Introduction: The Arete Initiative at the University of Chicago is
pleased to announce a new $3 million research program on a New Science
of Virtues. This is a multidisciplinary research initiative that seeks
contributions from individuals and from teams of investigators working
within the humanities and the sciences. We support highly original,
scholarly projects that demonstrate promise of a distinctive
contribution to virtue research and have the potential to begin a new
field of interdisciplinary study. (more…)
20 PhD studentships in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology available from April 1, 2009
The PhD programme funded by the German Research Foundation is administered by the Technical University Munich and Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich in close cooperation with Moscow State University. The main scientific goal is to combine computational and experimental approaches to achieve a qualitatively new level of understanding of cellular regulatory systems and their evolution, with a spezial emphasis on signaling networks. Specific areas of investigation include comparative genomics of metabolic and regulatory systems, network-based interpretation of transcriptome and proteome data, and posttranscriptional regulation mechanisms.
