The Leibniz Graduate School on Aging and Age-Related Diseases (LGSA) offers for the year 2007
13 fellowships for PhD students
http://www.fli- leibniz.de/ news/phd_ en.php
The LGSA is a joint activity of the Leibniz Institute for Age Research (FLI) and the Friedrich Schiller University (FSU) in Jena. The program started in fall 2006. The LGSA provides ambitious training and research opportunities for graduates who wish to obtain a PhD in the fields of Molecular Biology, Molecular Genetics, Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, Neurobiology or Structural Biology. Training and research within the PhD program is interdisciplinary with the endeavor to understand the multifaceted mechanisms that cause the development of age-related diseases and those that cause senescence and aging. Lectures by resident and guest scientists,
practical courses and lessons in presentation skills will accompany the program. Eligible are students that have obtained, or that will obtain within half a year, an academic degree comparable to the master degree or diploma in life sciences.
Interested candidates are encouraged to apply before 1st of June 2007 for the following projects:
