Biomolecular Machines Laboratory, Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modeling, University of Warsaw is looking for enthusiastic researchers to work on a project: “Antisense peptide nucleic acids as inhibitors of bacterial translation”
The long-term goal of this project is to apply both computational and experimental techniques to design specific nucleic acid mimics that will target the ribosomal RNA and inhibit bacterial translation. The research is funded as a TEAM project within the Innovative Economy Operational Programme (project period: November 2009 — October 2013). For more information see http://bionano.icm.edu.pl.
We are looking for:
PhD student:
-background in (bio)physics, (bio)chemistry, mathematics or related discipline,
-candidates must be already in an official PhD program or enter a PhD program starting October 1, 2011,
-net monthly fellowship 3000 PLN (not subject to income tax) + benefits, awarded from the Team project till October 2013 (possible future funding extension after this date from other funds),
-Expected starting date is October 1, 2011.
MSc student:
-three years of college completed by September 2011,
-background in physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science or related discipline
-net monthly fellowship 1000 PLN (not subject to income tax), position available for up to two years,
-Expected starting date is September 1, 2011.
You will join a group of scientists whose research bridges the fields of physics, mathematics and life sciences. Collaborative opportunities exist with research groups at University of California, San Diego, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, NEST, Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa and Masaryk University in Brno.
To apply:
-If you are interested in joining the group please send your CV and a cover letter (both in English) indicating the position you are applying for (preferred format is PDF) to Joanna Trylska: joanna[ at ]icm.edu.pl.
-Applications (in English) should contain if applicable, research experience, participation in conferences, list of publications, cumulative average grade, and in case of PhD students the name of one scientist willing to issue the recommendation letter.
-Selected canditates will be asked to provide a grade transcript, one reference letter for PhD student position and a copy of university degree. Top candidates will be invited for an interview (or a conference-call) and asked to present documents confirming their grades and degrees. Good command of English is a must.
-Applications will be accepted until May 29th, 2011.
