Upcoming job openings for the Marie-Curie Initial Training Network "PoLiMeR"
Background
The Marie-Curie ITN "PoLiMeR" (Polymers in the Liver: Metabolism and Regulation) has been positively evaluated and the official project start is envisaged in October 2018.The project is coordinated by Prof. Barbara Bakker, University of Groningen.
The interdisciplinary project will study metabolic diseases related to disorders in carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism. The consortium includes clinicians, experimental biologists, and theoretical biologists, who will form a deeply collaborative consortium to understand mechanisms of various energy metabolism-related disorders.
Pending opportunities for Early Stage Researchers
While not yet officially advertised, we will be seeking outstanding candidates for two Early Stage Researchers (ESRs). The successful candidates will be developing mathematical models to study carbohydrate polymer metabolism in humans, and in particular to explain the causal effects of enzymatic disorders on human health. The project will be carried out in close collaboration with experimental and clinical partners within PoLiMeR.
Mobility rule by the EU
For ITNs, successful candidates must fulfil the mobility criteria defined by the European Commission:
At the time of recruitment by the host organisation, researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of their host organisation for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the reference date.
Specifically, for the ESRs to be recruited at the Heinrich-Heine University, this means that they cannot have lived/worked for more than 12 months in Germany prior to the recruitment date. The recruitment is envisaged for April 2019.
Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Oliver Ebenhöh
There are currently no other open positions @ QTB.
However, the situation may change in the future. People interested in working with us are invited any time to contact us and send motivation letters and CVs.
We also support candidates who wish to acquire their own funding.
