Faculty of Science – Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences at University of Amsterdam announces PhD Position. The position is offered in the field of Molecular Biology/Biochemistry. Applicants applying for the position will receive a salary of €2.062 to €2.664 gross per month based on 38 hours per week. The PhD student should have a Master degree in molecular biology, biochemistry, or related discipline, and experience with bacterial cloning techniques.

Study Subject(s): Position is offered in Molecular Biology/Biochemistry.
Course Level: This position is available for pursuing PhD programme at University of Amsterdam in Netherlands.
Scholarship Provider: University of Amsterdam, Netherlands
Scholarship can be taken at: Netherlands

Eligibility: The PhD candidate has a Master degree in molecular biology, biochemistry, or related discipline, and experience with bacterial cloning techniques. Experience with protein purification and enzyme assays is desirable.

Scholarship Open for International Students: The applicants from Netherlands can apply for the position.

Scholarship Description: Cell division in bacteria is executed by a large protein complex that comprises more than ten different proteins. How this protein complex establishes cytokinesis is largely unknown. They have identified a new cell division protein, SepF, which is conserved in Gram-positive bacteria and cyanobacteria. This protein makes very large protein rings that bundle the tubulin-like protein FtsZ, the key bacterial cell division protein, into large tubular structures. We have now strong evidence that SepF also anchors FtsZ to the cell membrane. This PhD project will focus on the molecular mechanism of SepF in cell division with the ultimate goal to understand how bacterial cell division works. Since cell division is a promising target for novel antibiotics, this project will also support the development of future antimicrobial compounds, which is important considering the worrying rise in multidrug resistant pathogens.

Number of awards: Not known

Duration of awards: The appointment will start on 1 September 2013 and will be on a temporary basis for a period of 4 years (initial appointment will be for a period of 18 months and after satisfactory evaluation it can be extended for a total duration of 4 years) and should lead to a dissertation (PhD thesis).

The Award, now entering its twelfth year, was founded in 2000 at the University Club of Washington DC, and is managed by the Tewaaraton Foundation, a non-profit organization whose mission is to not only recognize the most outstanding male and female collegiate lacrosse players, but also to honor the American Indian heritage of the sport . A huge part of their mission is to “uphold the original purpose of the Award and to provide scholarships to Native American high school seniors in the Iroquois Nation,” as they state on their website. The 2012 Tewaaraton Award Ceremony will be held May 31st at the SmithsonianNational Museum of the American Indianin Washington, DC.

Below we’ve provided some general information about the Tewaaraton Outstanding Native American Scholarship, which is presented by US Lacrosse. The deadline for application materials, which has just been extended, is now May 5th.  Please visit www.tewaaraton.comto for the full application!

General Information:

The Tewaaraton Outstanding Native American Scholarship’s objective is to recognize and reward exceptional students’ academic and athletic achievement. This supplemental award is intended to help Native American lacrosse players of Iroquois heritage. All awards are based on the merits of academic achievement, athletic performance and ambition. Additionally, nominees are asked to articulate what lacrosse means to them as a Native American student-athlete. Since one of the primary goals of the Tewaaraton Outstanding Native American Scholarship is to honor lacrosse’s Native American roots, the selection committee will weigh heavily on this aspect of the application.

Deadlines:

It is the applicant’s sole responsibility to meet all deadlines. Missing material due to failure by others to meet final deadlines will cause your application not to be processed. It is the sole responsibility of the applicant to follow up and ensure that the Tewaaraton Outstanding Native American Scholarship Committee receives valid documents on or before designated deadlines.There will be no exceptions to this rule.

Awards:

The $5,000.00 scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis to one (1) Native American female student and one (1) Native American male student.
