PhD Fellowships in Ecological Interactions at Surfaces and Interfaces at IMPRS Deadline June 29 2012

Scholarships at Germany PhD Fellowships in Ecological Interactions at Surfaces and Interfaces at IMPRS, International Max Planck Research School in the field of bioinformatics, analytical chemistry, entomology, neurobiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, plant physiology and genetics 2012. Many key ecological interactions between plants, herbivores, bacteria and fungi occur at different surfaces. These form the boundaries between organisms and their aerial, aquatic, or subterranean environments, as well as the interfaces of organisms interacting with each other. The release or detection of odors and other chemical signals occurs at surfaces; surface biofilms made by bacteria and diatoms create unique environmental niches. Yet very little information is available on compounds and proteins playing a role in the local communication processes at these interfaces.

Study Subject(s):Ecological interactions at surfaces and interfaces
Level:PhD
Provider: International Max Planck Research School
Can be taken at: Germany
No Open for International Students
How to Apply: Online
Application Deadline: June 29, 2012

Eligibility:

Enthusiastic PhD students with strong interests in the above-described central topic. Applicants should have a firm background in one of the following fields: bioinformatics, analytical chemistry, entomology, neurobiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, plant physiology and genetics. All our projects are highly integrative and require willingness to closely collaborate with researchers of different backgrounds.
