Post-doc Olanda (3 anni)- Bioinformatica - scadenza 16/11/07
Postdoctoral Researcher
(Noord-Holland), 38 hours per weekUniversity of Amsterdam,
Job description
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
‘The development of a knowledge base framework for biomedical information’
An important area of life sciences research involves the elucidation of molecular mechanisms underlying complex disorders. One challenge is the acquisition and integration of data, information and expert knowledge for specific biomedical domains or diseases. Progress in this area is determined by progress in the organization and integration of biomedical information and the development of methodologies to use this information. Information that is available for a specific biological system (e.g. pathway or organelle) or disorder and the relation between the two is neither easily accessible nor applicable by people who are not familiar with that biological system or disorder. Even domain experts may experience difficulties when retrieving and relating all pieces of information. Typically, the required information is not very well organized in a unified and standardized format but is scattered over biological and biomedical databases, basic textbooks, scientific literature and experts’ minds, and may be highly specific, heterogeneous, complex and voluminous.
The aim of the project is to develop a general framework to construct knowledge bases. We have developed a first prototype, which we used to build a peroxisome knowledge base. Information is represented by concept maps and the web ontology language (OWL), and graph-based navigation methods were implemented to browse the information.
This project is a collaboration with the Academic Medical Centre and focuses on the development of a knowledge base for specific biomedical domains, which integrates existing information and provides the functionalities for different types of application.
Requirements
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are looking for enthusiastic candidates who have a background preferably in bioinformatics and knowledge of or a clear affinity with molecular biology, biochemistry and biomedical sciences. Candidates should meet the following requirements:
• PhD in a relevant scientific discipline (e.g. bioinformatics).
• Experience with bioinformatics research.
• Excellent software development skills (Java, Java frameworks (J2E, JENA, AJAX), web applications, relational databases).
• Knowledge of HTML/XML/OWL, Protégé, Unix, biomedical ontologies.
• Sufficient social skills to perform optimally in a dynamic scientific team.
• Willingness to collaborate with colleagues from the AMC.
The postdoc’s tasks will be to:
• Further extend the content of the knowledge base in close collaboration with domain experts.
• Integrate biomedical ontologies and vocabularies with our current OWL models.
• Develop new functionalities and applications.
• Develop software that allows domain experts to enter and edit information that is in the knowledge base (in this, support will be provided by a scientific programmer).

Post doc Olanda (3 anni) - Elettrofisiologia/studio risposta stress - scadenza 16/11/07
Postdoctoral Researcher
(Noord-Holland), 38 hours per weekUniversity of Amsterdam,
Job description
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Project (funded by the NWO)
Following stress exposure, the rodent brain is exposed to elevated levels of corticosterone, catecholamines like noradrenaline, and neuropeptides. In concert these hormones enable the animal to face the challenge, adapt its behaviour and remember the information for future use. Until recently it was generally thought that noradrenaline and peptides are the main actors in the initial phase of the stress response, enhancing alertness, vigilance and attention. Corticosteroids were thought to be important later on, for normalization of brain activity and consolidation of the event, via a genomic pathway. Very recent data from our group, however, show that corticosteroids can also exert rapid non-genomic effects on hippocampal cell properties, via mineralocorticoid receptors in the membrane.
In this project we will investigate the physiological importance of these rapid corticosteroid effects. We propose that the membrane mineralocorticoid receptors are the only means for hippocampal cells to quickly and accurately translate fluctuations in hormone level into changes in electrical activity. We will then examine whether chronic stress (a known risk factor for major depression in humans) limits the potential of hippocampal cells to quickly translate hormone fluctuations into altered cell activity. Finally, we will test how activation of membrane mineralocorticoid receptors affects various stages of hippocampus-dependent learning.
The emphasis of this study will be on electrophysiological experiments in brain slices of mice. We will use in situ patch clamp recordings to measure the rapid effect of corticosterone on miniature excitatory post-synaptic currents (mEPSCs). Behavioural studies will be carried out in collaboration with the University of Leiden and UC Irvine USA.

Dottorato Olanda - signalling pathways/proteina G - scadenza 16/11/07
PhD student
(Noord-Holland), 38 hours per weekUniversity of Amsterdam,
Job description
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
‘Visualization of heterotrimeric G-protein mediated signalling pathways’
The Gq-PLCbeta signalling pathway plays an important role in the physiology of the brain and the heart. Our current knowledge on Gq mediated signalling is mainly derived from molecular biological and biochemical studies. These approaches do not allow the study of local signalling in the highly organized, differentiated cells of which the brain and heart are comprised. To understand the Gq-mediated signalling pathway in living cells we have tagged the components of the signalling pathway with fluorescent proteins. These fusion proteins will be used to study activation and interactions of Gq in living neuronal cells by fluorescence microscopy.
This research will use a variety of techniques, for example molecular biology (cloning), eukaryotic cell culture and advanced fluorescence microscopy (FRET, FRAP, TIRF).
Requirements
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Candidates should hold a Master’s in Biochemistry, Cell Biology or Medical Biology (or equivalent), have excellent communication skills and be highly motivated to conduct fundamental scientific research. Experience with fluorescence microscopy is a plus.

Research in the chemokine field has dramatically changed our understanding of leukocyte traffic in immune defence and disease, offering attractive perspectives for new therapeutic approaches in the treatment of chronic inflammation and infectious diseases. It is now generally accepted that leukocyte trafficking in homeostasis as well as in pathology is largely determined by the more than forty chemokines that are produced upon specific induction or constitutively expressed in virtually all tissues of the human body, in combination with the expression of almost twenty target receptors on all leukocyte subsets and on many tissue cells. Although much remains to be discovered, the receptor specificities of most chemokines, expression pattern of chemokine receptors, and the resulting immunologic activities are often known in intricate detail form numerous in vitro and in vivo studies.
While we thus understand well the effects of chemokines one by one, much less is known about the potential consequences of multiple and concomitant expression on leukocyte migration and function, even though a vast number of in situ experiments clearly documents the simultaneous expression of several or many chemokines at diverse target sites of leukocyte trafficking and homing. Our group has recently revealed the existence of additional regulatory mechanisms (antagonism and synergism) that apply under conditions of multiple and concomitant chemokine expression.

PhD Olanda - Biogeologia - scadenza 01/01/08
PhD researcher in Biogeology (1,0 fte)
(Utrecht), 38 hours per week
Utrecht University
Job description
PhD researcher in Biogeology
'Niche engineering and the evolution of biogeochemical cycles through time'
Modern marine environments are characterized by complex faunal communities living in the sediment with densities and diversities that vary depending on sediment type, availability of oxygen and organic matter load arriving at the sea bottom. Some species play an extraordinary role in creating suitable environments for other taxa to live in. These keystone species, for example deep burrowing lugworms, are regarded as niche engineers. Through geological history, origination of such niche engineers is hypothesized to have lead to sudden bursts in evolution of other infaunal taxa.
This program is integrated in the Darwin Center for Biogeology, and will be performed in close cooperation with the Microbial Ecology group at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW, Yerseke). The program has 2 projects, each project carried out by a PhD student.
Requirements
University Graduate
We are looking for a highly motivated individual with excellent communication skills who is interested in interdisciplinary research combining various fields of biogeology and a MSc in an appropriate field.
Additional information about the job:
Currently, we are looking for a candidate for the PhD position concerning the project: 'The effects of bioirrigation on benthic foraminifera'
The aim of this project is to study the effects of the presence of various types of niche engineers on the surrounding meiofauna, in particular the foraminiferal population, and on biogeochemical cycling. Bioturbation, burrow ventilation, bioirrigation and grazing are activities that may have a significant impact on the vertical distribution of benthic foraminifera in marine sediments. Alternatively, foraminifera seem to have a considerable impact on the bacterial population and, consequently, the biogeochemistry. The project will involve laboratory experiments with the coupled system biogeochemistry-bacteria-foraminifera in sediment cores with different imposed biogeochemical conditions, and with or without artificial bioirrigation. It also involves field sampling of marine sediments (Wadden Sea).
This project will be supported by ongoing modeling work within the research groups of Stratigraphy/Paleontology at Utrecht University and Microbial Ecology group at NIOO-KNAW.

Posizione per PhD in cancer biology ad Auckland
PhD Project
Title: The role of a recently discovered glucose-phosphorylating enzyme, ADP-dependent glucokinase, in cancer biology
Supervisors: Prof William R. Wilson, Dr Adam V. Patterson, University of Auckland
Advisor: Dr Ron Ronimus, AgResearch Ltd, Palmerston North
Applications are invited for a three year PhD scholarship, funded through a Royal Society of New Zealand Marsden Grant, to investigate the role of a novel human glucose phosphorylating enzyme, ADP-dependent glucokinase (ADP-GK), in tumour biology. The research project will test the hypothesis that this recently-discovered enzyme plays a key role in the priming of glucose metabolism under stress conditions (hypoxia and glucose deprivation) and thereby contributes to tumour cell survival. The critically important role of hypoxia and other microenvironmental stresses in tumour progression (invasion, metastasis and selection for a more malignant genotype), and in resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, makes this a timely study that is expected to attract considerable interest.
The experimental approach will include evaluation of the effects of hypoxia and low glucose (individually and together) on ADP-GK mRNA and protein expression in tumour cell lines. The role of ADP-GK on clonogenic cell survival under these stress conditions will be assessed by constructing cell lines that stably overexpress the enzyme, and by RNA interference (shRNA). This will include comparison with ATP-utilising glucose phosphorylating enzymes (hexokinases). Initial studies will focus on tissue culture models, but will be extended to in vivo tumour models using tetracycline-regulated shRNA cell lines. The project will provide broad skills in cellular and molecular biology in a cancer context.
The stipend for the scholarship is $25,000 pa, plus tuition fees, for three years with bench costs met by the Marsden Fund grant. Extension for a further 6 months is available through the University of Auckland. The start date for the position should preferably be within the period Jan-Mar 2008.
The project will be accommodated in the Auckland Cancer Society Research Centre, School of Medical Sciences, The University of Auckland (Grafton Campus), under the supervision of Professor Bill Wilson (wr.wilson (at) auckland.ac.nz) and Dr Adam Patterson (a.patterson (at) auckland.ac.nz). Dr Ron Ronimus (AgResearch, Palmerson North), who discovered the mammalian ADP-glucokinases, will act as an advisor. The project is part of a larger collaboration with Dr Ronimus which includes a second PhD project at Massey University (supervised by Drs Andrew Sutherland Smith and Kathyrn Stowell) to investigate the structural biology and post-translational modification of ADP-glucokinase. Regular interaction with the Palmerston North/Massey group will be an important part of the project.

PhD (Olanda) in veterinaria - riparazione tendini equini - scadenza 15/12/07 - non so se può interessare...
PhD-researcher in Tendon Research (1,0 fte)
(Utrecht), 38 hours per week
Utrecht University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine
Job description
The candidate will operate within a collaborative research project of the department of Equine Sciences of the Veterinary Faculty, research programme Tissue Repair, and of the department of Orthopaedics of the Erasmus MC, University Medical Center (Rotterdam). While stationed at the Veterinary Faculty, the candidate will frequently work in the lab in Rotterdam and in fact be part of both research groups.
The project:
Tendon lesions are a major clinical challenge worldwide in the equine industry and are increasingly recognised as important disorders in human medicine as well, often causing considerable disability by limiting employment, sport participation, and activities of daily living. Much research on tendon injury has been performed in horses, which was facilitated by the easy access to tissue from both sound and diseased horses and easy applicability of standardised (treadmill) exercise regimens in the equine species. Therefore, the horse is an excellent model for human tendon research, apart from being a target animal in itself.
In vitro experiments using cultures of equine or human tenocytes have been performed, but are of limited use as a model to study tendon repair because of the completely different biomechanical environment. The uni-axial tensile loading of tendons in their natural environment is a hallmark of tendon function that cannot be left unconsidered when studying tendon healing. The main objective of this PhD track is the development and validation of an ex vivo model for (equine) tendinosis that will allow the study of tendon repair and the possible influences thereon in a setting that closely resembles the physiological in vivo situation, thus enabling study of the reaction pattern of sound tendon (in terms of gene expression patterns and/or at the protein level) to physiological and supraphysiological tensile loads, and the assessment of the effects of proposed therapies on artificial and natural tendon lesions.
Requirements
University Graduate
The chosen candidate will have a medical, biomedical, biological or veterinary background. He or she has an evident interest in scientific research and preferably some experience in the area of tissue repair. Experience with horses is not a prerequisite, but may be an advantage. The candidate must be a dedicated 'team player' and be prepared to form part of and act as a liaison between two research groups.
