UK-Fife: Graduate Research Position, Cyanobacterial Comparative Genomics

2009-11-18T06:34:51Z

We are seeking applicants for a PhD position at the University of St
Andrews, Scotland. A successful applicant would receive funding to cover
fees and a stipend as outlined in 'Important Note on Funding', below.

* * * *

EVOLUTION AND FUNCTION OF CYANOBACTERIAL GENES AND GENOMES

Supervisors:
Dr Daniel Barker, University of St Andrews, and Professor Geoffrey Codd,
University of Dundee.

This project will improve knowledge of the evolution, metabolism,
ecotoxicological status and biotechnological potential of cyanobacteria
by the development and application of bioinformatics algorithms.
Cyanobacteria are a metabolically diverse group of photosynthetic
prokaryotes of global distribution. They play a crucial role in
biogeochemical cycles (oxygen, carbon, nitrogen), produce toxins which
present major health hazards to humans and animals, yet also contain
metabolites with therapeutic and biotechnological applications,
including biofuels. At least 48 cyanobacterial genomes have been
sequenced. However, the function of many of the genes in their genomes
remains unknown. This represents a major gap in biological knowledge
which would be difficult to fill by traditional approaches. We have
developed a comparative, bioinformatics procedure to delimit groups of
genes which are functionally linked, on the basis of correlated gain and
loss of those genes from genomes. This must be vastly improved, to also
model gene-phenotype and gene-environment interactions, and applied to
cyanobacteria. The project would involve research in computational
comparative genomics. Results will be of interest to researchers in
bioinformatics, environmental and health sciences and in biotechnology.

Informal enquiries to Daniel Barker, db60@...

Postdoctoral positions in neuroscience and Drosophila neurobiology

2009-11-10T13:16:14Z

Dear Bionet Staff,

Would you post the following ad of postdoct positions on your website?
Many thanks!

Postdoctoral Positions in Neuroscience and Drosophila Neurobiology

Department of Neurobiology, University of Massachusetts Medical School

Two NIH-funded postdoctoral positions are available to enthusiastic
young scientists, for the study of neural signaling events in both
mammalian and Drosophila systems.

Successful candidates will have the following choices of research
direction.

1) Human genetic studies implicate that a new Ca2+/Calmodulin-binding
transcription factor CAMTA1 suppresses brain tumorigenesis and
facilitate memory formation. We are planning to generate a knock-out
mouse from existing ES cells, and characterize the cellular mechanism of
CAMTA1 function using in vitro neuronal cultures.

2) By isolating new Drosophila mutants, we are studying how
abnormalities in the signaling and trafficking of rhodopsin, a
light-stimulated GPCR, lead to degeneration of photoreceptor neurons in
the fly eye.

3) Using Drosophila mutants to study functions and the underlying
mechanisms of visual glia.

Additional information on our researches can be found at the website:
http://www.umassmed.edu/neurobiology/faculty/li_hs.cfm
<http://www.umassmed.edu/neurobiology/faculty/li_hs.cfm> .

Ph.D. Assistanship Stable Isotope Plant Ecophysiology

2009-08-10T08:14:27Z

A Ph.D. Graduate Assistantship is available in the Department of
Biological Sciences at the
University of Alabama to work on an interdisciplinary project at
Toolik Lake Arctic Research Station (www.uaf.edu/toolik). The
student’s research interests should focus on application of stable
isotopes to plant ecophysiology, ecosystem physiology, or plant
ecology. The project will focus on developing a comprehensive
understanding of winter physiological processes for two tundra
ecosystems. The student will have the opportunity to interact with
scientists from the University
of Alabama, Florida International University and the Arctic LTER.
Working knowledge of stable
isotope ratio mass spectrometry is required and familiarity with LI-
COR photosynthetic and
Campbell Scientific equipments is a plus.

Northern latitudes are thought to be sequestering CO2 emitted from
anthropogenic activities.
However, the status of these ecosystems as a global sink of C in the
future hinges upon the
physiological responses of ecosystem components to changes in
climate. There is overwhelming
evidence for rapid climate change in the Arctic. Changes include the
physical environment,
changes in carbon balance, vegetation change. Furthermore, warming in
the high latitudes is
predicted to predominantly occur in the winter, and climate data
support that prediction.
However, the vast majority of research on tundra vegetation has
focused on physiological
processes during the short 2-3 month growing season, with only a
handful of studies of
physiological processes during the 9-10 month cold season. Although
the rates of these
processes are low, summed over the long cold season they are extremely
important. A
comprehensive understanding of cold-season physiological processes of
tundra vegetation is
critically needed given the large potential for further climate
changes in the Arctic.

This is a fully funded assistantship that includes: stipend, health
insurance, travel and living
accommodations during the research season at Toolik Lake. Interested
students should email
pdfs of 1) a current Curriculum Vita, 2) statement of research
interest, 3) names, phone number
and email addresses of three references as well as 4) an unofficial
copy of transcripts to Dr.
Behzad Mortazavi (bmortazavi@...).
