Postdoctoral Position in Computational Neuroscience at University of Bern, Switzerland
Postdoctoral position in Computational Neuroscience at Department of Physiology, University of Bern, Switzerland
Study Subject(s): Computational Neuroscience
Course Level: Postdoctoral
Scholarship Provider: University of Bern, Switzerland
Scholarship can be taken at: Switzerland
Ideal candidates have a theoretical PhD related to Computational Neuroscience, in Theoretical Physics, Mathematics or Engineering with a strong background in Mathematics.
The computational neuroscience group at the Department of Physiology studies mathematical models of neurons and synapses in the context of cortical information processing and learning. We are particularly interested in biologically plausible models for learning and memory which explain animal and human behaviour. Read the rest of this entry »

Postdoctoral Position in Ecology at Jonathan Levine at ETH Zurich, Switzerland
ETH Zurich at Research group of Jonathan Levine offers Postdoctoral Position in the field of Ecology in Switzerland
Study Subject(s): Ecology
Course Level: Postdoctoral
Scholarship Provider: Jonathan Levine at ETH Zurich
Scholarship can be taken at: Switzerland
Eligibility:
Work-related interactions will be in English.
-The research focus is flexible and those with plant, non-plant, or theoretical backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
Research in the Levine group focuses on two general problems: (1) the maintenance of species diversity in communities and (2) the determinants of the success and impacts of biological invasions. Current coexistence projects explore how individual variation influences the outcome of competitive interactions, the effect of fluctuating climate on plant coexistence, and the role of plant pathogens in shaping community composition. Current invasions projects explore the Read the rest of this entry »
Visiting Fellows at Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Switzerland
Visiting Fellows at Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies for Short Term
Study Subject: Any
Employer: Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies
Level: PhD, Postdoctoral
The Institute hosts university professors, lecturers and researchers with independent funding keen to carry out research and take advantage of the resources and services the Institute has to offer (library, interaction with faculty members and students) as well as its unique location at the heart of international Geneva.

HIV & Drug Use Research Fellowship
- Description:
- With the support of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the International AIDS Society (IAS) has established a research fellowship programme focusing on HIV and drug use, with the goal of contributing to advances in the scientific understanding of drug use and HIV, while fostering international collaborative research on HIV and drug use.
The fellowship programme is awarded as a stipend of US$75,000 in two categories: to a junior scientist for 18-month post-doctoral training, or to a well-established HIV researcher for an eight-month-long professional development training at leading host institutes excelling in HIV-related drug use research.
In 2011, up to four fellowships will be awarded. The fellows and their mentors will be invited to attend the IAS Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention (IAS 2011), to be held in Rome, Italy, on 17-20 July 2011, where the awards ceremony will be held.
Eligibility
Postdoctoral training: Junior investigators with a doctoral degree (e.g., PhD, MD) obtained no more than six years before the time of application in the fields of behavioural and social sciences, biological sciences, chemistry, engineering, mathematics, medicine, physics or public health (other disciplines may also be considered) are eligible. Applicants must hold a doctorate degree or equivalent before the start of the fellowship, but not necessarily when applying. Read the rest of this entry »
One Postdoctoral and one PhD Position in Over-Expression, Biochemistry and Structure of Membrane Transport Proteins, Switzerland
Our vision is to assess the structure, supramolecular organization and dynamics of membrane transport proteins by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray crystallography (XRC). To this end, we clone, over-express, purify and crystallize transport proteins in 2- (2D) and 3-dimensions (3D). 2D crystals are analyzed by TEM/electron crystallography and AFM, while 3D crystals by XRC. Tasks of the successful candidates will involve cloning, over-expression and purification of pro- and eukaryotic membrane transport proteins for functional and structural studies. Our work is part of the National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) TransCure – From transport physiology to identification of therapeutic targets.
Postdoctoral Position, Laboratory for Prenatal Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University Hospital of Bern, Switzerland

The aim: To study the role of transport proteins in the placenta in preeclampsia, diabetes and other gestation-associated disorders.
Requirements:
The successful candidate should hold a PhD in biochemistry, biology, pharmacy or medicine (MD PhD). Solid knowledge in molecular and cellular biology will be required for this project. The postdoctoral position will be available from January 2011. Salary according to the SNF (Swiss National Science Foundation) guidelines.
