Europe : Erasmus Mundus International Masters in Russian, Central East European Studies (IMRCEES) Scholarships
The International Masters in Russian, Central and East European Studies (IMRCEES) programme welcomes applications from students around the world. You can apply as a self-funded student or you can apply for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship.
Applicants must apply online and submit the necessary supporting documentation with the online application.
For all categories of applicants, your application must include the following documents:
- University of Glasgow Application form: online application for a place on the degree programme
- Certified copies of academic transcripts (translated into English)
- Degree certificate (and an official translation):
NB: Students who have not yet completed their degree can also apply. Please provide academic transcripts to date. Offers of a place on the programme will be conditional pending receipt of the final degree result. Applications will be considered for scholarship but any offer of a scholarship will also be conditional until the final degree result is confirmed. See 'Who is Eligible to Apply' - conditional offers. - CV (European format)
- English language proficiency test certificate
NB. In cases where it is not possible to provide proof of language qualification at this stage, applications will still be accepted but any offer of a place on the programme or of a scholarshiop will be conditional until the test result is received. See 'Who is Eligible to Apply' - conditional offers. - Proof of citizenship (i.e. information page of passport)
- Two references (at least one academic and if appropriate, the other may be from the applicant’s most recent employer)
References uploaded online are preferred. However, references sent by post or by email attachment will also be accepted. All references must be received by the application deadline. - Erasmus Mundus Scholarship application form: EM IMRCEES 2015-2017 Scholarship Application Form
or
- Application form for Self Funding Students: EM IMRCEES 2015-2017 Self Funding Application Form
The deadline for scholarship applications is 01 December 2014. Late or incomplete applications will not be put forward to the Consortium scholarship selection committee.

France : Post-doctoral fellowship in Parasitology at the Institut Pasteur
A 28-month postdoctoral position, funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR), is available in the Trypanosome Cell Biology research unit at the Institut Pasteur in Paris (http://www.pasteur.fr/en/research/trypa) under the supervision of Dr. Brice Rotureau.
PROJECT: Importance of trypanosome sensing during the early infection in the mammalian host
PROJECT: Importance of trypanosome sensing during the early infection in the mammalian host
Description
Human African Trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness is a neglected tropical disease caused by the flagellated protist Trypanosoma brucei. Nagana is a similar disease in cattle due to closely related trypanosome species. The injection of these extra-cellular parasites by the bite of the tsetse fly induces a local inflammatory response. Trypanosomes then apparently transit via the lymphatic system before invading the bloodstream where they proliferate and cause the typical symptoms of the disease. However, very little is known about the early steps of infection, especially the mechanisms of trypanosome differentiation, proliferation and passage to the bloodstream.
The aim of this project is to establish the importance of the trypanosome flagellum in this early phase of the infection. This multi-functional organelle has been proposed to be a key virulence factor.
The early steps of T. brucei development upon natural transmission of a fluorescent strain by a tsetse fly bite will be monitored using state-of-the-art intravital imaging technologies. Functional investigations with conditional knockout parasites will be performed to discover the role of flagellum sensing in migration towards specific tissues and avoidance of host immune cells by using mutants deprived of specific flagellar sensing candidate proteins. Overall, these studies will reveal the early steps of trypanosome infection and could be crucial to improve early diagnosis and treatment.

Germany : Ph.D. position - Plant signal transduction and abiotic stress response
A PhD student position is available at the Department of Plant Systems Biology in the frame of the SFB924 Molecular mechanisms regulating yield and yield stability in plants. at the LifeScience campus of the Technische Universitt Manchen in Freising-Weihenstephan.
Many growth environments have a negative impact on plant growth and yield since they expose plants to abiotic stresses such as cold or heat stress, salt stress and dought stress. For optimal plant growth and ultimately optimal yield, plants need to be able to grow in these adverse environments. The environmental changes associated wtih global warming make it even more pressing to understand the responses of plants to adverse environments.
In the advertised Ph.D. project, we are interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms that control plant growth in abiotic stress conditions in response to the plant hormone gibberellin (GA). GAs have been implicated in various stress responses and here we seek to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the interplay between this plant hormone and cold responses, also as a model for other abiotic stresses. To this end, we have generated already a comprehensive gene expression dataset from the plant model species Arabidopsis thaliana and the crop plants tomato and barley explosed to cold stress in the presence and absence of the GA hormone. Through data analysis we have identified a range of novel cold response elements that we now seek to analyze at the molecular level.
We are seeking a highly motivated Ph.D. student to integrate genetic, physiological and cell biological analyses and to identify novel players in cold and other abiotic stress responses in plants. The laboratory has expertise in a very borad range of cell biological techniques as well as molecular biology and physiology approaches. The project is also well suited for applicants with an interest in next generation sequencing data analyses, bioinformatics or biomathematics.
The position will remain open until filled.
The Department of Plant Systems Biology has direct access to state of the art technology for cell biological analysis, biochemical analysis, next generation sequencing etc. and possesses all techniques and equipment required for plant research. The laboratory also has strong ties with the Plant Bioinformatics unit located at the Helmholtz Zentrum München.
If you are interested in the position, please send a letter of motivation and a CV with at least two names of referees to:claus.schwechheimer@wzw.tum.de.
