PhD (BAT-O-IIa/2) position in Immunology



at the Institute of Immunology of the

Otto-von-Guericke University in Magdeburg



We are seeking an enthusiastic graduate student to
study the function
of the serine/threonine kinase PKB/Akt in T cell
activation.



PKB is involved in the regulation of various cellular
processes
including metabolism, cell cycle and survival. PKB
transgenic T cells are
hyperreactive and show altered cytokine production and
apoptosis.



In the PhD project PKB transgenic mice will be
infected with MOG
peptide to induce experimental autoimmune
encephalomyelitis (EAE), a model
system for human multiple sclerosis. We will study the
in vivo immune
response and define biochemical and molecular
mechanisms underlying
PKB-mediated differences in T cell reactivity and
disease progression.
Several immunological and biochemical methods will be
employed.



The position is available immediately. Candidates
should have
theoretical and practical knowledge in immunology or
microbiology/biochemistry.

FUENTE: TIEMPO UNIVERSITARIO
Con 26 años, Andrés Vásquez se aventuró a salir del país y se fue para
Alemania

Este joven estudia una Maestría en geotecnia, geodesia e
infraestructura civil en la Universidad de Hannover.

Después de haber aplicado a una beca del DAAD - Deutscher Akademischer
Austauch Dienst, que es otorgada a 6 u 8 personas, entre 150 que
aplican para obtenerla, Andrés está, hace un año y dos meses, en una
ciudad de 500.000 habitantes,  al lado de Berlín y Hamburgo.

Pero, ¿por qué ir tan lejos para estudiar una ingeniería cuya
especialización se concentra en la formación de la corteza terrestre?

Resulta que Alemania es un país con una economía bastante sólida y,
por consiguiente,  avanzado en tecnologías y educación, sin contar con
la arquitectura, música y panorama diferentes. Entonces era la opción
perfecta para ponerse un reto más en la vida y, al mismo tiempo,
usufructuarse de ello.

Pues para él, ese coraje y constancia están dando resultados. Esta
ciudad cuenta con una de las bibliotecas más grandes de Alemania y la
Universidad de Hannover tiene un programa para ingenieros que viven en
países en vía de desarrollo -como los alemanes los llaman- o países
tercermundistas.

Esta vez, Andrés se deparó, además de los germánicos, con personas de
otros continentes. Hizo amigos de Chile, Bolivia, El Chad, Togo,
Benin, Egipto, Nepal, China, entre otros. Todos ellos que tuvieron el
mismo coraje para lidiar con el idioma alemán, que debió haber sido
algo laborioso, pero claro, sin olvidar sus costumbres y su lengua madre.

"Los profesores como saben que el idioma no es nuestro fuerte, hablan
claro y siempre están dispuestos a ayudarnos...No fue fácil comenzar,
pero bueno, tuve que acostumbrarme" dice Andrés.

Pero esa no fue la única regla que le cambió. Las estaciones también
le cambiaron y, en cada una, se llevan a cabo varias actividades
dependiendo de la época.
Un ejemplo es el actual "Frühlingsfest", Festival de Primavera, o el
Festival de Disparo "Schützenfest", que viene después, para finalmente
cambiar nuestras "chispitas mariposas" por un "Weihnachtsmark" en
Diciembre, que es el mercado de navidad.

Hannover es así, una ciudad emprendedora, con bastantes extranjeros y
un gran movimiento.

Hay un sistema de transporte muy bueno, tranvía y buses. Muchos de los
estudiantes se movilizan en bicicleta, además porque la universidad
cuenta con edificios para los propios estudiantes o con "WG"
(apartamentos).

También hay albergues estudiantiles con varias habitaciones, en los
cuales se comparte la cocina, los baños, son cómodos y se considera
que es la forma más económica, en cuanto a vivienda estudiantil.

Lugares, paisajes, vocabulario diferentes. Animarse a una `abenteuer'
(aventura) de esas no debe ser nada fácil. Talvez lo que realmente
importa es tomar la decisión y pensar siempre que todo será para un
beneficio.

Como Andrés afirma: "Los errores le enseñan a uno a levantarse con
mucha más fuerza y emprender el camino del aprendizaje (...) pienso
que dar ayuda será la mejor forma de devolver lo aprendido y lo
obtenido, y lo más importante es transmitirlo a las personas que
posiblemente vendrán."

Dear Mr. Bush:

Any idea where all our helicopters are? It's Day 5 of
Hurricane Katrina and thousands remain stranded in New
Orleans and need to be airlifted. Where on earth could
you have misplaced all our military choppers? Do you
need help finding them? I once lost my car in a Sears
parking lot. Man, was that a drag.

Also, any idea where all our national guard soldiers
are? We could really use them right now for the type
of thing they signed up to do like helping with
national disasters. How come they weren't there to
begin with?

Last Thursday I was in south Florida and sat outside
while the eye of Hurricane Katrina passed over my
head. It was only a Category 1 then but it was pretty
nasty. Eleven people died and, as of today, there were
still homes without power. That night the weatherman
said this storm was on its way to New Orleans. That
was Thursday! Did anybody tell you? I know you didn't
want to interrupt your vacation and I know how you
don't like to get bad news. Plus, you had fundraisers
to go to and mothers of dead soldiers to ignore and
smear. You sure showed her!

I especially like how, the day after the hurricane,
instead of flying to Louisiana, you flew to San Diego
to party with your business peeps. Don't let people
criticize you for this -- after all, the hurricane was
over and what the heck could you do, put your finger
in the dike?

And don't listen to those who, in the coming days,
will reveal how you specifically reduced the Army
Corps of Engineers' budget for New Orleans this summer
for the third year in a row. You just tell them that
even if you hadn't cut the money to fix those levees,
there weren't going to be any Army engineers to fix
them anyway because you had a much more important
construction job for them -- BUILDING DEMOCRACY IN
IRAQ!

On Day 3, when you finally left your vacation home, I
have to say I was moved by how you had your Air Force
One pilot descend from the clouds as you flew over New
Orleans so you could catch a quick look of the
disaster. Hey, I know you couldn't stop and grab a
bullhorn and stand on some rubble and act like a
commander in chief. Been there done that.

There will be those who will try to politicize this
tragedy and try to use it against you. Just have your
people keep pointing that out. Respond to nothing.
Even those pesky scientists who predicted this would
happen because the water in the Gulf of Mexico is
getting hotter and hotter making a storm like this
inevitable. Ignore them and all their global warming
Chicken Littles. There is nothing unusual about a
hurricane that was so wide it would be like having one
F-4 tornado that stretched from New York to Cleveland.

No, Mr. Bush, you just stay the course. It's not your
fault that 30 percent of New Orleans lives in poverty
or that tens of thousands had no transportation to get
out of town. C'mon, they're black! I mean, it's not
like this happened to Kennebunkport. Can you imagine
leaving white people on their roofs for five days?
Don't make me laugh! Race has nothing -- NOTHING -- to
do with this!

You hang in there, Mr. Bush. Just try to find a few of
our Army helicopters and send them there. Pretend the
people of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast are near
Tikrit.

Yours,

Michael Moore

P.S. That annoying mother, Cindy Sheehan, is no longer
at your ranch. She and dozens of other relatives of
the Iraqi War dead are now driving across the country,
stopping in many cities along the way. Maybe you can
catch up with them
<http://www.bringthemhomenowtour.org/userdata_display.php?modin=50>
before they get to DC on September 21st.

Estimados colegas,

envío una felicitación bien grande a Ana María y a
muchos de ustedes y otros colombianos que quizás no
están acá en la red, pero que callados, con humildad y
con la dificultades propias de enfrentar un país con
lenguaje, cultura y casi todo diferente, han logrado
cosas grandes, cosas que la mayoría de los mismos
compatriotas ignoramos por el afán de la mayoría de
los medios de estar haciéndole propaganda y rindiendo
culto a lo foráneo cuando de cuestiones científicas se
trata.  Casos como el de Ana María conozco varios casi
de la misma magnitud con nombres propios,
compañeros(as) que han recibido tesis laureadas en las
mejores universidades del mundo, y han llegado al país
("Colombia"), y ni siquiera se ha hecho una mención de
honor en un periódico local o universitario...en esos
detalles de apoyo y reconocimiento también hay que
intentar cambiar y crecer...y precisamente si no
hubiera sido por estas listas de colombianos yo no
hubiera sabido de este logro.

La mejor de las suertes,

José L

Ana María Rey Ayala es una colombiana que ganó el premio a mejor tesis de doctorado en física de los Estados Unidos. Compitió con unas 400 personas para obtener este reconocimiento. Con tan solo 28 años, ya tiene su futuro asegurado en Harvard.

Entrevista.
Por María Lucía Tarazona, especial para Conexión Colombia

http://conexioncolombia2.terra.com.co/conexioncolombia/content/page.jsp?ID=6153

 

Conexión Colombia: ¿Porqué decide incursionar en un campo tan complejo como el de la Física?

Ana María Rey: Desde que estuve en el colegio me encantó la posibilidad de que una simple ecuación matemática pudiera describir cómo se comporta el mundo. Entonces supe que quería profundizar en la física para entender cosas más complejas del mundo. En el colegio me enseñaron que el camino más difícil a seguir es el que más satisfacción da cuando se alcanza. Esos dos factores, sumados al amor por la física, me impulsaron a ella.

C.C.: ¿Porqué decide inclinarse por la ciencia en un país en donde no se hace Ciencia?

A.M.R.: No pensé mucho en eso cuando tomé la decisión. Me gusta, independientemente de que se haga en el país o no. Nunca sentí una limitación acá, pues la ciencia fue muy buena en los Andes. Obviamente le falta mucho, pero eso es lo que tenemos que hacer nosotros: poner esa sem! illa para tratar de hacer contactos en el exterior. Colombia no tiene la plata para montar un laboratorio grandísimo, pero sí están las personas que pueden pensar y modelar un experimento.

C.C.: Cuéntenos de qué se trata su tesis, en términos sencillos

A.M.R.: Mi tema de tesis fue coger átomos muy fríos, comportándose de la misma manera, a los que se les aplica unas fuerza externa con láser. El resultado de estas fuerzas es que los átomos sienten como si estuvieran en una caja de huevos; eso se llama rejillas ópticas. Investigué el comportamiento de los átomos en esas rejillas.

El auge último de estos sistemas es que han sido propuestos para implementar un computador cuántico. Mi labor fue investigar cómo es la dinámica de esos átomos en esa transición de fase. El aporte fue describir y modelar - en términos sencillos - el comportamiento de esa transición de fase, que es bastante compleja.

C.C.: ¿Qué desc! ubrió a raíz de eso?

A.M.R.: En Física Atómica habían unas teorías estándares para describir la dinámica de los átomos. Lo que yo hice fue adoptar un mecanismo un poco más complejo y válido para describir la dinámica, sin usar las aproximaciones anteriores, que ya no son efectivas.

C.C.: ¿Cómo sería un computador cuántico?

A.M.R.: Hasta ahora se está inicializando. Hay una competencia mundial para ver cuál es el primer sistema que logra satisfacer los requerimientos para hacer un computador cuántico. Uno de sus atributos es que puede factorizar números grandísimos, que un clásico se tomaría largo tiempo en procesar. Esto es interesante porque en todos los sistemas de información, los códigos secretos se transmiten así; cuando una persona implemente el primer computador cuántico, va a tener acceso a toda la información. Por eso el gobierno de los Estados Unidos está invirtiendo tanto para su investigación.

C.C.: Una mujer que a los 28 años obtiene un reconocimiento de esa talla, ¿qué estaba haciendo a los 20?

A.M.R.: Entré a la 'Nena Cano' cuando tan sólo tenía tres años, entonces siempre he sido menor con respecto a los que cursaban el mismo nivel. Me gradué a los 16 años e ingresé a la Universidad de los Andes. A los 23, viajé a Estados Unidos a realizar mi doctorado en la Universidad de Maryland, el cual duró cuatro años gracias al trabajo que realicé en el Instituto Nacional de Estándares y Tecnología, NIS, donde me vinculé gracias a las becas recibidas en los Andes por tener el mejor promedio del departamento de Física. Recibí otra beca que me permitió investigar, al no tener que trabajar para sostenerme.

C.C.: En una entrevista que le hicieron usted explica cosas de gran complejidad con una sencillez admirable. ¿Cómo la consigue?

A.M.R.: Es una regla básica para las persona! s que estamos en Física, explicar cosas complejas en términos sencillos para que cualquier persona pueda entenderla. Una de las razones por las que recibí el premio fue porque expliqué todo en términos muy sencillos, siempre mostrando dibujos.

C.C.: ¿Cree que el reconocimiento que le han otorgado sienta un precedente en Colombia para aquellos que estudian Física?

A.M.R.: Muestra que la formación en Colombia sí es suficiente para recibir este tipo de premios. Creo que abre las puertas e invita a la gente a que se arriesgue. No es un imposible; simplemente hay que esforzarse. El nivel académico de aquí es muy bueno, lo que falta es motivación.

C.C.: ¿Le han llovido propuestas a raíz del premio? ¿A qué se quiere dedicar ahora?

A.M.R.: La Universidad de los Andes me ofreció a mi y a mi esposo venir a trabajar como docentes de planta. Nosotros ya tenemos el compromiso con Harvard. Me ofr! ecieron una beca por tres años para hacer estudios de investigación de posdoctorado en un centro compartido con Harvard llamado Instituto de Física Atómica y Molecular, ITAM. La idea es vincularme allá y establecer contactos para después volver a Colombia.

C.C.: ¿Cree que los medios en Colombia le dieron un despliegue proporcional a la magnitud del premio que recibió?

A.M.R.: Ha sido como raro. He recibido ese reconocimiento mucho más en Estados Unidos tal vez porque aquí no se conoce mucho de eso y es la primera vez que pasa. En EEUU fue muy distinto. Tengo el poster mío en el NIS, y en la página de Internet de la universidad aparezco yo. La revista de la American Physical Society publicó algo mío. En el periódico de los Andes sé que también aparecerá algo en agosto.

Applications are invited for a 3 year PhD student
position funded by
the
Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) under the Research
Frontier Program
(RFP).



Live cell imaging to study protein dynamics, protein
interactions, and
protein networks is one of the most challenging and
important areas of
life science research in the genomic and post-genomic
era. Multicolor
fluorescence imaging techniques combined with complex
computational
data
analyses will become essential technologies in
functional proteomics
research, since they allow measurements of protein
interactions and
their functional consequences in living cells at the
location where
they
normally occur. The need for these approaches
increases dramatically as
genomic and proteomic high-throughput approaches in
academia and also
in
the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry
accelerate the
identification of proteins involved in disease
processes. These
techniques are established in the Department of
Physiology and Medical
Physics and offer a unique opportunity in a field of
internationally
competitive science.

Applications are invited from candidates with a
background in cell
biology, biophysics, molecular biology or
biochemistry. Sound written
and communication skills and a high level of
motivation and commitment
are required.

In Christian Albrecht University Kiel haben wir
Doktorandenstelle
eroeffnet, 3 Jahre befristet, Bezahlung BAT/II, in
Bereich
Molecularbiologie.

Ziel unseres Projekts ist :"Molecular control of
apoptosis and the
significance of apoptosis dysfunction in cancer and
autoimmune
disease".



Apoptosis has only recently been recognised as a
fundamental process in
the biology of multi-cellular organisms. It allows
cell populations to
be controlled through the active self-destruction of
cells, so that
population size remains stable and the rate of cell
loss matches the
rate of cell production. Where this process of
cellular
self-destruction
is suppressed, cancer or auto-immune disease may
result. Our group is
working towards developing an understanding of this
process of cellular
self-destruction at the molecular level and using this
information to
examine the potentially serious pathological
consequences of breakdown
in the control of apoptosis.



Wir erwarten von Ihnen:

ein abgeschlossenes Studium in einem
naturwissenschaftlichen Fach,

fundierte Kenntnisse in molekularbiologischen und
zellbiologischen

Methoden, überdurchschnittliches Interesse an Apoptose
und
Tumorbiologie.

Ausser hoehere Organisationstalent und Kreativitaet,
Sie muessen faehig
sein Ideen zu Produzieren.

Tuebingen, Germany



PhD Studentship:



"Identification of susceptibility factors in Glaucoma"

funded by the sixth framework programme of the EU

Host Fellowships for Early Stage Research Training
(EST)





About the Project:

Glaucoma is a complex disease with a clear genetic
component probably
involving multiple genes (susceptibility genes) that
contribute to an
individuals risk to develop glaucoma. The impact of
the so far
identified disease-causing genes in monogenic forms of
glaucoma is low
on glaucoma as a whole. Therefore a case-control study
on normal
tension
glaucoma will be performed that focuses on the
analysis of genes
encoding proteins involved in energy metabolism,
mitochondrial function
and biogenesis and detoxification pathways. A tagSNP
based approach
will
be applied to assess and define the impact of common
gene variants at
the level of single genes and multiple gene
combinations on the risk to
develop glaucoma.



Research Methods:

Standard molecular genetic techniques, TaqMan assays,
genotyping and
haplotyping techniques, methods of association
genetics and statistical
analysis



Training:

The focus of this EST ("Neurotrain") lies on promoting
and improving
the
knowledge of neurodegeneration that will eventually
lead to prevention
and therapy using a multidisciplinary/intersectual
approach (network of
10 outstanding international research teams working on
various
neurodegenerative disorders).
There will be extensive training in both research and
transferable
skills in preparation for the broader requirements of
a scientific
career in academia, industry or alternative career
paths. A personal
development plan, lab rotations, complementary
training and yearly
2-week summer-schools (in London, Lund, or
Tuebingen/Munich) will be
part of the training.

The Molecular Genetics Laboratory of the University
Eye Hospital
Tuebingen is one of the leading centres for molecular
genetic and
functional studies on hereditary disorders of the
retina and the optic
nerve in Europe. It offers excellent training
opportunities in diverse
aspects of genetics and molecular biology applying
state-of-the-art
technologies in a stimulating research atmosphere.


Candidate profiles:

M.Sc. (or equivalent, e.g. M.D.) in Biology, Molecular
Genetics, Human
Genetics, or Biochemistry. We expect a candidate with
enthusiasm and
motivation in academic research. Practical knowledge
in molecular
biology, molecular genetics, and biostatistics is
advantageous.

Radiative transport in a cloudy atmosphere



The Institute for Chemistry and Dynamics of the
Geosphere (ICG I:
Stratosphere) of the Research Centre Juelich invites
applications for a
PhD position in the area modelling of radiative
transfer in the
presence
of clouds and aerosols.


Clouds play an integral role in many of the
atmospheric processes and
the formation, extent and fate of cirrus and
sub-visible cirrus are of
particular interest for climate forcing. As well as
direct effects of
scattering and absorption of solar and infra-red
radiation, aerosols
cause indirect effects by altering the cloud
formation, precipitation
efficiency and cloud albedo. Some of the largest
uncertainties in
climate-chemistry interactions are concerned with
cloud/aerosol effects
on chemical composition in the troposphere and lower
stratosphere.



The successful candidate will develop an extension of
the Juelich Rapid
Spectral Simulation Code (JURASSIC) for a better
representation of
clouds and aerosols in the radiative transport in the
infra-red.
A retrieval of typical cloud and aerosol parameter
shall be
implemented.
Approximation methods have to applied to restrict the
computation time
of the numerically time consuming radiative transport
(caused by the
need to consider scattering effects by the particles).
Recent
measurements by airborne (CRISTA-NF on Geophysika) and
satellite based
remote sensing instruments (MIPAS on ENVISAT) will be
analysed. The
developed methods have to be validated with existing
(“slow”) radiative
transport models in cooperation with research groups
in Germany and
England.


The Research Centre Juelich (
http://www.fz-juelich.de) is a
multidisciplinary centre with more than 4200 employees
working on a
broad spectrum of research topics. The
multidisciplinary orientation of
the centre represents an opportunity: Pressing
problems, such as
long-term environmentally compatible energy supply or
environmental
protection, can be dealt beyond individual disciplines
and have become
the basis for work at the centre. The Institute of
Chemistry and
Dynamics of the Geosphere (ICG-I) investigates
chemistry and dynamics
as
well as their coupling in the middle and upper
atmosphere. A remote
sensing group has been established at ICG-I that works
on satellite
data
and the evaluation of the measured data closely
interlinked with model
calculations.



The candidate should ideally have a scientific
background in
atmospheric
physics or chemistry and/or numerical simulation
techniques. An
academic
qualification like a German Diplom or a Master's
degree in the field of
physics, chemistry, mathematics, meteorology, or a
related discipline
is
required. Fluent English (written and spoken) and
experience in
programming is desired.



The position is offered for three years, with payment
according to a
civil service position (BAT IIa/2, about 18.000
Euros/year gross).
Women
are particularly encouraged to apply. In case of equal
personal
aptitudes and qualification disabled persons will be
given priority.
The
starting date is as soon as possible.

electronic form (pdf), to

Sie kritisieren darin unsere Berichterstattung an dem Beitrag über
Kolumbien und die dortigen Entführungen. Selbstverständlich sind wir
uns
der Problematik bewusst und wissen, welch großes Leid die Entführer
der
Guerilla über ihre Opfer und deren Familien bringen. Umso wichtiger
erschien uns zu zeigen, wie verantwortungslos manche Touristen mit
ihrem
Leben umgehen, die Gefahr geradezu herausfordern und das ganze dann
als
"Abenteuer" bezeichnen.
Denn dieses Verhalten unterstützt die Rebellen doch nur.

Der Moderator, Dietmar Ossenberg, wies in seiner Moderation sogar
ausdrücklich darauf hin, dass in Kolumbien alle sechs Stunden ein
Mensch
entführt wird. Weiterhin wurde sogar eine Warnung des
Außenministeriums
zitiert ("Es besteht landesweit eine ernst zu nehmende Gefahr von
Entführungen durch bewaffnete Gruppen und kriminelle Banden, die
häufig für
Lösegeld auch Ausländer als Geiseln festhalten - mitunter
jahrelang.").

Auch der Autor des Beitrages war nach seiner Rückkehr aus Kolumbien
fassungslos über den Leichtsinn und die Ignoranz mancher junger
Menschen.

Es lag uns sehr daran, mit unserer Berichterstattung das Verhalten
der
ausländischen Touristen in Kolumbien zu kritisieren, in keiner Weise
wurden die Gegebenheiten von uns verherrlicht oder verklärt
dargestellt.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Ihre Redaktion auslandsjournal

Ana,

yo tambien me inquiete cuando vi la documentacion sobre lo que tu mencionas
en tv aca en Alemania. Aunque, para tranquilizarte un poco, te digo que
conversando sobre el asunto con mis companeros alemanes de trabajo, a ellos
eso de irse a hacerse secuestrar tambien les parecio absurdo. No toda le
gente piensa como esos culicagados irresponsables que no tienen en cuenta
que el secuestro no solo es un asunto que los afecta a ellos mismos sino a
su familia que es la que sufre la incertidumbre y la que tiene que pagar el
rescate.

Saludos

Uriel

Hola a todos, colombianos en Alemania de los dos
nodos.
Recibí en estos días un artículo que quisiera
compartir con Uds. por lo absurdo de su contenido y la
cierta desfachatez o ignorancia de un grupo tan
conocido comop ZDF, para publicarlo.

Como si estar secuestrado en nuestro pais, fuera cosa
de adrenalina o de aventuras para vivir "alguna vez en
la vida". Como si no hubiera secuestrados que llevan
hasta 7 años en poder de grupos armados. Como si no
hubiera tantas familias sufriendo por su ausencia y
por la desolación de no saber en qué va a parar todo
esto.

Me parecio triste y absurdo que "culicados" de otros
paises piensen que eso es "una aventura" y mucho más
absurdo que sea publicado así. Po eso lo comparto con
Uds.

CONTROL OF PROGRAMMED CELL DEATH



A PhD position is available in the research group of
Prof. Michael
Lehmann at the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences,
University of
Arkansas, USA



The goal of the project is to characterize functions
of a novel gene in
the control of programmed cell death. The successful
candidate will use
the genetic model organism Drosophila to study the
gene’s role in
pathways that coordinate the control of apoptosis and

Functional Genomics



A PhD position (BAT IIa/2) is available immediately at
the Institute
for Biochemistry I, University of Cologne. The aim of
the project is the
genome-wide identification and analysis of
infection-regulated genes in
Dictyostelium discoideum using DNA-Microarrays and
Cell Biology.



The lower eukaryote D. discoideum can exist as single
celled amoeba and
as a multicellular organism and is a well-established
model organism
for the study of basic aspects of differentiation,
signal transduction,
phagocytosis, cytokinesis and cell motility.
Furthermore, it was shown
that the medically relevant infection of host cells by
pathogenic
microorganisms can be investigated with D. discoideum
as host and the
facultative intracellular parasite Legionella
pneumophila, that causes
Legionnaires’ disease.

The basis for our work are the completed Dictyostelium
genome and cDNA
projects (Eichinger et al., 2005. Nature, 435:43-57).
We use
DNA-microarrays, that cover approximately half of the
genome to investigate
differential gene expression of D. discoideum after
infection with L.
pneumophila. In a detailed analysis of the 24-hour
time point post-infection
131 differentially expressed D. discoideum genes were
identified that
are thought to be involved in the pathogenic response.
The successful
candidate will continue the bioinformatic and cell
biological analysis of
differentially regulated genes of the infection
experiments with L.
pneumophila and will also be involved in the
maintenance and improvement
of the microarray analysis pipeline.



Highly motivated individuals with a diploma or
equivalent degree in
molecular biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics or any
other related area
of modern biology and with interests in functional
genomics are welcome
to apply. Some experimental practice in one or several
of the following
domains is desirable: Bioinformatics (especially
experience with MS
Access and Visual Basic), molecular biology,
biochemistry, and facility
with computers.



Applications, together with CV and names and addresses
of two
references, should be sent to:

       PhD Student - Neuroscience

Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland







Neuroscience Research Centre & School of Pharmacy

This position offers an exciting opportunity in a rapidly growing area
of neuroscience. Neural stem cells are newly generated after cerebral
ischaemia, but evidence exists that the number of stem cells generated
as well as their ultimate fate is controlled by the process of neuronal
apoptosis. Little is known about how neurotherapeutics influence these
processes. The project will investigate the effect of NMDA receptor
modulation and polyamines on apoptosis activation and neurogenesis
following cerebral ischaemia in vitro and in vivo. The project will also
investigate neural stem cell fate and the effect of NMDA receptor
modulation in pro-apoptotic gene knock out mice available in the RCSI
Neuroscience Research Centre.

Applications are invited from candidates with a background in pharmacy,
pharmacology, physiology, biochemistry or neuroscience. Sound written
and communication skills and a high level of motivation and commitment
are required. Methods used in this project span a wide spectrum and
include: gene knock outs, genotyping, stroke models,
imunohistochemistry, behavioural testing, HPLC and biochemical techniques.

This project and close, responsible supervision will permit the student
to become internationally competitive in his/her field of research, to
directly work in close collaboration in an interdisciplinary and
international team of scientists and to gather a broad spectrum of
skills in a friendly environment. The candidate will have the
opportunity to participate in a structured and internationally renowned
3-year M.Res./Ph.D. program at the RCSI.

Applications should include CV and names and addresses of two referees
and be sent preferably by e-mail to bkirby@... or jprehn@...
