Postdoctoral Positions in Breast and Ovarian Cancer, Philadelphia

/ February 3, 2011 Leave a Comment

Two Postdoctoral positions are available immediately. The projects are supported by NIH/NCI (R01CA142776, 2010-2015; and Ovarian Cancer SPORE program, 2009-2014) and US Department of Defense (Breast Cancer Program, 2010-2011). My laboratory has a major focus on the cancer genome (microRNA alterations, PNAS 2006, Cancer Research 2008 and PNAS 2008), host-tumor interaction (Nature Cell Biol. 2009 and Cancer Research 2010), cancer stem cells (JBC 2010) as well as cancer biological therapy (New Eng. J. Med. 2003 and Nature Med. 2004) of ovarian and breast cancers. The projects will focus on: 1) miRNA deregulation and function in ovarian and breast cancers; 2) somatic and cancer stem cells; and 3) development genetic model (transgenic and knock-out) for epithelial ovarian cancer. We are seeking candidates who are self motivated and career-oriented to join an exciting highly interactive research team.

Postdoctoral Positions at MAXlab, Sweden: Synchrotron X-ray techniques to study in-situ some of the fundamental steps involved in several oxidative processes.

/ February 2, 2011 Leave a Comment

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position as part of a Swedish funded research program, which aims at applying synchrotron X-ray techniques to study in-situ some of the fundamental steps involved in several oxidative processes. The task will be to design, assemble and test electrochemical cells suited to the demands of a particular experiment. Demonstrated practical experience with electrochemical equipment and knowledge of the X-ray absorption technique are necessary.

Eligibility requires a PhD degree in physics, chemistry, chemical engineering or materials science awarded not more than 5 years before the application date.
The MAX-laboratory is a Swedish National Laboratory in Lund, Sweden. It presently consists of three electron storage rings and provides photons from IR up to the hard X-ray regime, serving 800 scientists a year.

The Kulture Klub Collaborative Artist Fellowships Positions in New york Foundation Organization, UK

/ February 2, 2011 Leave a Comment

The College wishes to recruit an Associate Research Fellow to work on improving the understanding of interactions between hydrology, physical processes and land surface and vegetation feedbacks with a view to constraining predictions of future changes. The post is part of the HYDRA project funded under the NERC Changing Water Cycle programme and is available immediately for a fixed term period of three years.

HYDRA is a collaboration between Exeter Climate Systems at the University of Exeter, climateprediction.net at the University of Oxford, the UK Met Office Hadley Centre and CEH Wallingford. The successful applicant will work closely with Professor Peter Cox, Dr Hugo Lambert and Dr Ben Booth and will be 50% based at the UK Met Office.

The project will produce new sets of General Circulation Model (GCM) experiments that explore uncertainties associated with model formulation that influence hydrology. The simulations will be run under the climateprediction.net distributed computing architecture. The successful applicant will help to set-up and run some of the experiments and then analyse model data and observations to explore processes controlling changes the hydrological and carbon cycles. The fellow will have considerable latitude to pursue avenues in which they are interested.

Applicants must possess a PhD in climate science or a related discipline and have an interest in understanding large-scale changes in the climate system. Applicants will have the potential to carry out creative and independent research, and to publish in the peer-reviewed literature. Experience of working with complex numerical models, particularly Met Office Hadley Centre GCMs, would be an advantage.

The starting salary will be from £24,273 to £26,523 pa on Grade E, depending on knowledge, skills and experience.
Please note the University is unable to apply for a Tier 2 Certificate of Sponsorship for this post.

The University of Exeter is an equal opportunity employer and promotes diversity in its workforce and, whilst all applicants will be judged on merit alone, is particularly keen to consider applications from groups currently underrepresented in the workforce.

Application Deadline: February 11th 2011
