Scholarships for Postdoctoral Research in Erythropoiesis and Iron Metabolism in Cochin Institute, France

Sam — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 01:48:04 +0000

Cochin Institute offers Postdoctoral Research Scholarships in Erythropoiesis and Iron Metabolism funded by Ligue nationale contre le cancer, France Scholarships 2011

Study Subject(s): Erythropoiesis and Iron Metabolism
College Scholarships Level: Postdoctoral
Scholarship Provider: Ligue nationale contre le cancer
Scholarships can be taken at: France

Eligibility: -The Postdoctoral scientist will identify the external inducers for GDF-15 secretion and the transcription factors involved in GDF-15 production in erythroblasts.
-He/she will also determine the role of GDF-15 in erythropoiesis and iron metabolism connexion.
-The candidate will benefit from all the technical platforms facilities at the Institute Cochin.

International Scholarships for Students: No

Scholarship Description: We recently described that Transferrin Receptor 2 (TfR2) is expressed in erythroblasts. We show that TfR2 associates with the receptor of erythropoietin (Epo) the main regulator of erythropoïesis. TfR2 is an escort protein for the EpoR cell surface expression and is regulating differentiation, showing thus a new function for TfR2. The role of TfR2 was indeed only described in hepatocytes where TfR2 is implicated in iron metabolism via hepcidin expression regulation. Furthermore we demonstrated that Tfr2 and Epo are crucial for the secretion of GDF-15 by erythroblasts. GDF-15 was identified as a hepcidin-suppression factor highly expressed by erythroblasts from patients with ineffective erythropoiesis, like b-thalassemic patients. GDF- 15 is also overexpressed in tumors but its role in non pathological condition is not known.

Scholarship Application Deadline: September 12th 2011

Multiple scholarships

At NTNU, Centre for Quantifiable Quality of Service in Communication
Systems there are multiple vacant scholarships for PhD studies. The
Centre is a Centre of Excellence (CoE) under the scheme initiated by
The Research Council of Norway to enable Norwegian research groups to
carry on long-term, basic research at a high international standard.

The Centre deals with Quality of Service (QoS) issues in
heterogeneous, multilayered networks where packet switching technology
is employed. The Centre works within the following areas: new network
structures, multimedia signal processing, dependability, traffic and
information security as applied to multiparty communication between
stationary and mobile users. The Centre presently has around 35
scientists including professors, postdocs, PhD candidates and visiting
professors/scholars.

The Centre invites promising PhD candidates having completed a
university education, i.e. a master’s degree (with honours) or
equivalent, or being about to graduate in an area that is relevant to
our research mentioned above, to join the Centre to work with
challenging research tasks in a stimulating and international working
environment. Your main task will be the research, but you will be
given the opportunity to also acquire some teaching experience. During
the three year period you will have the opportunity to broaden your
knowledge by joining international exchange programs, to participate
in national and international conferences and workshops, and to visit
other research institutes and universities worldwide.

For further information about the Centre see the Centre’s website at

http://www.q2s.ntnu.no/.

At present, The Centre has vacant PhD scholarships within the following areas:

“Network Media Handling”,
focusing on virtual worlds. Within this topic it will be possible to
combine and integrate work within one of the four challenges or
virtual worlds;
Technology (3D rendering, advanced distribution models)
Quality (perceptual evaluation and management)
A User perspective (Social computing, User participation, User
generated content)
Applications (scenarios for virtual words including gaming and health care)
The work will be jointly conducted with Center for Advanced Media
Research Amsterdam – CAMeRA, at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam

“QoS Mechanisms for Dynamic Networks”,
encompassing QoS issues in an interdomain context. The focus will be
on dependability and resource allocation both in unicast and multicast
architectures. A related area will be suitable monitoring and
measurement techniques for such contexts. Further, we are also
interested in another potential line of investigation directed toward
ensuring QoS in network and service access, taking into account
mobility and heterogeneity in access technology as well as operator
domain issues. As above, the focus will be on dependability and
resource allocation.
