CeMM is
inviting applications for the next PhD Program starting in October 2014. The center
is specifically looking for exceptionally motivated PhD candidates with a keen
interest in genomics and medicine and a strong interest to work in teams.
The 2014
CeMM PhD Program will focus on two thematic areas: INFECTION and CANCER, that
are built on the pillars of epigenetics, bioinformatics and systems biology,
chemical biology and the mechanism of action of drugs, high-throughput
genetics, genomics and proteomics, and molecular and cell biology.
The choice
of this strategic focus rests on the synergies between immunology, infection
and cancer in pathophysiological and technological terms. It furthermore
reflects the strength of the current CeMM faculty, itself built around the
historical and contemporary expertise in immunology and cancer of the Medical
University of Vienna.
As a CeMM
PhD student you will get the chance to work at the cutting edge of
interdisciplinary molecular medicine research and be trained by the entire CeMM
and associated faculty to become one of the scientists shaping the future of
molecular medicine.
Requirements
To be
eligible to enroll in the CeMM PhD Program all candidates are required to have
a bachelor’s or master’s degree in medicine, biology, chemistry,
bioinformatics, mathematics or any scientific/technical, subject-relevant degree.
Candidates do not need to have completed their degree at the time of
