PhD Student in Systems Biology (M/F), University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg The University of Luxembourg has a vacancy in its Faculty of Science, Technology and Communication for a Assistant- PhD student (Doktorand) in Systems Biology / Life Sciences 2-year contract, renewable starting December 2008 (or later) (M/F). Reference: F1-080017 Research area: Systems Biology - Life Sciences Systems biological methods shall be used to investigate the systemic properties of inflammatory signaling networks in mammalian cells. Therefore a Boolean (logical) model of inflammatory signal transduction pathways shall be developed to predict and verify experimental data, to examine the structure and hierarchy of the networks and to analyze the relevance of the contained components. Application: For further information and to apply, please contact: Thomas Sauter University of Luxembourg 162a, avenue de la Faïencerie L-1511 Luxembourg Office: Campus Limpertsberg Tel: +49 711 6856 6611 Email: thomas.sauter...

PhD student (assistant) in Systems Biology (M/F) The University of Luxembourg has a vacancy in its Faculty of Science, Technology and Communication for a Assistant- PhD student (Doktorand) in Systems Biology / Life Sciences 3-years contract, renewable starting October 2008 (or later) Research area: Systems Biology - Life Sciences Systems biological methods shall be used to investigate the systemic properties of inflammatory signalling networks in mammalian cells. Inflammation is a fundamental response of virtually all multi-cellular organisms to infection and injury. It is led on by a variety of signal transduction pathways tightly regulated and linked to other cellular events like apoptosis and proliferation. Strict regulation of this process is essential as errors can result in clinically relevant disorders like infection and sepsis, atherosclerotic disease and others. The large number of participating components, their dependencies and multiple stimuli make the analysis of this sign...

"Reasoning and formal argumentation in the field of trust management." The University of Luxembourg is looking within its Computer Science and Communications Research Unit for a: PhDStudent in Computer Science (M/F) Ref : R1F107K30 4-year job (consisting of two 2-year contracts) 40 hours/week on the topic of reasoning and formal argumentation in the field of trust management. Reasoning about trust is a process that often involves the application of rules of thumb, general guidelines or argument and counterargument. During recent years, the field of formal argumentation has produced a range of formalisms, as well as software implementations, to deal with issues such as nonmonotonic reasoning, decision making and agent communication. In this context, the University of Luxembourg is currently setting up a research project (Advanced Argumentation Techniques for Trust Management, AASTM) to apply the approach of formal argumentation to the issue of trust management. The work consis...

The Institute of Immunology at the Laboratoire National de Santé/CRP-Santé (Luxembourg) and the Graduate School of Psychobiology of the University of Trier invite applications for 2 Ph.D. fellowships in Immunology (biologists, biochemists) of the International Research Training Group Psychoneuroendocrinology of Stress: from Genes and Molecules to Affect and Cognition funded by the DFG in collaboration with the University of Leiden. Research projects center around effects of stress response mediators on the immune system. Applicants should have a keen interest in the pre- and posttranslational control of glucocorticoid and other steroid receptors. We seek highly motivated candidates with and who enjoy working in a stimulating and international environment. A strong academic record, knowledge in immunology or neuroendocrinology or other relevant fields is essential. The Institute is well funded and fully equipped with top-ofthe line instrumentation. Proficiency in English and scientific...
