Job Description:
We are looking for two motivated PhD candidates to perform PhD’s related to 2 ESA (European Space Agency) research projects on the growth of yeast and bone cells in microgravity. Position 1: Systems biology view on the effect of microgravity on the physiology of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. p/> Position 2: Computerised image analysis for quantitative fluorescence microscopy on yeast and bone cells. Profile: You have experience and/or a passion for research at the cutting edge of: Position 1: yeast microbiology, systems biology (transcriptomics, proteomics, genomics), biochemical engineering, microfluidics and bionanotechnology (Atomic Force Microscopy) Position 2: computer science and advanced applied mathematics, machine learning and image analysis, bioinformatics (network biology, systems biology), and fluorescence microscopy. You are very well motivated to obtain a PhD degree and have recently obtained preferably with very good study results a Master in Bio-engineering Sciences, in Chemistry, in Engineering (Chemistry), in Biotechnology, in Biology, in (Bio)Physics, or Computer Science. You are eligible for an FWO PhD fellowship or FWO 'Strategic basic research SB' PhD fellowship (http://www.fwo.be/en/fellowships-funding/phd-fellowships/). We offer: A full-time contract of limited duration (until 31/12/2017), (extension is possible), in an international stimulating research environment. Application: Mail your CV, motivation letter, grade list, and contact data of 2 reference persons
