Eight (8) PhD Positions in Computational Systems Biology, Humboldt University Berlin, Germany (2015)

Biology has developed into a quantitative, information-driven science. We are seeking doctoral students for the DFG-funded Research Training Group "Computational Systems Biology" (CSB) which focuses on the system-level understanding of biological data using computational methods. CSB is embedded in the thriving Berlin life-science environment and involves high-ranking research institutions such as Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Freie Universität Berlin, Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics and Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine Berlin-Buch.

We offer 8 PhD positions in the following areas:
- Reverse engineering of biological networks
- Understanding cellular variability
- Unravelling adaptation mechanisms in biological networks
- Understanding regulation mechanisms mediated by RNA molecules and their interactions

We are looking for highly-motivated students with a strong interest in systems biology and mathematical modelling. Successful applicants must hold the equivalent of a master's level degree in life sciences, mathematics, biophysics or computer sciences. The PhD positions are offered for 3 years. The salary is according to the German TV E13 scale (66%).
