PhD Fellowship, Molecular biology of ectomycorrhizal symbiosis, JSMC, Germany
JSMC invites applications for a
PhD Fellowship (Ref.No. JSMC?40/2009) on the topic
Molecular biology of ectomycorrhizal symbiosis
The formation of ectomycorrhiza in symbioses between trees and fungi of the genus Tricholoma involves signal transfer between both partners. Genes induced upon mycorrhization are thus useful markers to detect signaling components. The aim of the project is to analyze the up?regulated genes coding for an APS kinase and to identify physiological states with respect to nutrient transfer in symbiosis. Investigations will be carried out at the Institute of Microbiology, Microbial Phytopathology, Friedrich Schiller University Jena.
We expect:
- a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Natural or Life Sciences (e.g., Biology, Biochemistry, etc.).
Candidates about to earn their degree are welcome to apply.
- high motivation and interest to join one of the interdisciplinary research areas of JSMC
- creativity and interest to shape your own thesis project
- an integrative and cooperative personality
- very good communication skills in English (instruction language at JSMC)
We offer:
- a highly communicative atmosphere within a scientific network providing top?level research
conditions
- a PhD stipend paid for 3 years according to the rules of the DFG (German Research Foundation) as
well as generous research funding
- a comprehensive mentoring program with efficient supervision by a team of supervisors
- courses in novel technologies and soft skills
- Jena – the German City of Science 2008: a young and lively city with dynamic business activities,
successful scientific centres of innovation and a vibrant cultural scene around the famous Friedrich
Schiller University
Friedrich Schiller University Jena is an equal opportunity employer.

My name is Addisu Assefa from Ethiopia. I hold M. Sc degree from Addis Ababa University. I am now a lecturer of Microbiology at Madawalabu University, Ethiopia. I know ectomycorrhizal fungi as they are associated with lots of plants and they aid in phosphorous solublisation and absorption, biocontrol agents of disease, heavy metal resistance, and enabling plant to grow in marginalized habitats etc. I have a great desire to search for new inputs as related to these fungi if I will be selected in your scholar ship. I will I apply formally through indicated website. I lookforward to hearing from you.
Thanks
