    Two PhD student positions at the Groningen Biomolecular Sciences and Biotechnology Institute,

    Universityof

    Groningen.

    The

    PhD

    students

    will

    work

    within

    the

    Marie

    Curie

    project

    ISOLATE

    Developing single cell technologies for systems biology with the research project "Singlecell

    metabolicchangesduringyeastcellcycleoscillations".

    Descriptionofwork:Thegoalof thisresearchproject is to identifywhethermetabolicoscillationsarethedriverofthe(yeast)cellcycle.Towardsthisgoal,weaimatunravelingthemetabolicchanges

    Requested background (advantageous but not required): yeast biology, knowledge aboutmetabolism,microscopy,imageanalysis,developmentofmathematicalmodels,systemsthinking

    TheMarie Curie project ISOLATE is a collaborative research and training network between eight

    partners, incl. theUniversityofOxford and ETH Zurich, indifferent European countries. The PhD

    studentsandpostdocs in theprojectwillperform topnotch researchandwilladditionallybenefit

    fromanexcellent trainingnetworkofferedby theprojectpartners.Researchstaysduring thePhD

    projects inotherpartners labsarestronglyencouraged.Primarilyrecruitmentof researchers from

    EC

    Member

    States

    and

    associated

    countries,

    but

    also

    open

    to

    researchers

    from

    third

    countries.

    Researchers are normally required to move from one country to another when taking up the

    appointment.

    The PhD positions will be embedded in the Molecular Systems Biology group

    (http://www.rug.nl/fmnsresearch/molecularsystemsbiology/index) of theUniversity ofGroningen.
