The Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour currently has an opening for a PhD student in the project 'The edges of filling-in'. Starting with meaningless patches of light, the retinal image is rapidly transformed into a rich experienced environment. During this visual process, our brain appe . . . → Read More: PhD studentship in psychology/neuroscience 2010 @ Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherland

We are looking for candidates with a master degree in Neuroscience, (Medical) Biology or Cell Biology. Experience with molecular and cellular techniques is a prerequisite. Animal experience (art. 9) is an advantage. We expect a strong motivation to pursue a scientific career. . . . → Read More: PhD degree in Neuroscience/Medical/Cell Biology 2010 @ VU medisch centrum, Netherland

We will assess the photochemical reaction mechanism and resulting local structural perturbations with ultrafast vibrational spectroscopy, in particular femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS) and ultrafast infrared spectroscopy. The ensuing stages of the light-triggered chain of structural dynamics, i.e. the signal propagation to the molecular surface and alterations of the molecular surface of the BLUF receptor that enable the signaling function will be assessed by nanosecond to millisecond time-resolved FTIR spectroscopy., i.e. 'step-scan' and 'rapid scan' FTIR spectroscopy. For sample material, isotope labeling and molecular biology of BLUF domains, a long-term collaboration exists with Peter Hegema . . . → Read More: PhD position in Biophysics 2010 @ VU University Amsterdam, Netherland

The main focus of the project will be the molecular pathways that control differentiation and de-differentiation of myelinating cells, and the analysis of how these processes control regeneration and functional recovery of injured nerves. The work will employ standard methods of molecular biology, biochemistry and cell biology to analyse normal and genetically modified cells in vitro, and mouse lines. . . . → Read More: Research Assistant post in Cell/Developmental Biology 2010 @ University College London, UK

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a quantitative researcher in the field of malaria genetic epidemiology. Malaria is one of the leading causes of childhood mortality worldwide, causing more than one million deaths per annum.

In recent years considerable effort has been made to understand the central role of transport proteins in determining both drug disposition, drug efficacy and drug safety. This has been due primarily to the lack of suitable experimental models to investigate renal drug transports in intact cells. . . . → Read More: BBSRC Case MRes/PhD Studentship 2010 @ Institute for Cell and Molecular Biosciences, UK
