PhD student position
in Molecular Biology with focus on Bioinformatics
The position is at the Department of Molecular Biology and within the Computational Life Science Cluster (CLiC) at Umeå University
The control of gene expression is highly complex in all organisms, requiring major energetic inputs and the maintenance of intricate structures and mechanisms. Consequently, approximately 10% of investigated proteins in mammalian and invertebrate genomes appear to be involved in gene regulation. Many of these proteins bind directly to the DNA or chromatin and to understand gene regulation we need to understand how the regulatory proteins are targeted to their sites of action. Using modern array technology and the new generation sequencing techniques, an increasing number of their binding sites are being mapped in detail across the whole genomes of the commonly used model organisms. However, although there is evidence for sequence components involved in their targeting, defining DNA-binding motifs has proven difficult. In my group we study sequence variation across entire eukaryotic genomes and try to link DNA elements to the targeting of regulatory proteins. We also develop methods to handle the large amounts of data produced by the new generation tiling array and deep sequencing technologies. The main focus of this PhD project will be on computational mining of functional DNA elements involved in the targeting of proteins important for correct gene expression in eukaryotic genomes.
Qualifications

Good day sir. I will like to get scholarship programs for masters in bioinformatics in any country in the world. I will also like to know if it is possible to apply for a PhD usining a bachelors of sciences only without necessarily having a masters degress. I have a bachelors of sciences in biochemistry from the university of Buea in Cameroon,Africa.
i wan have undergraduate medical scolarship how can i find it?
I have a BA degree in English, I have another BA degree in Management, and I have a master’s degree in curriculum, all from Addis Ababa University of Ethiopia. If I get full scholarship I want to study your offer.

Respected Professor,
This is Seyed mohammad amin feghhi, a M.Sc graduate in Biotechnology from University of science & research Tehran,iran. The biological world is changing like never before. And with these changes the global competition has also increased. This has further increased the significance of industrial science, as to enter into this competitive scientific world one must possesses competency and confidence for facing the resulting complexity and the challenge while negotiating and coping with them successfully. If a goal is to build a successful career in scientific, that is.Hence, having a M.Sc degree with me, I decided to pursue PhD at higher institute in Biotechnology.
So is there any one who wish to provide a suitable place for me as a PhD scholar and help to contribute my education and experience for healthy living society. or if i’m suitable for positions you have offered above please inform me. I hope to hear a good news.
Than king you a lot and oblige.
Yours sincerely
