The Netherlands: PhD Scholarship on Biocatalysis, University of Groningen
Four-year PhD scholarship on biocatalysis
Groningen Research Institute of Pharmacy, University of Groningen, The Netherlands
Project description
It concerns a 4-year research project aimed at the exploration of proline-based biocatalysts for catalyzing non-natural carbonyl transformation reactions. The work involves the extensive screening for aldolase, alkylation, decarboxylation, and Michael addition activities in several well-known tautomerases. The target activities or products will be identified by UV and fluorescence spectroscopy (e.g., in an 96/384-well format), HPLC, LC-MS, GC-MS and NMR. Of the best enzymes, a detailed mechanistic characterization will be carried out, using kinetic and pH studies as well as site-directed mutagenesis. In collaboration with other members of the research group, the most promising enzymes that show the desired activity will be used in engineering experiments to enhance or extent the activity to a practical level.
Offered scholarship
We offer a PhD grant of about €1580,- per month during 4 years. The research should lead at the end of the 4-years period to a PhD in Natural Sciences. See also this link.
Organization
The research will be conducted in the Pharmaceutical Biotechnology group of Dr. G.J. Poelarends, which is embedded in the Department of Pharmaceutical Biology headed by Prof. Dr. W.J. Quax (www.farmbio.nl). The department participates in the Groningen Research Institute of Pharmacy (GRIP) and the interfaculty Graduate School for Drug Exploration (GUIDE). The living cell as a factory for pharmaceutically relevant compounds is the central theme of the Department of Pharmaceutical Biology. The laboratory is well equipped for enzymology, protein engineering, analytical chemistry, and biocatalysis work. We offer a stimulating work environment for a researcher interested in these topics. The project will be carried out in collaboration with the research group of Prof. Dr. C.P. Whitman (Medicinal Chemistry, University of Texas at Austin).
Requirements
We are looking for a highly motivated and skilled researcher with a masters (MSc) degree in organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, biocatalysis, or similar, and with expertise in analytical techniques (NMR, HPLC and/or LC/GC-MS) and/or synthetic chemistry.

PhD Student in Applied Environmental Science
focus on Ozone depleting gases - Isotopic Source Apportionment
Methyl chloride and methyl bromide are both significantly affecting atmospheric chemistry including thinning of the stratospheric ozone layer. There exists a large uncertainty regarding the relative importance of their different natural (e.g., marine and land-based) and anthropogenic sources. This Ph.D. thesis project would seek to develop and apply unique measurements of the isotopic composition of these methyl halides (e.g., C, Br, and Cl isotope systems) to make progress toward improved understanding of the sources that are required for projections of future ozone layer thickness. This position offers the possibility to acquire a broad range of analytical and conceptual skills within environmental analytical chemistry, biogeochemistry and climate science. The Ph.D. student would join an internationally active group of researchers and have full access to state-of-the-art field sampling and analytical facilities at Stockholm University and the Swedish Museum of Natural History (Laboratory for Isotope Geology). Field campaigns are planned to the Swedish west coast, sub-arctic Abisko region and on northern Svalbard in the high Arctic. This project is primarily financed by the Swedish Research Council (VR).
Qualifications
We are seeking a highly motivated student with a completed university degree in one science and a genuine interest in interdisciplinary environmental/climate research. Your background is likely in chemistry, engineering or earth and environmental sciences. Experience in instrumental analysis would be an asset but is not a requirement.
Application
Your application, including CV, transcripts of all university courses with grades, a copy of your university degree, a cover letter outlining your qualifications and interest for this position, name and contact information to two reference persons, and any other documents (e.g., diploma thesis/”examensarbete”) you would like to include should be submitted to

Australia: Software Engineering Research Scholarship
Project title:
Probabilistic Verification and Model-Based Quality Evaluation
Research topic:
Model Based Development (MBD) has established itself as the key approach to software engineering of increasingly complex systems in automotive and aerospace domains. It has proved successful at managing complexity associated with functionality. A new approach is to use model-based techniques also for quality evaluation and predictions. Since most of quality attributes such as performance, reliability, availability, safety, and security have a probabilistic nature, probabilistic verification techniques are the best solution to perform model-based quality evaluation. The research project shall explore the possibilities of probabilistic modelling and verification techniques to reason about quality attributes early in the software development lifecycle. To get a detailed introduction into this research project please have a look at the following background literature:
-Controller dependability analysis by probabilistic model checking (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.conengprac.2006.07.003)
-Quantitative risk-based security prediction for component-based systems with explicitly modeled attack profiles (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jss.2007.11.716)
-Early quality prediction of component-based systems – A generic framework (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jss.2006.08.014)
Your Benefits:
Basically, the benefits can be summarised as follows:
* You will work on real-world research problems. (There will always be opportunities to cooperate with major software and systems engineering companies.)
* You will be trained in all skills that are required to successfully finish you research project. Our goal is to help you develop the skills, connections, and opportunities required, that ensure a successful postgraduate career.
* You will create research outputs at the highest standards. In today’s world, it is not only enough to be good, students must be great and competitive compared to other graduate students. Please have a look at our own research outputs.
* You will get optimal and continuous supervision. My goal is to give you strong support on your research from a technical side. However, we also try to help my students to develop their personal skills. If you like to know more about my supervision style, we can provide contact details of recently graduated students as reference.
* You study in a friendly and cooperative environment. Australia is known for its friendliness.
We require:
We are interested in a PhD student who has an excellent academic record (first class honours or equivalent with marks above 85%) with background in one or more of the following areas:
-probabilistic logics and probabilistic verification
-probabilistic model checking
-quality attributes such as performance, reliability, availability, safety, and security
-software engineering (in the areas of embedded systems, robotics, etc. )
-software architectures and architecture evaluation
-formal methods in system design
-statistics
Since this project involves working with other PhD students and industrial partner, communication skills and the ability to work in a team environment are especially required.
The scholarship carries a value of AUS$20,000+ p.a., with fee exemption for both Australian and international students. The selection process will be competitive. If you are interested in the research project, please provide the following information via email to lgrunske[ at ] swin.edu.au:
