Molecular Biology PhD position - Barcelona

2011-11-01T10:58:00.000+05:30

There is an opening for a graduate student to develop a PhD thesis project under the supervision of
Joaquim Roca at the DNA Topology Lab of the Molecular Biology Institute of Barcelona (IBMBCSIC).
The research project will examine the implication of DNA topoisomerase II in the formation and
resolution of DNA knots in yeast cells. Topoisomerase II is an essential and highly conserved
enzyme since it resolves the topological problems of DNA arising during transcription, replication
and chromosome segregation. The plausible role of topoisomerase II to modulate the degree of
DNA knotting in vivo had not been so far investigated, and it might have deep implications for local
chromatin architecture and global chromosome structure of eukaryotes.

Candidates should possess B.Sc./M.Sc. in Life Sciences (biology, biomedicine, biochemistry or
similar) obtained after January 1st 2008. The minimal academic requirement is an average mark of
1.6 according to the Spanish rating system. Candidates from EU-member states can also apply. In
these cases, they should check the conversion of their academic marks as indicated by the Spanish
Ministry of Science and Innovation (MICINN).

Interested candidates should send their CV and arrange an interview with Joaquim Roca before
December 2011. A short list of preselected candidates will be asked to apply for the FPI grant
(“Formación de Personal Investigador”) assigned to the Project BFU2011-23851 from MICINN. The
call is expected to be published by the end of 2011/beginning of 2012 and the start of the fellowship
should be in summer-fall of 2012. The total period of the grant will be 48 months (2-year fellowship
plus 2-year contract).

Postdoc Opening in Radiation Biology with Auger Electron Emitters

2011-10-28T12:24:00.000+05:30

A two years Postdoc position in the area of Experimental Radiation Biology will be available starting 1 January 2012 or soon thereafter. This new position is part of a larger project at the Hevesy Lab at Risø, DTU (Technical University of Denmark) focused on development of radionuclide cancer therapy based on Auger Electron emitters.

Job description
DTU wishes to setup a new method for experimental verification of the (often unknown) relative biological effectiveness of Auger emitters when decaying inside the cell nucleus of proliferating cancer cells. We have built a new lab for this specific purpose, focusing on cellular scale microinjections of radioactivity in individual cancer cells in culture.

For this, DTU needs a devoted experimental scientist. The work area is interdisciplinary, and we are very open to the educational, scientific or occupational background of the applicants. This new field straddles nuclear and atomic physics, radiochemistry, cell biology and radiation biology. Candidates with hands on experience from microinjections, cancer cell cultures, evaluation of radiation damage at DNA level or similar are highly encouraged to apply.

The Postdoc will work in close collaboration with our professor Mikael Jensen and the Hevesy Lab. group. The group has already experience with several of the involved methods, but the successful combination of quantitative microinjections of radioactivity with microscopic DNA damage readout is a totally new tool. If successful, the experimental method will have great impact on the future of internal dosimetry in general, and much further experimental work is expected.

Qualifications
A candidate must have a relevant PhD degree or equivalent and preferably some years of experience in experimental research. Emphasis will be placed on the candidate’s research potential and commitment concerning the actual project.

You will become part of a young and devoted group (22 people at present) of radiation researchers in the Hevesy Lab. They develop and supply cutting edge radiopharmaceuticals for both biomedical research and for routine use in diagnosis and therapy.

Salary and terms of employment
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Confederation of Professional Associations. The period of employment is two years. The place of work will be Risø DTU in Roskilde.

Applications
DTU must have your online application in English by 1 November 2011. Please open the “apply online” and fill in the application form and attach your application, CV, diploma and a list of publications. Applications should be submitted in English.

Applications and enclosures received after the deadline will not be considered.

All interested candidates irrespective of age, gender, disability, race, religion or ethnic background are encouraged to apply.
