\"\"The Helmholtz Space Life Sciences Research School (SpaceLife) at the German
\nAerospace Center, Institute of Aerospace Medicine, funded by the German Helmholtz
\nAssociation, offers
\n13 PhD Scholarships (M\/F) in Space Life Sciences<\/strong><\/span>
\nfor 3 years
\nApplication Deadline: 31.07.2012 <\/span><\/p>\n

Start Date: October 2012 to January 2013<\/span><\/p>\n

\nResearch Area<\/span>
\nApplied Physiology, Nutrition and Sports Sciences, Molecular Cell Biology, Radiation Biology and Radiation Physics<\/span>
\nJob Specification<\/span>
\nThe Helmholtz Space Life Sciences Research School (SpaceLife) offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary training for <\/span>
\ndoctoral students from different fields. In each generation, up to 25 students from any country can participate in the <\/span>
\nthree-year program. Project language is English.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThe scientific training is provided in cooperation with several German universities (Aachen, Berlin, Bonn, ErlangenN\u00fcrnberg, Kiel, K\u00f6ln, DSHS K\u00f6ln, Magdeburg, Marburg, M\u00fcnchen, Regensburg) in a superb and vibrant research
\nenvironment with state of the art facilities and cutting edge research projects. Students will learn to develop integrated
\nconcepts to solve health issues in human spaceflight and in related disease patterns on Earth, and to further explore the
\nrequirements for life in extreme environments, enabling a better understanding of the ecosystem Earth and the search
\nfor life on other planets in unmanned and manned missions.
\nProspective students can choose one out of more than 13 challenging research projects offered by our faculty members.
\nAlthough students specialize in a particular research topic (Radiobiology, Gravitational Biology, Astrobiology,
\nSpace Physiology), the interdisciplinary context of the program facilitates interactions with other research groups and
\nfosters the ability of cross-frontier thinking. Laboratory work is supplemented by lectures, a students\u2019 workshop, journal
\nclubs, elective courses, soft skills training, exchanges with partner universities or partner organizations, and participation
\nin national or international conferences.
