Phd Position in Molecular Biology
International PhD Programme European Molecular Biology Laboratory [EMBL]
The European Molecular Biology Laboratory [EMBL] is an international research organisation with its main laboratory in Heidelberg [Germany], and four outstations in Hinxton, [UK] [the European Bioinformatics Institute, EBI], Grenoble [France], Hamburg [Germany], and Monterotondo [Italy].
Post-Doctoral Position, Bio-Imaging lab, Department of Biomedical Sciences
The University of Antwerp is a knowledge centre with 3.600 co-workers that performs ground-breaking and innovative research of international standing. The university takes special care to ensure optimum support and supervision of students, and pays constant attention to educational innovation. The university is an autonomous pluralistic institution that is committed to the enhancement of an open, democratic and multicultural society, and it pursues an equal opportunities
Post-Doctoral Position in Cell Division and Cancer Biology
A postdoc position is open in the newly started group of Associate Professor Jakob Nilsson at BRIC, University of Copenhagen. Research in the group focuses on understanding how the spindle assembly checkpoint controls progression through mitosis and how this is deregulated in cancer cells.
Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship in Cell Biophysics
A post-doctoral position is open at the Institut Curie, Paris, France in the field of cell biophysics. The aim of this interdisciplinary project is to study the molecular and physical characteristics of 3D-growth of normal and cancer cells within elastic capsules. Hydrogel capsules will be made using microfluidic devices in collaboration with the group of J. Bibette (ESPCI, Paris). Visualization of tissue growth and quantification of the cellular response to elastic confinement will be performed using the state-of-the-art imaging facilities of the Institut Curie (Nikon imaging center). Cell lines will be obtained from the Department of Clinical Pathology of the Institut Curie.
Post-Doctoral Position vascular biology
Arterial diseases have engendered growing interest do their unfavorable impact on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The aim of my project is to identify the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of vascular diseases and to identify new therapeutic targets. Rho proteins (RhoA, Rac1…) appear as good candidates. Increasing evidence has accumulated to implicate over-activation of Rho proteins as a common component for the pathogenesis of several cardiovascular disorders including hypertension. Recently, genetic analyses suggested the involvement of Rac1 in human arterial risk and diseases.
