JSMC is an ambitious Graduate School with over 150 PhD students who are educated in a structured, interdisciplinary training program based on top-level fundamental research. It conceptionally combines different research areas to a comprehensive picture of microbial communication (www.jsmc.uni-jena.de). Institutes at five faculties of the Friedrich Schiller University Jena, six non-university research institutes as well as 12 partner companies are participating in this cutting-edge research and training program. Banded Iron Formations are controversial (meta-) sedimentary rocks composed of alternating layers of iron-rich and amorphous silica-rich layers. In the context of early earth evolution, the formation of BIFs is considered as a microbially mediated process that involves iron-metabolizing microorganisms. To better understand the genesis of BIFs, the project comprises detailed mineralogical and geochemical investigations of banded irons from Western Australia, and the experimental laboratory simulation of microbially mediated precipitation of iron minerals<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>How to Apply<\/strong>: By email<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Scholarship Application Deadline<\/strong>: March 16, 2012<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Read more:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/scholarship-positions.com\/phd-fellowship-in-microbial-origin-of-banded-iron-formations-at-jsmc-germany\/2012\/03\/02\/#ixzz1o8HSzCQV\">PhD Fellowship in Microbial Origin of Banded Iron Formations at JSMC, Germany : 2012 2013 College Scholarships, PhD Scholarships, Postdoctoral, Graduate International Scholarships Fellowships<\/a><br \/>\nhttp:\/\/scholarship-positions.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The German Excellence Initiative funded PhD Fellowship in Microbial Origin of Banded Iron Formations at Jena School for Microbial Communication, Germany Eligibility: &#8211; a Master\u2019s degree (or equivalent) in Natural Sciences (geobiology, geology, mineralogy microbiology and\/or chemistry).
