within the framework of the BMBF research initiative SysTec "New Methods in Systems Biology" as well as the Landesstiftung Baden-Württemberg Initiative "New Methods in Live Sciences" we offer two PhD positions for physicists, computer scientists, biotechnologists and biologists.

Goal: The PhD positions comprise the development of basic elements of a high-throughput / high-content microscopy platform for automated genome wide screens up to newest highest resolution procedures. Essential for this is a highly perfected automated connection between different imaging methods (correlative microscopy) to obtain a maximal information benefit from genome wide biological experiments. This will be realised in close interdisciplinary collaborations with expert groups from the fields of molecular biology, image processing and microscopy as well as industrial partners.

Requirements: Candidates should offer strong interest in highly interdisciplinary orientated research projects. Furthermore, interest in microscopy and programming is of highest priority.
