POSTDOCTORAL POSITION: Kingston, Ontario, CANADA

A postdoctoral position is available in Prof. Susan P.C. Cole’s laboratory in the Division of Cancer Biology & Genetics in the Cancer Research Institute at Queen’s University (Kingston, Ontario, Canada) [ http://qcri.queensu.ca]

Research in the COLE laboratory focuses on the clinically important human MRP-related transporters that mediate ATP-dependent efflux of drugs and other organic anions, including several important signalling molecules. Ongoing projects include investigations of (i) the complex role of glutathione as a MRP1 substrate and modulator [Rothnie et al. 2008 Mol Pharmacol 74:1630]; (ii) structure/function relationships of MRP1 and ABCC4/MRP4 [Conseil et al. 2009 Mol Pharmacol 75:397; Maeno et al. 2009 Drug Metab Disp 37:1411]; and (iii) protein binding partners of MRP1 and ABCC4 [Hoque & Cole 2008 Cancer Res 68:4802]. Utilizing our access to state-of-the-art equipment, we employ a wide range of molecular, biochemical and cellular techniques, including mass spectrometry, site-directed mutagenesis, vesicular transport methods, confocal microscopy, etc.

Established in 1841, Queen’s is one of Canada’s leading universities with an international reputation for scholarship, research, and spirit. The University is located in Kingston in southeastern Ontario on the shores of Lake Ontario. Queen’s is the quintessential university community big enough to provide all the conveniences and advantages of a larger centre, but small enough for a high quality of life. Kingston is Canada’s 3rd best “place to live” in Canada according to a 2009 Canadian Business publication survey.

The position is available immediately for an initial period of 1 year with the possibility of renewal for up to 3 years.

Post-doc Chemistry, In Nice, France

Post-doc Chemistry, In Nice, France

A two-year postdoctoral position is available in the Ion Channel Genetics team at IPMC -

TIANP (UMR CNRS 6097) located at the Science faculty in Parc Varlose in Nice, south of

France ( http://ping.fm/HLMaz).

Subject: TASK K+ channel contribution in breathing adaptation to O2, CO2 and
pH changes

Context of the study


The chemosensitivity is an essential property of the respiratory system to permanently adapt

its activity to the needs of the body. Specialized sensors at the periphery (mainly carotid

bodies) and at the central level (specialized nuclei in the brainstem) are involved in

monitoring arterial blood CO2 and O2 pressures as well as pH. Defects of central

chemoreception are implicated in respiratory pathologies such as sleep apnea syndromes,

periodic breathing in high altitude and drug- or anesthesia-induced respiratory depression.

The congenital central hypoventilation syndrome is a severe hereditary form of central

breathing chemosensitivity in human. The brainstem topology of respiratory nuclei is

relatively well known. Yet, we don't precisely know what are the neurons directly involved in

chemosensitivity and even less the exact molecular identities of the chemoreceptors.

Background K+ channels (K2P) of the TASK family display functional characteristics

including pH and reactive oxygen species (ROS) sensitivities that make them good CO2 and

O2 sensors candidates.

In a recently published work, we have identified TASK2 as the molecular O2 sensor in

retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) and proposed that its activation by hypoxia generated ROS is

the mechanism by which central hypoxia-induced ventilatory depression takes place

(Gestreau et al 2010).

Objectives

The project is aimed at the characterization of the molecular mechanisms regulating the CO2

and O2 sensing in the brainstem and involved in the adaptation of breathing to the blood gases

relying on the unique model of TASK mutant mice.

We have produced mice invalidated for the three TASK channel genes task1 (kcnk3), task2

(kcnk5) and task3 (kcnk9) as well as double knockout task1-3 and task2-3. The postdoctoral

fellow will develop patch-clamp studies on brainstem slices from these mouse models.

Therefore, a good experience in electrophysiology, and possibly in electrophysiology on

slices would be greatly appreciated.

Job description: Friction stir welding (FSW) is currently a growing process of solid-state joining. Under development since a decade, its main advantage lies in the absence of intrinsic defects unavoidable in usual liquid-state joining processes. However, the mechanisms of formation of friction-stirred welds still remain largely unknown, due to the complexity of the underlying phenomena: (i) the strong spatial variations of the deformation and temperature fields, (ii) the nature and thermomechanical behaviour of materials and tools.
The fields of application of FSW are spreading towards the joining of different materials, especially those with strong chemical affinity, and the microstructural characterization of FSW beads between aluminium alloys and pure copper recently performed in our research group has evidenced the presence, probably detrimental, of intermetallic compounds at the interface. In particular, phases with stoichiometries AlnCup(Xq) - with X an addition element - not mentioned on the equilibrium phase diagrams Al-Cu(-X), have been detected with the nugget, a vortex zone mostly deformed by the process.
In this context, the proposed study, lying within a more general framework of interpretation of the physical phenomena involved in FSW, will aim at elucidating the origin and nature of the previously mentioned AlnCup(Xq) compounds, by means of coupling between experiments and atomic-scale modelling.
The first part of the work will consist in the elaboration of AlnCup(Xq) phases by mechanical alloying of a mixture of powders, followed by their characterization (crystal structure, thermal stability…) via complementary investigations relying on microscopy, calorimetry, X-ray diffraction… The results obtained through this alternative large-strain process will enable to precise and extend the thermomechanical conditions of formation and stability of the metastable compounds induced by FSW. In parallel, numerical simulations will be carried out in the case of a model binary alloy Al-Cu. These simulations, involving ab initio calculations followed by a cluster-expansion-based thermodynamic modelling, will aim at providing a semi-quantitative measurement of the degree of metastability of the concerned phases, leading to data relevant for an improved assessment of the phase diagram. As far as possible, these results, concerning a binary alloy, will be extended via the study of the influence of addition elements (mainly X=Si) on the stability of the intermetallic compounds detected.

Proposals must focus on very simple cropping systems research that can benefit smallholder farmers in developing countries, especially rural women farmers.

B. Participatory Research:
Applicants must use simple experiments executed by cooperating farmers under guidance by the researchers (see details about the location of individual on-farm experiments), and conduct their research with the active participation of the farmers, including women farmers. This requires that farmers be involved in all stages of the experiment on their land, including all the stages of land preparation, seeding, and harvesting.

Research proposals must include details of the comparisons envisioned between the traditional cropping practice of cooperating farmers and the side-by-side alternative cropping practice, which must include some type of leguminous crop or plant. Please consult the attached diagram that shows how a simple on-farm experiment might be compared to either one or two alternative cropping systems. Thus, experiments must compare crop yields from traditional unicrop practice with yields of the same crop combined with some kind of leguminous plant grown either simultaneously with the traditional crop, or perhaps in some cases, grown before the traditional crop is planted.

Similar experiments executed in rural school gardens, conducted with the help and advice of the Fellowship holder, and with the participation of both students and teachers, are also encouraged.

The research procedures must include extensive dissemination of the research results. Smallholder farmers, including rural women farmers, should be the major focus of such publicity:

a. The results should be presented in formats that can reach the various stakeholders, such as field days, farmer visits, briefs for policy-makers;
b. Dissemination will actively involve farmers, extension workers, local development initiatives, and agricultural organizations by addressing other smallholder farmers, especially rural women farmers;
c. The publicity should include farmers` visits and farmer-to-farmer teaching and learning.

The applicant must:
- Provide evidence that a large part, or all of the research, will be carried out on the farms of resource poor or smallholder farmers. The award will not support research carried out on the farms of large land holders or on research stations;
- Provide evidence that farmers will actively participate in the experiments. Thus, the development of simple on-farm experimental designs with appropriate controls to determine the practicality and profitability of introducing a leguminous crop in their cropping system is essential;
- Scholarship applicants must provide explanations of how they will make the frequent trips from the `home base` to the villages of the cooperating farmers. This is essential for successful execution of on-farm tests;
- Explain how the research data was collected and how the introduction of leguminous plants in their cropping systems is expected to improve the economic benefits to farmers;
Applicants should suggest anticipated benefits/improvements and sustainability of their proposal.

C. Sustainability:
The applicant must:
- Provide evidence that he/she is or will be supported by local institutions that have a good working relationship with target communities, farmers and/or extension agencies;
- Indicate that he/she will seek cooperation, help and support from the local `extension officers` and/or NGOs in the identification of individual farmers who are likely to be suitable and cooperative.

Duration
Award tenure corresponds with the period of field research. In general, this will be between eighteen months and twenty-four months.

Value
The value of the award is up to CA $30,000. If there is strong evidence of significant potential benefits, the award may be extended upon re-application.

Progress Reports
Fellowship holders will commit to provide IDRC with three brief progress reports per year.

Deadlines
October 1, 2010 (awards will be announced by mid-December 2010).

Tenure must be undertaken by December of the following year.

Please submit all documents listed in the List of Supporting Documents to be Submitted. Complete applications must be received at the Centre by the deadline. Incomplete applications will NOT be considered for the competition. Applications must be sent to the following address:

18 PhD positions, BioInterfaces Research, Karlsruhe, Germany

The BioInterfaces International Graduate School (BIF-IGS) provides the recruitment and training platform for the BioInterfaces Research Progamme at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany.
The BioInterfaces Programme brings together biologists, chemists, physicists, IT specialists, engineers, and material scientists with the common goal of controlling living systems, and bridges the gap between fundamental research and development of application-oriented technologies and products. The programme is tightly linked with the Universities of Karlsruhe and Heidelberg. In addition to offering the right of graduation, both Universities contribute scientifically to the BioInterfaces research school. While the University of Karlsruhe is more technically oriented, the University of Heidelberg has an emphasis on biomedical research and basic physics of surface interactions and microscopy.


Thus BIF-IGS offers outstanding graduate students education and training in trans- and multi-disciplinary research areas that allow students to prepare for future careers in professional fields such as health sciences, biotechnology, physics, chemistry and environmental science. Students will gain experience by working in a stimulating environment using state-of-the-art technology in an interdisciplinary context that promotes the ability of cross-frontier thinking. Laboratory work is supplemented by seminars, summer schools, training in soft skills and participation in international conferences.

Online registration/application is possible until June 30, 2010.
