2010 1 Comment Written by Muhammad Younas

The Robotics and Biology Laboratory in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Technische Universit?t Berlin has an immediate opening!

About the Research
The Robotics and Biology Laboratory conducts cutting-edge research in the area of autonomous mobile manipulation, including work on manipulation, interactive perception, grasping, computer vision, motion generation, motion planning, and robotic cognition. Our work is motivated by the desire to create robotic systems that perform dexterous manipulation tasks in everyday environments with a level of competency rivaling that of humans.  We strive to demonstrate our research on real-world robotic systems. This requires the tight integration of autonomous capabilities in manipulation, perception, planning, control, machine learning, and reasoning. Researchers in our lab work at the intersection of at least two of these areas, creating innovative solutions to research challenges in robotics and artificial intelligence.  Research projects will be tailored to the preferences, skills, and experience of the successful applicant.

PhD Studentship and Research Opportunities in the Biology of Ageing, University of Liverpool, UK

PhD Studentship
We are accepting applications for a PhD studentship available for start in the autumn of 2009. The project focuses on the construction of mouse embryonic stem cell lines (mESC) exhibiting longevity biomarkers, in particular cellular resistance to oxidative stress and to sources of DNA damage thought to play a role in ageing and cancer. This project aims to: 1) employ cutting edge genomic techniques to identify new genes regulating susceptibility to stress in mESC; 2) construct stress resistant mESC lines to serve as models for studying stress response mechanisms that may modulate ageing and offer protection against age-related diseases. The exact directions of the project, however, will be adapted to fit the research interests of the student.

PhD options for a Biotech Grad

Jun13
2008 6 Comments Written by pkstudent

This is Mateen from Karachi University; I just passed out my M.Sc in Biotechnology with distinctive marks. Before doing Masters I was employed by a leading Oil & Gas exploration company. When I heard that intellectual people of Pakistan is considering Biotech would be the best profession in near future I left the job and started study again.

Now, as I completed my masters I am feeling ashamed on my decision to quit a good job as there is no job of biotech in Pakistan. Now I am looking for a Ph.D scholarship abroad. Can anybody guide me regarding getting admission in Germany & Sweden to get my Ph.D done. I am not looking to HEC as nowadays their funds are also restricted by new rulers.

I appreciate any kind of information which will guide me.
