PhD Student Position BIOMINTEC Project, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands
1.0 fte (38h per week)
vacancy number 08-1057
Research at Johannes Gutenberg Universität (Mainz, Germany): The fellow will investigate the mechanism of self-assembly of sponge silicatein and the intermediary formation of fractal aggregates. The effect of the molar ratio of the silicatein isoforms (? and ?) on the kinetics of this process as well as on the size and shape of the formed aggregates/ fibres will be determined. Research at the University of Amsterdam: A model will developed for the regulatory network controlling biosilicification in sponges. The processes in the regulatory network will be modelled at different levels of detail. Stochastic effects because of low molecule numbers and spatial inhomogeneties can be very relevant here. To incorporate this type of effects it is required to use different modelling paradigms (Monte Carlo simulations, particle – (individual-based) modelling, Ordinary Differential Equations and Partial Differential Equations) in combination. Modelling the biochemical reactions in a complex-shaped interface will require the application of particle-based methods.
Requirements
Candidates should have a master’s degree (or equivalent) in scientific computing or computational science, (computational) physics, chemistry, molecular biology or a comparable expertise. Candidates are expected to have expertise in modelling and scientific programming and an active interest in life science applications.
