Post-doc position in Developmental Biology Development and evolution of median fin in chordates

A post-doc position is available in the group of Sébastien DARRAS. The group has been recently established at the marine station of Banyuls-sur-mer. 

We are interested in the molecular control of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis embryogenesis.  Our focus is on gene networks involved in patterning and differentiation of larval tail epidermis that gives rise to peripheral sensory neurons and median fin blades. We want to use the diversity of basal marine chordate species (tunicates and cephalochordates) available at the marine station to probe the evolution of median fin formation.

The post-doctoral research project aims at comparing at genomic and functional levels the  same developmental process in multiple species. Strong background in developmental and molecular biology, as well as curiosity are required. Experience with non-conventional model organisms will be appreciated.

Funding  by  the  French  Research  Agency  (ANR)  is  avalaible immediately, but applicants are expected to apply for their own financial support.

Postdoc in Bordeaux-France

Postdoctoral positions in the Royou group

“Control and dynamics of cell division”

European Institute of Chemistry and Biology, 

CNRS, UMR5095, Bordeaux, France

Starting date: January 2013 or subject to negotiation

Duration: 3 years

Contact: a.royou@iecb.u-bordeaux.fr

Two post-doctoral positions funded by an ERC starting grant are available in Dr.  Anne Royouʼs group  (http://www.iecb.u-bordeaux.fr/index.php/fr/equipes/53-control-and-dynamics-of-cell-division)  at the European institute of Chemistry and Biology (IECB) (http://www.iecb.u-bordeaux.fr/).

The lab studies two axes relating to chromosome transmission during cell division using Drosophila as a model system. The first project explores the molecular mechanisms by which broken chromosomes are transmitted efficiently to daughter cells (Royou et a.,  Cell, 2010). The second project will provide insight into the mechanisms that coordinate  chromosome segregation with cell division (Montembault et al., JCB,  in press). The  candidate will work closely with other  team  members using complimentary approaches  including genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry and live imaging.

Candidates should hold a PhD and have a strong background in cell biology. We  are particularly interested in candidates who are familiar with the chromatin field. Expertise  in biophysics, microscopy, biochemistry or Drosophila genetics will also be welcomed.

The institute hosts young teams working in a multidisciplinary environment  at the  interface between Biology and Chemistry. The Royou group has access to cutting-edge  technology platforms available at IECB and the University of Bordeaux, providing state-ofthe-art mass spectrometry, structural biology and microscopy facilities.

Bordeaux is a dynamic city located in the South-West of France. It is 40 minutes from the nearest beach and surf spots, one hour from the Dordogne and 3 hours from the Pyrénées.

Candidates should send a  letter of motivation and a  CV including research  experience and a list of publications. Please also provide the name and contact details of  at least two referees.

1 post-doc and 2 PhD available in Amsterdam

Within a NWO (Dutch Science Foundation)-funded VIDI project I am looking for one post-doc and two PhD students. All positions are available from January 2013. The project is based at the Department of Pathology, Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam, and will be supervised by myself but tightly integrated into the groups of Prof. Mat Daemen and Prof. Esther Lutgens. All positions are funded for 4 years. The project focuses on the role of neutrophils in chronic inflammation with a specific emphasis of atherosclerosis. Methodologically, the project involves predominantly animal models of inflammation, specifically of leukocyte recruitment. Hence, applicants should have experience with handling of animals and possibly hold a certificate for animal experimentation.

Applicants should have a good knowledge in physiology, inflammation, and immunology. Post-docs should have a PhD degree in a relevant field. Applicants should be self-motivated, enthusiastic, a quick learner, a good teamplayer and have effective communication skills.                                              .

Farzan Nadim ofrece una posición posdoctoral en el Departamento de Mathematical Sciences de la Rutgers University.
Farzan es un científico brillante y una gran persona.

  We seek a postdoctoral research associate to join an NIH funded project at the Federated Department of Biological Sciences NJIT/Rutgers-Newark on the role of preferred frequencies of neurons and synapses in producing network oscillations. Neuromodulators shape the activity of all neural networks by modifying properties of neurons and synapses. Yet only in a few model systems it is possible to connect changes at the cellular level to novel network outputs. This project combines experimental recordings and computational analysis. Experimental recordings involve electrophysiology to record CPG neurons in the crab stomatogastric nervous system to characterize frequency-dependent properties of neurons and synapses and their modification by neuromodulators. These measurements will be used to fit existing and new models of network activity with the goal of understanding the dynamic process of shaping network oscillations by neuromodulators.
Please send CV, cover letter and two letters of reference to Farzan Nadim at farzan@andromeda.rutgers.edu.
