PhD positions are available to join multidisciplinary research efforts that focus on the morphogenesis of cross-striated muscle as a paradigm for macromolecular assembly. We are integrated into international research groups that include experts in structural biology, molecular biophysics, biochemistry, cell biology, physiology and medicine. In this context, our lab focuses on the elucidation of signaling pathways that regulate protein localization, dynamics and interactions in muscle cells.

Applicants should hold a degree in molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry or a related discipline, and they should have experience in at least one of the following methodologies:
- microscopical analysis of protein dynamics and interactions (FRAP, BiFC, ...),
- gene cloning and expression/knockdown techniques,
- protein expression and interaction analyses.

Job description:
The research topic will be the use of stable oxygen isotopes in phosphate as novel tracers for biogeochemical P cycling in the soil and plant system. Phosphorus is an important nutrient, but it lacks multiple stable isotopes. The use of oxygen isotopes provides a promising tool to trace P sources and transformations in natural ecosystems. The PhD project will mainly perform laboratory-based experiments, involving microbial cultures and enzymatic assays, to characterize some of the microbiological processes influencing P cycling and the isotope signature of the most important P organic sources. The project will use the state-of-the-art facilities of the Plant Nutrition Group and Stable Isotope Laboratory at ETH Zurich.

An opportunity has arisen for the fixed-term position of Research Fellow in the Department of Physiology. The appointment is full-time for a period of 36 months, funded by the Marsden Fund of the Royal Society of New Zealand.

The successful applicant will lead a research project under the direction of Dr Colin Brown and Prof David Grattan in the Centre for Neuroendocrinology at the Otago School of Medical Sciences (see http://www.otago.ac.nz/neuroendocrinology/). The project will investigate prolactin regulation of oxytocin neurons in reproduction and will combine electrophysiology and immunohistochemistry with whole animal physiology and behaviour.

Applicants should hold a minimum qualification of a Ph.D. or equivalent. Experience in a research laboratory using electrophysiology would be an advantage but training will be provided in all techniques required.

“Integrated modelling of land-use changes at rainforest margins in Indonesia”

Starting date
As soon as possible.

Rationale
The project will investigate the ecological and socio-economic trade-offs at the rainforest margin under land-use change. Previous insights (e.g., Steffan-Dewenter et al. 2007 ) will be extended using dynamic modelling techniques. Based on a large and long-term data set, ecological and socio-economic model components will be developed from scratch that simulate the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use (rainforest, agriculture) and individual households. Combined model analyses will investigate trade-offs in biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and household income.

University Hospital Aachen - Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology

Project: Recognition of intestinal commensals by regulatory and effector T cells.

PhD position in life sciences (TV-L E13/50%) available in the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology , University Hospital Aachen from October/November 2010. The position is funded by the DFG (German research foundation) for three years.
Tolerance to food antigens and commensal bacteria is of pivotal importance to maintain immunological homeostasis in the intestine. Disturbance of tolerance leads to food allergies and inflammatory bowel diseases. We seek to study antigen-specific T cell responses towards floral bacteria and plan to analyse whether the strain specific nature of different commensals is critical for effector T cell vs. regulatory T cell induction.
