Applications are invited for the position of a
Postdoc (BAT-O IIa)
in our Research Group “Immunology/Neuroinflammation” at the Leibniz Institute
for Age Research – Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena.
The Rel/NF-κB transcription factors are well known for their anti-apoptotic
action. However, in a mouse model of stroke we could show that inhibition of
classical NF-κB profoundly reduced infarct size. With the help of genetically
altered mouse models we plan to analyze the role of the recently described alternative
NF-κB signaling pathway in neurodegeneration and neuroprotection.
The project will be carried out in close collaboration with the labs of Markus
Schwaninger (Department of Neurology, Heidelberg) and Stefan Isenmann
(Department of Neurology, Jena).
We are looking for highly motivated individuals with a solid background in
neurobiology and molecular biology. For further information please contact:
fweih@fli-leibniz.de.
Please send your application including a CV, description of experience, and the
names of two references to:
Prof. Dr. Falk Weih, Leibniz Institute for Age Research

The Graduiertenkolleg 843
‘Mechanisms of Neuronal
Signaltransduction - from Protein to
Network’ at the University of Freiburg
offers:
14 Positions for PhD Students
We invite graduate students from the fields of biology, chemistry, biochemistry,
physics, medicine as well as molecular medicine to send in their applications.

focuses on the areas:
Molecular Neurobiology (structure and function of membrane proteins and
their associated multi-protein complexes)
Cellular Neurobiology (intercellular signaling, synaptic transmission and
integration)
Developmental Neurobiology (formation of networks) and
Clinical-Systemic Neurobiology (systemic network function, theoretical network
simulation, neuroprothetics)
Outlines of project proposals and information on the scientific background of
the participating institutes as well as on the study program of the GRK 843 are
available via: http://www.grako-fr.uni-freiburg.de
To apply, please send in an application letter (indicate which project you are
applying for and why), a full CV, copies of university diplomas, a brief summary
of your thesis and previous studies and 2 letters of reference to:
The Institute of Physiology II, attn.: Prof. Dr. B. Fakler,
Hermann-Herder-Str. 7, D-79104 Freiburg, Germany.

Martin Luther University
Halle-Wittenberg and
Leibniz Institute of
Plant Biochemistry Halle
Registration number 6/2006
Independent junior research group
leader position
The University of Halle and the Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry will
establish a third independent junior research group as part of the Federal
State of Sachsen-Anhalt Excellence Initiative “Structures and mechanisms
of biological information processing”. The group is to work closely with one
or more of the local Collaborative Research Centres SFB 610 “Protein states
with cell biological and medical relevance”, SFB 648 “Molecular mechanisms
of information processing in plants” and SFB 604 “Multifunctional
signaling proteins: oligomeric protein complexes as mediators of cellular
regulatory processes”, and the Graduate College GRK1026 “Conformational
transitions in macromolecular interactions”.
Applications are invited for the following junior group leader position:
Plant protein complexes - structure, function and evolution
The successful candidate should have a research focus in one of the following
areas :
– Protein complexes in plant signal transduction and regulation
– Protein complexes in plant microbe interactions
– Plant membrane protein complexes
The group will be located at the Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry
(Director Dierk Scheel) on the Weinberg Campus of the University of Halle.
The Institute offers
– essential infrastructure from the existing programs in natural product
biotechnology (Claus Wasternack), bioorganic chemistry (Ludger Wessjohann),
stress and developmental biology (Dierk Scheel), and secondary
metabolism (Dieter Strack)
– state of the art technology including platforms for proteomics, metabolic
profiling and in vivo imaging of protein-protein interactions
– an energetic working environment with a multidisciplinary approach to
natural product, molecular interaction, plant microbe interaction and
gene function analyses.
Appointments will be made at the level of BAT-O Ia for a period of five years.
Laboratory space, start up funds and consumables as well as additional
salaries for one postdoc, PhD students and a laboratory technician will be
made available.
Applicants with a proven publication record in high quality journals should
submit their CV and publication list stating registration number 6/2006,
together with reprints of the three most important publications, a project
sketch of not more than three pages, and the names of three academic
referees to
Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry
Managing Director, Prof. Dierk Scheel
Weinberg 3, D-06120 Halle (Saale), Germany
The University of Halle and the Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry are
affirmative actions employers. Female Scientists are specifically encouraged
to apply for this position. Suitably qualified disabled candidates will
be treated preferentially.
