PhD position in Regulation of Ion Channels In Carginogenesis, Nice, France

PhD position in Regulation of Ion Channels In Carginogenesis, Nice, France


REGULATION OF ION CHANNELS IN CARCINOGENESIS



PhD position (CNRS/PACA funding) available from September 2010 in the Institute of

Developmental Biology and Cancer (UNSA CNRS UMR 6543), in the group of Dr Franck

Borgese at the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis / CNRS, Nice, France.



Thesis supervisor: Dr Olivier Soriani

Our project will focus on the regulation of ion channels involved in cancer cell behaviour (apoptosis resistance, extra cellular matrix adhesion and degradation,

motility, proliferation). Recently, we have demonstrated that a unique tumour biomarker, the sigma-1 receptor (Sig1R), was functionally associated to Cl- and K+ channels in lung cancer and leukaemia cells. We have shown that the over-expression of Sig1R in cancer cells enhances cell apoptotic resistance through a decrease of volume-regulated Cl- channels activation kinetics (Renaudo et al., 2007; Le Guennec et al., 2008). Moreover, exogenous sigma ligands inhibit cell cycle through a K+ channel / p27kip1-dependent pathway (Renaudo et al. 2004).



The project will deal on the molecular mechanisms associating the Sig1R to ion channels aberrantly expressed in leukaemia and breast cancer cells, in relation to their aggressiveness state. Finally, in vivo significance of the described mechanisms will be explored in a mouse metastatic model.



Main technical approaches: Molecular cell biology, genetics, microscopy imagery and

electrophysiology (patch-clamp).



We are seeking highly talented and self-motivated candidates. A background in the field of electrophysiology and cell physiology will be appreciated. The position

will be available on September 2010.



Candidates are invited to obtain application forms from soriani@unice.fr or borgese@unice.fr



Application deadline: Friday 30th April. Provisional date for auditions of short listed candidates: Monday 17th May

fMRI is a fast developing technique that permits addressing core questions in cognitive neuroscience in the human brain. The future of this technique resides in pushing hardware to permit ultra-high field scanning at superior spatial resolution, developing advanced data analysis, and combining the technique with other approaches, including EEG, TMS, PET, as well as pharmacology and molecular biology. These goals are pursued by a consortium of 4 partners consisting of Maastricht University (Brain Imaging Centre), Research Centre Juelich (MR Physics), University of Liege (Cyclotron Research Centre) and Glaxo-Smith- Kline (Clinical Imaging Centre London). Funding comes from a Marie-Curie Initial Training Network grant.



Description

To advance research goals at the consortium, we are looking for applicants who (1) show a drive to investigate a core question in cognitive neuroscience which can be theoretical (e.g., perception, attention, memory) or more clinical in nature (e.g., dementia, neurofeedback in locked-in patients); (2) are motivated to use and/or help engineer cutting-edge methods of data acquisition (physics) and data analysis; (3) enjoy the (technical) challenges of working in an integrative, multidisciplinary environment. Relevant backgrounds include engineering, physics, mathematics, advanced statistics and data analysis, molecular biology, software programming, computational modelling, and cognitive neuroscience. The ideal candidate combines skills from several of these disciplines.



We offer a unique, integrative research environment where world-leading scientists will integrate accepted applicants into their research teams. A 1.5y training programme has been set up to offer additional, high-level training in all domains relevant for the research (for an overview of all offered courses:

Fakhrinur Huseynli Master on Peace and Conflict Transformation

Fakhrinur Huseynli Master on Peace and Conflict Transformation




MAS Master of Advanced Studies in Peace and Conflict Transformation


Degree

This Masters program is accredited by the University of Basel, which will also issue the degree. The title "Master of Advanced Studies" is internationally recognized.



Content

The Master of Advanced Studies in Peace and Conflict Transformation is concerned with the various forms and conditions of peace as well as the obstacles to them. Peace means the absence of war, and much more. Galtung introduced the distinction between direct, structural and cultural violence. Direct violence means hurting and killing; structural violence is the slow death from hunger and preventable or curable diseases caused by extreme inequality and political oppression; and cultural violence consists of the justification of direct and structural violence in education, the media, literature and art, in the form of nationalism, racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination and prejudice. Peace means the absence of those three forms of violence and includes measures both to alleviate and heal past violence as well as to prevent future violence.



This program explores all of these aspects of peace. Its objective is to enable the participants to play an active role in peaceful conflict transformation and in creating a culture of peace. In addition to conveying theoretical knowledge and practical skills for peace work, our program emphasizes also the personal development of the participants. They learn to analyze conflicts, to make prognoses, and to design and implement creative solutions. They learn to detect growing tensions early and know methods to deescalate conflicts and prevent violence. They learn how to mediate between conflict parties and how to encourage conciliation after violence. They learn how to promote peace and development through education and action, and how to facilitate intercultural understanding and cooperation.



Course Format

The educational concept combines interdisciplinary peace research with the teaching of constructive conflict transformation, the practical experience of multicultural coexistence and the development of personal competencies for peace.



The study is divided into 10 modules, addressing the following topics: (1) Introduction to the Methodology of Peace Research; (2) Conflict Transformation and Peacebuilding; (3) Regional Conflicts and Field Work; (4) International Relations and International Law; (5) From National to Human Security; (6) Peace Education and Ethics; (7) Human Rights, Gender and Democratization; (8) Sustainable Development and Its Contributions to Peace; (9) Peace Culture and the Media; (10) Development of Key Competencies for Peace Workers.



During the 9 months fulltime study period, the students will learn and work together, building a multi-cultural community. Such a unique learning situation will enable the participants to train in everyday situations what needs to be realized on a global scale: mutual understanding, tolerance, cooperation and the willingness to learn from each other.



The total workload (including thesis) comprises 2100 hours, equivalent to 70 credits according to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). It includes lectures, seminars, exercises, presentations, simulations, group activities, excursions, self-study, library research and writing papers. Students write an MAS thesis on a relevant topic of their choice, under the guidance of a faculty member. After successfully completing the course, the participants are awarded the accredited degree of Master of Advanced Studies in Peace and Conflict Transformation, issued by the University of Basel.



The World Peace Academy will consider accepting students wishing to complete their MAS in a longer period of time and/or those wishing to have previously obtained graduate level credits recognized and counting towards their MAS diploma. This is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Please click here for more information.



Fees

CHF 15'000 course fees, including thesis supervision.



Rooms in the Student House (500 CHF per month), meals and health-accident insurance are at the students' expenses.



Intended Audience

Students from all over the world, from any discipline interested in peace and conflict resolution, including young diplomats, government officials, NGO members, teachers, journalists, lawyers, social workers, officers, psychologists, artists, and anyone interested in solving conflicts by peaceful means.



Requirements

A first university degree (bachelors or equivalent) is required, or equivalent professional experience.

Applicants should have good knowledge of English both written and oral. Expected is a level of English that is usually acquired by studying for at least one year in an English speaking country.

Scholarships will be sought to invite participants from crisis and conflict areas.



Academic Directors

Prof. Dr. Ueli Mäder, Institute for Sociology, University of Basel

Prof. Dr. Dietrich Fischer, World Peace Academy and Transcend Peace University

Catherine Brunner Dubey, MA in Peace and Conflict Studies, World Peace Academy



Teaching Staff

Professors and experts from the University of Basel, and from Institutions on every continent. We invite the best specialists in their field from around the world, including Johan Galtung, founder of the academic discipline of peace studies.
