Postdoc position 2010/11-Copenhagen University-Denmark

The Department of Biology at The University of Copenhagen offers The Postdoc position in plasmid transfer and stability for the year 2010/11 in Denamrk

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is today recognized as being the most important factor for the rapid global dissemination of antimicrobial resistance. Plasmid-encoded antibiotic resistance giving rise to multi-resistance pathogenic bacteria may complicate the treatment of bacterial infections in humans. However, little is still known about the mechanisms controlling conjugal transfer and stability of resistance plasmids between different bacterial hosts. The postdoctoral position includes the study of various molecular mechanisms and factors (plasmid donors and recipients, plasmid host range, regulation of transfer genes etc.) favouring or minimizing horizontal gene transfer and plasmid stability in order to screen for compounds that can reduce plasmid-borne spread of antimicrobial resistance.


Position Details:

The work will include the construction and design of several fluorescence marker-based molecular reporter systems. In addition, the postdoctoral candidate will be expected to develop high throughput screening assays for measuring HGT and plasmid stability using flowcytometry.
The position is for 1,5 year and funded through a recently established “Anti-Resistance Center”. The project will be carried out at Section for Microbiology, Dept. of Biology, University of Copenhagen. The position is to be filled as soon as possible.

Eligibility:

We are looking for a skilled and competent molecular biologist with experience in DNA cloning, flow cytometry and DNA sequencing:

Ph.D. in microbiology, molecular biology or a similar degree
Documented experience within several gene-cloning techniques and molecular biology techniques in general.
Experience with transposon-based systems for random and site-specific mutagenesis is required.
It is preferred that the candidate has a good knowledge of plasmid biology, microbiology and bacterial genetics.
The candidate is required to have practical experience with flowcytometry and activated cell sorting (FACS).
Experience with 16S amplicon pyrosequencing is an advantage.
How to apply:

The application must contain:
Curriculum vitae
List of publications
Motivation for applying
Transcript of university examinations (in English)
Contact details of 2 persons for references An assessment committee will evaluate the applications.
The applicant will be notified of the composition of the committee. Each applicant will receive the part of the evaluation that concerns her/him. The main criterion for selection will be the research potential of the applicant. In addition experience with the effects of climate change on microbial processes in soil will be an advantage.

PhD Scholarship on Relativistic Electrons in Electric Discharges at Technical University of Denmark

PhD scholarship on RELATIVISTIC ELECTRONS IN ELECTRIC DISCHARGES is available at DTU Space, Copenhagen, with start date September 1st 2010, or as soon as possible thereafter.

The position, which is funded by The Danish Council for Independent Research | Natural Sciences, is related to a mission planned for the International Space Station: ‘The Atmosphere-Space Interactions Monitor’ (ASIM) for observations of extreme thunderstorms and their influence on the atmosphere. The project will study how electrons are accelerated to relativistic energies in electric discharges in the atmosphere. The question has been raised after the surprising observations from satellite of high-energy radiation from the atmosphere above powerful thunderstorms, and from lightning and laboratory discharges. The radiation is bremsstrahlung from electrons that are accelerated to unexpected high energies. The acceleration process is not well understood but is interesting because it influences the dynamics of the discharges and their effect on the atmosphere.

DTU Space has developed numerical methods to study the phenomenon with very high precision of the electron dynamics. These will be used to explore the conditions for electrons to reach high energies and their influence on the discharge dynamics. The simulations will be evaluated relative to measurements from laboratory experiments. The study will be conducted in collaboration with researchers at the Technical University of Eindhoven, Holland, and the Russian Federal Nuclear Center – VNIIEF, Sarov, Russia.

QUALIFICATIONS:

Candidates should have received a master’s degree in science or engineering, or a similar degree at an equivalent academic level, at the time of employment. A candidate is sought with good background in physics and numerical methods, and with a reasonable mastering of the English language.

APPLICATION:

We must have your online application by 28 June 2010. Go to: www.dtu.dk/English/About_DTU/vacancies.aspx and select the position advertisement. Then open the link ‘apply for this job online’ and fill in the application form and attach all material that should be given consideration in the assessment.

APPROVAL AND ENROLMENT:

The study will be under the DTU Space PhD network ‘Space Science and Technology’ www.space-phd.dk/English.aspx . The scholarships for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval, and the candidates will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes of DTU. For information about the requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies, go to www.dtu.dk/English/education/Phd_Education/PhD_guide.aspx.

SALARY AND APPOINTMENT TERMS:

The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current rules for PhD degree students. The study will be based on the DTU Space ‘South’ office, Juliane Maries Vej 30, close to downtown Copenhagen. The student will organizationally be under the Department of Solar System Physics.

Technical University Berlin, Germany. Institute of Optics and Atomic Physics, AG Laserspectroscopy

PhD position in Natural Sciences specializing in Physics: Surface-enhanced Raman sensor development for marine environmental applications.

Within the framework of the European Community Initial Training Network SENSEnet (www.eu-sensenet.net), we are seeking candidates for a PhD position with a background in experimental physics (diploma or master) or with knowledge in analytical chemistry, marine chemistry or sensor development in environmental science and technology.

The project aims to develop and test in-situ surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) instrumentation. One task focuses on the development and characterization of SERS active substrates and the other task is to build an underwater-system with improved laser and detection technology for long-term deployment. The system will be tested and deployed in cooperation with SENSEnet partners.

Based on the extensive experience of the laser spectroscopy group in marine research, the candidate will be enabled to apply recently developed microsystem laser sources for new in-situ Raman techniques in different spectral regions. This will allow the detection of e.g. organic pollutants in seawater with previously unmatched precision and sensitivity to be tested and verified. Moreover, novel detection approaches like using long optical fibers (length of several kilometers) for deep-sea investigations e.g. on the seafloor were recently applied at TU Berlin in preliminary tests and show great potential for further research.

France: PhD Scholarship in Applied Mathematics and Scientific Computing, FEMTO-ST, Besan?, FRANCE

France: PhD Scholarship in Applied Mathematics and Scientific Computing, FEMTO-ST, Besançon, FRANCE


Applications are invited for a three year PhD scholarship in the FEMTO-ST Institute (see www.femto-st.fr) and Laboratory of Mathematics both at Besançon FRANCE.

This Phd thesis will be dedicated to mathematical and numerical contributions in the fast growing area of Multiscale Modelling. More precisely, the candidate will establish a numerical method to implement a Multiscale Model of the wave equation that we have recently introduced. He will also extend the modelling, and the numerical implementation to other equations.

Our model relies on homogenization of the wave equation in a bounded periodic structure. Its presentation, its derivation and its mathematical justification are to be found in [1] and [2] for a short and an extended version respectively. Our technique is new and will lead to highly reduced computation time compared to direct simulation. We quote that there exists a strong need in many scientific and industrial areas to have reduced models for wave propagation phenomena in bounded domains.
