INTRODUCTION

The IMPRS ‘Primary Metabolism and Plant Growth’ is a doctoral programme in plant genomics and systems biology at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology and the University of Potsdam. Talented graduate students are accepted into the programme at regular intervals.

We are currently inviting applications for PhD fellowships to start summer/autumn 2011.

We seek highly motivated students who can tackle scientific problems in modern plant biology. Doctoral projects will focus on systems-oriented approaches using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Our research combines molecular phenotyping (‘omics’) technologies and cutting-edge analytical techniques with bioinformatics and modelling.

We offer excellent research facilities, interdisciplinary scientific training, and a comprehensive complementary training programme. Our working language is English.

Students holding or about to obtain a Master’s or equivalent degree in biology, biochemistry, chemistry, physics, informatics, mathematics, or related fields are encouraged to apply.
The IMPRS-PMPG is embedded in a vibrant research community with more than 100 doctoral students under the guidance of our faculty, their groups, and departments. The Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant
Physiology is one of the largest plant research centres in Europe. The Science Park Potsdam-Golm hosts three Max Planck Institutes, two Fraunhofer Institutes, the University of Potsdam, and a centre for start-up companies, providing an excellent infrastructure for modern cross-disciplinary training. The campus is located in close proximity to the many research and educational facilities in Berlin.

Apply Please apply via the online application on the IMPRS-PMPG website only.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 28 January 2011

Our group studies the properties of nanoscale systems using optical spectroscopy, in particular, Raman scattering. The focus of our research work is on carbon- based materials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene. We are looking for a PhD student to join our multinational and interdisciplinary team.

The future PhD project will be in the area of nanoscale physical science. The research focus will depend on the interest and expertise of the successful candidate; possible topics include single-molecule spectroscopy, electron-phonon coupling, and photoconductivity.

We are looking for a motivated researcher, who enjoys experimental work as much as independent thinking. Candidates must have a Master or Diplom in physics, chemistry, materials science or a related field. Preference will be given to applicants with expertise in experimental condensed matter physics, optical spectroscopy, and the physics or chemistry of nanostructures.

The PhD position lasts up to four years with a salary of about €1900/month (2/3 BAT IIa). The future holder of the position is expected to participate in the teaching of the Department of Physics (2.67 hours/week during term).

Please, send your application (cover letter including a statement of purpose in English or German, CV, copies of degrees) to Prof. Dr. S. Reich, Freie Universität Berlin, Fachbereich Physik, Arnimallee 14, 14195 Berlin).
Interviewing for the position will start immediately and continue until the position is filled. The Freie Universität Berlin is an equal opportunity affirmative action employer and specifically encourages applications by women.
