Postdoc - Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology

 
A Postdoctoral Position is available in the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Wright State University School of Medicine to study the DNA replication checkpoint and cell cycle regulation in Dr. Yong-jie Xu’s lab. 


The successful candidates will lead the research projects to investigate the molecular mechanism of the DNA replication checkpoint primarily in fission yeast, an established model organism for studying the cellular mechanisms that are conserved in humans. Our research utilizes a variety of techniques, including yeast genetics, protein biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, and genetic analysis. The ideal candidates will be highly motivated to both support ongoing research in the lab, and to work independently.


For more details about the research, please see https://people.wright.edu/yong-jie.xu. Recently graduated doctoral students in protein biochemistry, molecular/cell biology, or genetics are welcome to apply. Experience with yeast genetics is preferred but not required. Excellent working conditions and competitive salary will be provided. 


Please apply online at https://jobs.wright.edu/postings/19353. For informal inquiries or applications, email the cover letter and CV with three names of reference to Dr. Xu at yong-jie.xu@wright.edu. WSU is an AA/EO employer.

Microbiome-Enhanced Silicate Weathering

Cluster of Excellence Work Package:  WP 6.2 Duration of contract:  4 years  Planned starting date:  ASAP Place of work:  University of Vienna Main supervisor:  Petra Pjevac Supervision team:  Andreas Richter, Stephan Krämer, Peter Hinterdorfer, Thomas Böttcher Project description: The PhD Student will investigate the effect of soil microorganisms and mineral/rock preparations (type of rock powder, grain size, aggregation state) on enhanced silicate weathering rates and weathering product. Mineral bag experiments will be performed in situ on the field to investigation microbe-mineral interactions on the micro-scale, including weathering, secondary mineral formation, and depleted layer formation in relationship to microbial colonization, and to beneficial identify microbial consortia that enhance weathering. Experimental setups will include microbial cultures and agricultural soil microcosm, where effects of microbial colonization, inoculations...

PhD Fellowship in functional proteomics and tissue plasticity

The DNRF Center of Excellence,   Center for Functional Genomics and Tissue Plasticity (ATLAS) , at the University of Southern Denmark, invites applications for a PhD scholarship from outstanding candidates with a keen interest in applying mass spectrometry-based functional proteomics to understand the molecular and cellular basis underlying tissue plasticity. The position is available from 1 September 2024. The Center for Functional Genomics and Tissue Plasticity, ATLAS (Center Director Prof. Susanne Mandrup) aims to obtain system-level, mechanistic and cell type-resolved understanding of adipose and hepatic tissue plasticity in response to diet induced obesity and regression in mouse models; and to translate this for in-depth understanding of the functional changes in these human tissues in response to severe obesity and reversal. The center applies a combination of next generation sequencing-based approaches, mouse models, proteomics,  in vivo  targeting, computational ...
