PhD position at MPI for Developmental Biology

[Detlef Weigel]

A PhD position candidate is available immediately as part of SY-STEM, 
a new Marie-Curie Research and Training Network (RTN) that uses 
systems biology approaches to analyze stem cell function in 
Arabidopsis.  This post is for a project in the lab of Detlef Weigel 
in the Department of Molecular Biology at the Max Planck Institute 
for Developmental Biology in Tuebingen, Germany.  The project will 
focus on the role of microRNAs and transcription factors in stem cell 
biology.  Information on the department can be found at 
http://weigelworld.org.

Candidates must be citizens of an EU Member State (other than 
Germany) or of an EU Candidate State.  The successful candidate needs 
to be strongly motivated and have demonstrated expertise in molecular 
genetics and genomics.  Computational skills are a plus, as this 
project strives to integrate many large-scale data sets. 

Applications including a curriculum vitae and grades of university 
exams should be sent as single PDF files to Ms. Huelya Wicher at 
wicher at tuebingen.mpg.de, with the subject line "SY-STEM PhD 
position".  Please have at least two letters of reference from senior 
scientists familiar with your abilities sent on your behalf to the 
same email address.
