The lower incidence of heart disease in pre-menopausal women is connected to the gene regulatory effects of estrogen receptors. Recent studies at the MCRI have identified genes that are temporally and differentially regulated by estrogen in vascular cells. We are seeking a post-doctoral associate to take a major role in developing a new, collaborative project aimed at uncovering the mechanisms of this regulation. For more information on the research group see: http://160.109.101.132/mcri/MCRILabs/MolecularCardiologyResearchCenter/. Highly motivated candidates with an enthusiastic interest in this question are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate should ideally have experience with standard molecular biology and biochemistry techniques, qRT-PCR, chromatin immunoprecipitation and either microarray analysis or ChIP-seq, and a familiarity with the field of transcriptional regulation in chromatin.

Beginning in Spring 2010 the Research School in Biology ?From embryo to old age: the cell biology and genetics of health and disease? will be offering a high-level Ph.D. programme for students with excellent qualifications. The participating research groups use microbial, plant and animal model systems to investigate cell biological and genetic mechanisms whose perturbation during the life cycle of an organism results in disease. The three-year programme starts with a six-month rotation and course period, followed by a PhD project in one of the participating groups. Seminars and training courses complement the research work. Comprehensive support is provided throughout the programme. The programme language is English. Accepted students will receive a laptop computer and 500 EUR to get started in Cologne. No tuition fees are charged. Six competitive three-year fellowships (initially 1000 EUR, then a minimum of 1300 EUR per month) are available.
