Overview
At the Faculties of Engineering, Science and Medicine, Department of Health Science and Technology a position as Ph.D. fellow (position no. 562/06-21-10044) is open for appointment from 1.9.2010.
Job description:
Generation of smooth muscle cells from mesenchymal stem cells
The PhD stipend is available within the general study programme “Biomedical Science and Engineering”.
The project builds upon the stem cell group’s expertise on adipose stem cell (ASC) differentiation. Adipose stem cells can be induced to differentiate into a diverse set of cells. Smooth muscle is important for many body functions and damage or change in smooth muscle morphology often cause degraded tissue function. The focus of this project is to investigate the potential of ASC for differentiation, production and engineering of smooth muscle cells. This includes genetic profiling, protein regulation, cell morphology and contractility assays. The clinical application of the project is primarily in regeneration of smooth muscle, particularly fecal incontinence, and the group has several clinical links. The clinical link is important for the project, and the student may pursue different goals in that context.
The PhD project will be supervised by Associate Professor: Jeppe Emmersen
Qualification requirements:
PhD stipends are allocated to individuals who hold a Masters degree. PhD stipends are normally for a period of 3 years. It is a prerequisite for allocation of the stipend that the candidate will be enrolled as a PhD student at the Doctoral School of the Faculties of Engineering, Science and Medicine, in accordance with the regulations of Ministerial Order No. 18 of January 14, 2008 on the PhD Programme at the Universities. According to the Ministerial Order, the progress of the PhD student shall be assessed every six months. It is a prerequisite for continuation of salary payment that the previous progress is approved at the time of the evaluation.
The qualifications of the applicant will be assessed by an assessment committee. On the basis of the recommendation of the assessment committee, the Dean of the Faculties of Engineering, Science and Medicine will make a decision for allocating the stipend.
Appointment and salary acc. to the Ministry of Finance Circular of January 11, 2006 on the Collective Agreement for Academics in Denmark, Appendix 5, regarding PhD fellows, and with the Ministry of Finance Circular of June 13, 2007 on the employment structure at Danish Universities.
