Karlsruhe Institut of Technology PhD Positions in Analysis and Numerical Math. 2 years Postdoc-position and 3 years PhD-positions in Analysis and Numerical Mathematics (Maxwell`s equation, Schroedinger equation, Inverse Problems).
The Research Training Group 1294 of the German Research Foundation (DFG)
"Analysis, Simulation and Design of Nanotechnological Processes" is organized by scientists of the department of mathematics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in cooperation with scientists of the Departments of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology and Physics.
The aim of this Research Training Group is the analysis, the simulation and the design of nanotechnological processes from a mathematical point of view. These topics will be treated as a complement and in interdisciplinary cooperation with the center for functional nanostructures (CFN) in Karlsruhe. Every project will concentrate on a mathematical aspect of a problem in nanotechnology in cooperation with a scientist in physics or engineering. The projects in the first period are mainly motivated by problems in nonlinear optics. In particular, photonic crystals will be investigated. In the analysis and the simulation of the partial differential equations which describe nanostructures several mathematical difficulties arise, e. g., the treatment of nonlinearities, simultaneous occurence of continuous and discrete spectrum, problems with multiple scales, and the ill-posedness of these problems.

Universität Bremen Post Doc in Ocean in the Earth System at Germany
Deadline for applications is June 10, 2008. Email: Achim Kopf akopf@uni-bremen.de We would be very grateful, if you could submit your application documents as copies (no folders), we can not send your documents back because of cost reasons; after the application process the documents will be destroyed. The DFG Research Center/Excellence Cluster "The Ocean in the Earth System" (MARUM) at the University of Bremen, Germany, has established a competitive and highly selective program for MARUM Fellowship awards. Up to two fellowships will be awarded in this round in the general areas of marine geology, paleoceanography, marine biogeochemistry, marine geophysics and marine geotechnology. We encourage applications from enthusiastic and dynamic individuals with a demonstrated record in interdisciplinary marine research in fields that include, but are not limited to sedimentation and physical transport processes in coastal areas, shelf seas, and along ocean margins, reconstructing and modeling climate change, and biogeochemical cycles in marine environments.
Specific interests of MARUM are directed toward the understanding of:
1. Stability of ocean margins (geoengineering, coastal protection, geohazards, effects of human activities), 2. Seafloor processes such as gas and fluid seepage as well as sediment transport at continental margins and in coastal areas, 3. Ocean-climate and ocean-land interactions, 4. Factors governing marine productivity, 5. Life in extreme environments including the deep marine subsurface, and 6. Microbe-mineral interactions (see www.marum.de for further information).
The successful candidate should have received a PhD within the last five years in geosciences or a related field. Fellowships are initially limited to a term of two years and will start in fall or winter 2008. After a successful evaluation a prolongation by one year is possible. Salary and benefits are linked to the German employee scale 13 TVL. International candidates are highly encouraged to apply.
Applications should include a CV, a list of publications, a research proposal describing research interests, contact information for 3 referees and completed application form (available from www.marum.de/Jobs.html).
MARUM Fellows are expected to develop their own research program within the scientific framework provided by MARUM; proposals targeting research between boundaries of individual research groups at MARUM are encouraged. MARUM Fellows will be integrated in a stimulating and supportive environment that provides ideal conditions for scientific growth.
As the University of Bremen intends to increase the proportion of female employees in science, women are particularly encouraged to apply.
In case of equal personal aptitudes and qualification priority will be given to disabled persons.
Applications and inquiries should be directed to Achim Kopf electronically (akopf@uni-bremen.de) under the reference number A 66/08. http://www.stellen.uni-bremen.de/a66-08.php3
International PhD Program Molecular Cell Biology 2007-2008 Max-Delbrück Centre at Germany
Starting Date : Students should be able to start in September/October 2007
The International PhD Programme “Molecular Cell Biology” has been established in 2003, and is a joint activity of the Max-Delbrück Centre (MDC) for Molecular Medicine and the Humboldt University (HU) Berlin. Every year 10-12 students from around the world are being selected on a competitive basis to join the Programme.
The Programme provides exceptional research opportunities and in-depth interdisciplinary training in Molecular Cell Biology, with strong emphasis on the fundamental molecular biology and molecular cell biology as a foundation of modern medicine. It is aimed at university graduates (with Diploma or Masters degree), who wish to obtain a PhD in the fields of Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Molecular Genetics, Molecular Cardiovascular Research, Developmental Biology and Neurobiology. There are 41 Research Groups you could select from and it is up to you to choose that "big" question you wish to find an answer for during your PhD research. And because we have critical mass of the scientific expertise at the MDC and Berlin-Buch Campus, you would never be far away from a world expert, be it in cancer signalling pathways or genomics, systems biology or macromolecular structure, gene therapy or neuronal stem cells.
Language The working language of the Programme is English.
Starting Date Students should be able to start in September/October 2007
Funding Successful PhD candidates are awarded a 3-year Scholarship from the MDC or HU, with a possibility of extension decided on a case-by-case basis. The salary level for the graduate students employed as research assistants is in accordance with the standard tariff for public service sector and is about 1400 EUR gross, which translates to between 900 - 1100 EUR net. MDC also provides travel grants to its PhD students, encouraging them to attend international scientific meetings to present their findings.
PhD Degree As a rule, our PhD students are enrolled at the Humboldt University of Berlin or the Free University of Berlin to obtain their degree - Doctor rerum naturalium (Dr. rer. nat.), translated as Doctor of Natural Sciences. This is a German equivalent of the PhD degree and is internationally recognised and accepted as such. Students could also opt for a university of their home country to get their PhD degree from.
Wider PhD students community at the MDC The MDC`s PhD student community is not limited to the International PhD Programme only, - there are about 150 of graduates working on their PhDs at any point in time (do check our students` web site). Every year our PhD students organise a PhD Retreat (please, see the photo from the last one), where they present their results, meet distinguished invited speakers of their own choice, exchange ideas and socialise. But you do not have to wait for a year to get out of the lab, - in their free time our graduates also organise regular outings, or, as it is called here `Stammtisch`.
