The Deep Sequencing Group at the Biotechnology Center of the TU Dresden (under Top 10 best international places to work in 2011, w/o USA) searches a highly motivated PhD candidate with strong interest in technology development for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)

applications.

The project is focussing on the development of methods for the transcriptome wide analysis of single cells and is being carried out

in close collaboration with the group of Prof. Brand (http://www.crt-dresden.de/research/crtd-core-groups/brand.html) where developed methods will be used to study processes in brain development.

Research work will involve the development of preparative techniques to isolate and amplify minute amounts of RNA coming from few down to single cells and their biological application. For analysis classical molecular biology methods and next gen sequencing will be used. The project also comprises the analysis of NGS data using open source

bioinformatics tools. Therefore experience and interest in bioinformatics is an advantage.

We are looking for a motivated Ph.D. applicant who is curious and open for new

challenges on the field of developmental biology and neurobiology using innovative high throughput techniques.

If you are interested, please send your applications containing your curriculum vitae, University certificates and a cover letter summarizing relevant work experience and motivation to andreas.dahl@biotec.tu-dresden.de. (For information please phone +49
