transporters. Molecular, biochemical and physiological
methods will be used to investigate the physiological role
of peptide transporters in planta.
We are looking for a motivated student interested in joining
our research team. The position requires a diploma or
M.Sc. degree in biology, biochemistry or equivalent and
qualifications in plant molecular biology, plant physiology,
cell biology or biochemistry.
Salary will be according to the Swiss National Science Foundation and is limited
to 36 months. Starting 1 th December 2009 or at earliest convenience. Applications
should include a curriculum vitae, description of research interests and
experience and name and address of two references.

Service Stellenmarkt
The University Hospital of Cologne ranks among the leading
university hospitals in Germany. Our 6,800 employees,
working in more than 59 highly efficient clinics, polyclinics
and institutes offer optimum inpatient and outpatient care
as well as professional vocational training and continuing
education programmes. With some 1,300 beds, we are one
of the largest hospitals in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Our international
reputation is based on our outstanding record as a provider of top-flight medical
care and as a leading academic institution in the fields of medical research
and teaching.
The Institute of Neurophysiology at the Uniklinik Köln is seeking applications for a
PhD student (TV-L E13, 50%)
to be employed under a limited-time contract for 2 years with the possibility
of extension.
Our group is a part of the Institute of Neurophysiology (Director: Prof. Dr. Jürgen
Hescheler) located at the University of Cologne (Germany). The Institute is part of
the Medical Faculty and is traditionally involved in stem cell research. The major
focus of the research at the Institute is on differentiation of embryonic stem
(ES) and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells into cardiac, neuronal, haemangioblastic
and others organotypic cells and on their functional characterization.
Our group is engaged in the exploration of mechanisms involve in mouse
and human ES and iPS cell-derived cardiomyocytes differentiation process
and to characterize (structure and function) the resulting cardiomyocytes
by using several techniques. Several well established ES and iPS cell lines
and differentiation protocols are available. Recently, it has been shown that
mechano- and electro-stimulation of stem cell in culture has strong effect on
cardiac precommitment.
Your responsibilities will include:
The successful candidate will be responsible for establishing a chronic stimulation
of different cell types in culture and to study the stimulation effect of ES
and iPS cell during the differentiation process.
The candidate will join a multidisciplinary team of scientists and will gain experience
in a broad range of techniques including electrophysiology, calcium
imaging, immunohistochemistry, PCR and microarray.
Minimum qualifications:
We are seeking a highly motivated, independent thinking, team- and hardworking
candidate with a solid understanding and practical experience in
cellular biology and physiology.
The candidate must hold a MSc degree or equivalent and must be fluent in English.
The knowledge in the field of stem cells, electrophysiology is desirable.
Your salary will be based on (TV-L E13 , 50%).
The Board of Directors of the University Hospital of Cologne places strong emphasis
on gender equality and seeks to increase the proportional representation
of women in this field. Thus applications from female scientists will be welcomed;
suitably qualified women will be given preferential consideration unless other
candidates clearly demonstrate superior qualifications.
We also welcome applications from disabled candidates, who will also be
given preferential consideration over other applicants with comparable qualifications.
The position is suitable for staffing with part-time employees.
Applications with Curriculum vitae including contact detail of references
and a motivation letter should be sent until 25.09.2009 to:
