PhD Positions in Theoretical Biology-Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology
September 30, 2007
2 PhD positions in Theoretical Biology
Two positions for PhD students are available at the Max-Planck
Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Plön in the newly established
junior research group for Theoretical Biology, funded by the Emmy-
Noether program of the DFG. The group develops mathematical models
for biological systems, ranging from the evolution of cooperation to
mathematical models for cancer development. Current research
interests include evolutionary game theory, group selection, general
aspects of evolutionary dynamics and mathematical models for blood
disorders.
Successful applicants have a profound interest in biology and a
strong background in theoretical physics, mathematics, computer
science, computational biology, or a related field. They have
demonstrated experience in modeling biological systems. Salary is
based on TVöD 13/2.
The Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology (former MPI for
Limnology) is located in Plön, a small town in a beautiful
postglacially shaped landscape with all the amenities of a
touristically active area. The Baltic sea and the major cities Kiel
and Lübeck are only 30 minutes away. The working language at the
institute is English. The independent junior research group will be
established in addition to the departments of Evolutionary Ecology
(Prof. Dr. Milinski) and Evolutionary Genetics (Prof. Dr. Tautz).

I am interested in molecular virology. I would like to continue for a PhD program. I did my masters on HIV/TB coinfection immunology. I would be greatful if anyone mails me for discussion on this area.
Sounds perfect to me. I have read this post with a great pleasure. You should write much more often.
