PhD Fellowship, Monitoring the Signalling State of Individual Bacteria by means of Optical Spectroscopic Technologies, JSMC, Germany
JSMC invites applications for a
PhD Fellowship (Ref.No. JSMC?32/2009) on the topic
Monitoring the Signalling State of Individual Bacteria by means of
Optical Spectroscopic Technologies
The focus of this research project is to implement a novel approach to investigate the signalling state and the
response of bacteria to external stress factors using optical spectroscopic technologies. The use of a segmented?flow
lab?on?a?chip device in combination with surface?enhanced Resonance Raman spectroscopy (SERRS) will enable the
study of the signalling state of bacteria as a response of environmentally induced stress.
We expect:
- a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Natural or Life Sciences (e.g., Biology, Physics, Chemistry,
Medical Sciences, etc.). Candidates about to earn their degree are welcome to apply.
- hands?on?experiences with lasers and / or optical spectroscopic techniques and / or preparation of
plasmonic nanoparticles are welcome.
- 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

I am a 21yrs old, from Ethiopia. I got my bachelor of degree in clinical laboratory science from Addisababa university at the mid of 2008. At the moment I am working at Jijiga University as an instructor. I am here to apply for the free msc degree scholarships in related fields in your institution which I can’t even imagine to afford by myself. Thank you.
i did UG & PG In MICROBIOLOGY recently, now i am working as a Project Assistant in CSMCRI (csir lab) . in future i want to do Ph.D pleaseguide me
