15 international PhD fellowships in Atrial Fibrillation – AFib-TrainNet consortium (EU Marie Curie ITN actions) : Copenhagen, Denmark
The AFib-TrainNet ETN (http://afib.ku.dk/) is currently advertising 15 PhD fellowships at 7 partner institutions all over Europe. This doctoral training network consists of top research institutions and highly specialized biotech companies with the complementary competences needed to produce both outstanding research results and an excellent training environment for early stage researchers (ESRs). In the Network, all 15 ESRs from the partner institutions will enroll simultaneously (March 2016), and together benefit from an extensive web of training events. AFib-TrainNet also features a number of longer secondment periods to additional partners within the Network.

Introduction to the University of Copenhagen


  • This coordinated research exchange reflects our focus on top-level interdisciplinary science, and ensures that ESRs have the opportunity to forge strong relationships cross-network and reap the benefits of the world-class, highly interdisciplinary team of collaborating partners.

The following positions are now open:

Objectives of AFib-TrainNet

The AFib-TrainNet project are working towards four objectives. Our objectives are to:
  • Train the next generation of excellent researchers for interdisciplinary careers in basic, applied and translational cardiovascular and pharmacological research.
  • Develop cutting-edge technologies and methods for AF research by bringing together eminent experts from both industry and academia, including biologists, physiologists, pharmacologists, computational scientist and clinicians.
  • Pursue key biological targets, all the way from early stage to pre-clinical investigation.
  • Build a high-impact structure ensuring multi-level dissemination and exploitation of all results.
If interested, please follow the link to the AFib-TrainNet homepage for further information about individual ESRprojects, for contact information, and to apply.

At the EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland, we, Prof. Beat Fierz & Prof. Vassily Hatzimanikatis, offer a joint PhD position at the interface of biophysics and systems biology. In this exciting interdisciplinary project, funded by the Swiss SystemsX initiative, you will combine theoretical modelling and single molecule experiments, to analyze and predict the chromatin signaling outcomes of multivalent epigenetic effector proteins.
EPFL is one of the most prestigious research universities (ranked #14 worldwide) and provides an extremely stimulating research environment, and top level infrastructure. Furthermore, EPFL is situated in a very beautiful location in Lausanne, Switzerland, and centrally located in Europe less than an hour from Geneva, 2 h from Zürich and 4 h from Paris.

Welcome to EPFL

Project Background:

  • Chromatin, the nucleoprotein complex encompassing the eukaryotic genetic material, is highly chemically modified. Combinations of these post-translational modifications form a molecular language, interpreted by protein ‘readers’ or effectors, which results in a defined biological output. Due to the critical role of chromatin in cell function, differentiation and disease a deeper insight into these processes is of critical importance for the development of advanced treatments.
  • We recently developed a single-molecule assay based on total internal reflection microscopy (Kilic et al., Nature Commun., 2015) that allows to directly monitor effector protein interaction dynamics with modified chromatin fibers. Our goal is to quantitatively predict signaling outcomes, based on a chemical understanding of effector affinity, avidity, concentration, chromatin architecture and modification state, as well as to characterize the role of noise in the system. In this PhD project, you will perform single-molecule measurements and develop a theoretical framework to integrate quantitative interaction data to obtain a molecular description of chromatin signaling. Such a quantitative investigation will then allow us to integrate the chromatin node into quantitative models of signaling networks for systems biology studies.
As a PhD student at EPFL, you will join our internationally recognized PhD program in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering: http://phd.epfl.ch/edchmainpage
As the EPFL environment is very international, the project language as well as the general spoken language in the laboratories is English. Thus, good English skills (spoken and written) are a prerequisite.
If you have a Master degree and a background in biophysics, systems biology or related fields and are interested, send a cover letter, CV and the contact information of 3 referees to [email protected].
