Scholarship for PhD Applicants in Molecular Genetics, Lund University, Sweden
Study Subject: Molecular Genetics
Employer: Lund University
Level: PhD
EU Marie Curie training network Cornucopia will train a new generation of young scientists focusing on less studied yeasts with interesting traits, which could be applied in the food and health sectors. The yeast kingdom includes more than 1.500 other species that display a variety of unusual characteristics but have so far been only poorly studied. These yeasts represent a large untapped potential to develop novel food and health related processes and products. You will investigate genes behind carbon metabolism, aromas and/or probiotic properties in nonconventional yeasts, using molecular biology, in vitro evolution, genomic and post-genomic, and genetic tools. You will “domesticate” new isolates and develop mutant strains which can be easily handled in the lab and even used for applied purposes. In addition to pursuing postgraduate studies, the doctoral student may also perform other duties, including research, teaching and administration, according to the specific university and department regulations.

Fellowship for Postdoctoral Applicants at BRIC,University of Copenhagen, Denmark
Study Subject: MicroRNA Research
Employer: University of Copenhagen
Level: Postdoctoral
Scholarship Description:A European Union funded postdoctoral position is available in the group of Associate Professor Roger Pocock at BRIC, University of Copenhagen. Research in the group is focused neuronal development and microRNA-mediated stress responses.
We are interested in understanding how animals control stress responses. To this end, we have identified specific microRNAs in C. elegans that are required under stress. The postdoctoral position will involve characterization of the stress-responsive roles of these microRNAs at the molecular and cellular level.
