PhD Fellowship 2010 on Molecular and Cellular Effects of Swimming Exercise, School of Biology University of Barcelona

A 4-year PhD fellowship (FPI program) funded by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación from Spain is available. This fellowship is linked to a MICINN funded project (AGL2009-07006/ ACU) entitled “Physiological consequences of exercise in trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss): effects on muscle growth, immune system and reproduction (SWIMMING TROUT)”. The student will conduct studies that aim at describing the molecular and cellular effects of swimming exercise on skeletal muscle growth, the immune response and reproduction in the rainbow trout. The candidate will join the Molecular Physiology Group at the School of Biology, University of Barcelona , Spain , a dynamic research group led by Dr. Josep V. Planas that is currently composed of two postdoctoral researchers and three PhD students. In order to see the production and research orientation of Dr. Planas’s laboratory, please search PubMed/Web of Science using “planas jv” as querry.

[Europe] EMARO: The Erasmus Mundus Master Scholarship 2010 in Advanced Robotics

[Poland] Master, PhD, Postdoc Open Positions on Mechanistic aspects and spatial effects in cell signalling

Mechanistic aspects and spatial effects in cell signalling, within TEAM Programme sponsored by Foundation for Polish Science.

Concepts and objectives
The leading aim of the project is to identify and study the turning points in molecular pathways of immune response and cancer, in which the single cell fate, understood as a choice between apoptosis, senescence, proliferation, differentiation or cell cycle arrest, is decided. As a model molecular pathways we will consider these related to innate and adaptive immune response and cancer, in which we have expertise. The project will be realized both by means of numerical simulations and theoretical analysis.

[Europe] PhD and PostDoc Positions in Ecology at CREAM Project 2009

CREAM is a Marie Curie Initial Training Network, funded by the European Commission within the 7th Framework Programme and has started on September 1, 2009. CREAM includes 20 PhD (three years) and 3 postdoc (two years) projects. All projects are related to developing ecological models for the risk assessment of chemicals, primarily pesticides. Many projects include, or even focus on, empirical work.

We are looking now for candidates for CREAM’s 23 projects. Projects should start preferably on January 15, 2010, but earlier (or later) starts are possible. Deadline for applications is October 23.

[Poland] Master Scholarships in Nanoscience at AGH University of Science and Technology

3 scholarships are available at Faculty of Physics and Applied Computer Science AGH University of Science and Technology, Cracow, Poland in the group “Nanostructures on surfaces”. Master theses will focus on preparation and characterization of nanostructures for magnetic and catalytic applications. Experimental approaches will include advanced studies of complex systems ranging from flat epitaxial films with exposed surfaces and buried interfaces to nanosystems with lateral confinement, as for example nanowires and nanoclusters. The studied metal and oxide nanostructures will find forefront applications as model catalysts and elements of spintronic devices. Simultaneously numerical modelling will be performed.
