GENETICS OF GRANULOMATOUS DISEASES
PhD position in Molecular Biology and Genetics at the Institute of
Molecular Biology, Kiel, Germany.

A PhD student position is available at the Institute for Molecular
Biology (IKMB), Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel, Germany.
The position relates to a scientific research project in the area of
Human genetics, Quantitative genomics and Bioinformatics. The project
deals with systematic genetic studies identifying susceptibility
mechanisms for sarcoidosis and other human granulomatous diseases (e.g.
tuberculosis, Berylliosis) using genome-wide SNP data. The research
involves analysis of high density SNP association studies of large
population samples, sequencing, gene expression and related bioinformatics.

GENERAL INFORMATION
We are using state-of-art DNA technologies, including genome-wide scans
and dedicated follow-up studies to identify and characterize novel
susceptibility loci for granulomatous diseases.
The candidate will work with an internationally recognized team of
scientists in this area of research within IKMB, with the access to high
throughput, state-of-the-art experimental (e.g. SNPlex, next-generation
sequencing, immunological and cell biological analytic) and
computational facilities and large genomic databases.
The successful candidate will be enrolled at the University of Kiel.
He/She will be supervised by Dr. Sylvia Hofmann at the IKMB. Relevant
project information can be found at the IKMB website http://www.ikmb.de.

ELIGIBILITY AND PAYMENT
A high quality honours or Masters degree or similar in the field of
molecular genetics or population genetics or animal/plant
genomics/breeding or bioinformatics or evolutionary biology or similar
field is required. Exceptional B.Sc. students are also encouraged to apply.
Experience in molecular biology methods, a computer programming
knowledge and use of statistical analysis software is desirable. The
position is open to international applicants but German citizenship or
residencies are preferred.
Financing is available for at least three years. The salary is according
to the standard guidelines of German universities.

APPLICATION
Applications including a short CV (max 3 pages), list of publications,
and the names and contact information including e-mail addresses of two
researchers willing to write a letter of reference should be sent via
e-mail to: s.hofmann@ikmb.uni-kiel.de (write “HumGen - Granuloma - PhD
position” on the subject line)

Applications close by April 30, 2008. The position will remain open
until filled.
