Postdoc position in Umea, Sweden
Postdoctoral fellowship:
Molecular understanding of phosphorus dynamics in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems
The interplay between biosphere and the environment is at the core of global climate change. Organic P compounds are key determinants of primary production in many terrestrial and most aquatic ecosystems. The ability for plants or microorganisms to utilize organic P is an important part of the P dynamics and has implications for ecosystem functioning. Knowledge on the speciation and reactivity of the organic P pool is thus a key issue in both terrestrial and aquatic science.
This project will create unique, molecular-scale knowledge about the transfer mechanisms between various biogeochemical pools of phosphorus in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The research will benefit a broad range of fundamental ecological and geochemical questions and will be an important contribution to the application of NMR to natural samples and brings together a multidisciplinary group of researchers.
· Develop methods for speciation of organic P in soils and freshwater ecosystems by means of different 31P NMR techniques.
· Apply the 31P NMR techniques on environmental samples to unravel the molecular details of how different organic P species in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems relate to vegetation, climate and microbial bioavailability.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. in chemistry or a related field.
Key qualifications for this position:
- experience in modern spectroscopic techniques, experience in handling
environmental samples
- communication skills in speech and writing
- interest in working in a multidisciplinary group and in environmental issues
Applications, sent electronically to Reiner.Giesler@emg.umu.se or Jurgen.Schleucher@chem.umu.se should include:
- Introductory letter with a statement of research interest
- CV
- A list of publications
- Names and contacts of persons willing to act as references

Post-Doctoral Position Amiens France
Post-Doctoral Position:
Structure of lignocellulose and its enzymatic hydrolysis: contribution of solid state NMR and electron microscopy.
This proposal is funded by the regional council of Picardie in the laboratory Génie Enzymatique et cellulaire - UMR 6022 CNRS-UPJV (Amiens)
The project lies in the development of second-generation biofuels as an alternative to fossil fuels and the first-generation biofuels. The concept of second-generation biofuels, is based on valuing the entire plant by producing ethanol from the abundant ligno-cellulosic biomass. One of technological lock for the development of this renewable energy is the conversion of the insoluble fraction of cellulose into monosaccharides. The crystalline structure of insoluble cellulose seems to be responsible of the inefficiency of enzymes degradation. The successful candidate will study the three-dimensional organization by developing appropriate NMR solid-state experiments and microscopy observations in connection with the enzyme degradation.
NMR facilities include two 500 MHz and 300 MHz WB spectrometers (Bruker) equipped with solid probes (CP and HR-MAS). Scanning Electron Microscopy and AFM are also available..
Funding for this position is available from 01/11/2008, for up to two years
Post-doctoral salary will be around 2000 € per month

Master, Diploma and PhD Positions in Tübingen, Germany
---------------------------------------------------------------
The biomolecular NMR research group of Dr. Remco Sprangers at the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in Tübingen, Germany is looking for Master, Diploma and PhD Students.
We use modern NMR techniques that are able to study large macromolecular complexes (e.g. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17762877 and http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17237764)
and exploit these methods to obtain insight in the mechanisms behind mRNA decay. These decay pathways directly influences protein expression levels and underlie cellular processes ranging from the response to environmental signals to the development of multi-cellular organisms and cell-cell communication.
The Max Planck institute for developmental biology hosts 5 departments and 8 independent research groups that focus their research on Protein Evolution, Biochemistry, Genetics, Evolutionary Biology and Molecular Biology. To increase the strength of Structural Biology, 600 MHz and 800 MHz NMR spectrometers and an in house X-ray source and crystallization robot were recently installed. The broad background of the institute offers the possibility to complement NMR studies with bio-informatics, microscopy and/or in-vivo studies. In addition, students are offered interdisciplinary practical and theoretical training, particularly through common introductory courses, symposia and research seminars. The majority of students coming to the institutes are funded by Max Planck Scholarships and the typical duration of a PhD thesis at the MPI for Developmental Biology is 3 - 4 years.
Highly motivated applicants that have a strong background in biochemistry and/or biophysics are invited to apply. Please contact remco.sprangers@tuebingen.mpg.de for more information and include a CV with a summary of research interests. Alternatively, candidates can apply through the institutes international PhD program: http://www.eb.tuebingen.mpg.de/phd-program

Postdoc in solid-state NMR of pharmaceuticals at Durham (UK) (update)
As a result of the imminent departure of the current position holder for a permanent position, the Durham Solid-State NMR group expects a postdoctoral vacancy of about 12 months (depending on appointment level) to be available from April.
The project ("Elucidating structure and dynamics in pharmaceutical solvates") essentially is show-casing the power of modern solid-state NMR to obtained detailed information about local structure and dynamics in complex materials of technological importance, and connects with innovative work in the group using molecular dynamics to relate molecular-level detail to bulk properties. A set of interesting systems (both from the NMR and applications viewpoint) has already been identified in the initial phase of the project. Since the systems are now familiar, the project is quite suitable for newly-qualified spectroscopists wishing to gain further experience in solid-state NMR, contacts with the pharmaceutical industry, and with specialist DFT-based code for calculating NMR parameters in solids (CASTEP). But the project also offers opportunities for more experienced researchers to devise novel techniques for the characterisation of locally dynamic materials.
More information on the Solid-State NMR group in Durham can be found on our web pages (link below). Potential applicants are encouraged to contact me as soon as possible for more information about this position (or life in the historic cathedral city of Durham) so that we can make a rapid appointment when the position formally becomes available.
