Austria : The CeMM PhD Program

CeMM is an international an interdisciplinary research Center in Molecular Medicine installed by the Austrian Academy of Sciences. `From the clinic to the clinic´: Driven by medical needs, CeMM integrates basic research and clinical expertise to pursue innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches focused on cancer, inflammation and immune disorders. CeMM has a new tailor-made building at the center of the Vienna Medical University/General Hospital Campus and close to the heart of the city. Vienna has been ranked the #1 city of the world in terms of quality of life.

THE 2012 CEMM PHD PROGRAM

- Transcription factor complexes in cancer (Ref: PhD GSuperti-Furga)
- Biocomputational analysis of systems drug response (Ref: PhD JColinge 1)
- Biomathematics and the dynamics of clonality in cancer (Ref: PhD JColinge 2)
- Chemical epigenetics in cancer (Ref: PhD SKubicek)

Additional Faculty:
DBarlow, CBinder, KBoztug, SKnapp, SNijman working on epigenetic mechanisms, inflammation and atherosclerosis, genetics of immunodeficiencies and leukaemia, bacterial infections and host defense mechanisms, synthetic lethality and cancer vulnerability, innate immunity and anti-viral programs.

Candidates should submit:
a motivation letter, a curriculum vitae, names and contact details of two suggested referees. No letters of reference needed at the beginning. After a first selection round referees will be contacted by CeMM to fill out a specific evaluation form.
