CLIB Germany PhD Positions 2011 (84) | Bioinformatics/Biology/Biotech/Biochemical Engineering

CLIB2021- Cluster Industrielle Biotechnologie e.V.
Völklinger Straße 4
40219 Düsseldorf, Germany

The CLIB-Graduate Cluster Industrial Biotechnology is a joint initiative of three German universities: Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf, Bielefeld University and TU Dortmund University. In the frame of the programme, which is embedded into the Cluster Industrial Biotechnology CLIB²⁰²¹ and co-financed by the Ministry of Innovation of North Rhine-Westphalia, overall 84 PhD positions are offered to excellent candidates in the field of Industrial Biotechnology.

Thematically, this graduate school is based on four areas of research:

• Polyomics

• Expression

• Biocatalysis

• Downstream Processing

An integral part of the graduate school and its competitive advantage is the industrial orientation and the close relationship with member companies in CLIB²⁰²¹.

We invite your applications now for a projected starting date on 01 April 2011. 

Who can apply?

This is a highly competitive programme open to students (from Germany and abroad) with a Masters degree/Diploma and record of excellence in the fields of bioinformatics, biology, chemistry, biotechnology, biochemical or chemical engineering (or related disciplines). Students expecting to receive their Masters degree/Diploma by 30 March 2011 can also apply.

How to apply?

Choose the projects which interest you most from the list below. You will find further information on each project by clicking on the project title. Please note the requirements for each project. In general, projects at Bielefeld University aim at polyomics (genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and other -omics technologies) and bioinformatics. Duesseldorf University focuses on research in expression and biocatalysis while Dortmund's strengths are biocatalysis and biochemical or chemical engineering.

Applications have to be submitted online, the site will open soon.
