PhD or postdoctoral fellowships, Tuebingen,
Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology
Tuebingen, Germany.
PhD or postdoctoral positions funded by tax free fellowships are available in the research group of Remco Sprangers and in the research group of Silke Wiesner. We are looking for candidates that have a strong interest structural biology and biochemistry. More details about the projects that combine NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography and biochemical approaches can be found below. Both laboratories are very well equipped, including new 600 and 800 MHz NMR spectrometers, crystallization robots and state-of-the-art instrumentation for protein expression and purification. In addition, we have regular access to the synchrotron facility at the SLS.
Applicants for the PhD positions should have a strong background in biochemistry, chemistry and/or biophysics. Applicants for the postdoctoral positions should have a PhD in NMR spectroscopy or X-ray crystallography. Please contact remco.sprangers@tuebingen.mpg.de or silke.wiesner@tuebingen.mpg.de by June 15, 2011 and include a pdf file with a brief CV, names of two referees and a summary of research interests and previous research projects.
The research group of Remco Sprangers (http://www.eb.tuebingen.mpg.de/research-groups/remco-sprangers) studies how protein motions determine enzymatic function. We are especially interested in the machinery that degrades mRNA. Structural changes in the degradation complex allow for a tight regulation of the mRNA decay process that is crucial for cellular homeostasis. To understand how this is achieved on an atomic level, we use novel techniques in high resolution NMR spectroscopy (methyl TROSY) in combination with X-ray crystallography and biochemical experiments.
The research group of Silke Wiesner (http://www.eb.tuebingen.mpg.de/research-groups/silke-wiesner) is interested in the structure, function, and regulation of the ubiquitination machinery. Ubiquitination marks proteins for degradation and thereby controls cellular signaling and behavior. We seek to provide a molecular basis for protein ubiquitination and to understand how diseases like cancer arise from dysfunctional ubiquitination enzymes. We gain structural information from NMR and/or X-ray crystallography and combine this information with investigations targeted at functional aspects using both in vitro and in vivo studies.

PhD position France
A PhD position is available at Rennes, France (collaboration between INRA-APBV (Yield under abiotic stress) and Cemagref (IRM-Food)). The project concerns in particular the update of the cellular and metabolic events which contribute to the reallocation of nitrogenous and carbon from senescing leaf tissues in order to define the mains determinants and to improve their efficiency. The ambition based on the two laboratories collaboration is to associate a fine analysis at the cellular level of the structural organization of leaf tissues by an original approach of NMR relaxometry with the concomitant description of the metabolic orientation of products stemming from organels and macromolecules degradation by metabolomic approaches. We will be also testing the validity of the NMR analysis as an efficient integrative tool to characterize senescing tissues and as an effective means of diagnostic and medium throughput phenotyping tool of stress conditions.
The project is highly interdisciplinary and will combine NMR for identification of water in different cell parts with cell biology techniques (non aqueous sub-cellular fractionnation, sub-cellular metabolic profiling, TEM, leaf senescence characterisation (molecular pysiological and biochemical markers).
Applications close - 15 Juin 2011.
Interested applicants should contact Dr Maja Musse (maja.musse@cemagref.fr) or Dr Laurent Leport (laurent.leport@univ-rennes1.fr) directly by submitting their CV.

PhD MRI
A PhD position is available at Cemagref, Rennes (IRM-Food). This collaborative project amongst the groups IRM-Food and PV-BIA, INRA (Marc Lahaye) aimed at characterisation of microstructure distribution of apple fruit by quantitative MRI.
All the necessary details regarding this position are detailed below. Applications close 15 Juin 2011.
Interested applicants should send the required application document at: maja.musse@cemagref.fr.
Purpose:
The quantitative MRI and NMR relaxometry offer the possibility to access macroscopic (tissue distribution), mesoscopic (local porosity) and microscopic (subcellular water distribution) changes and associated with chemical and mechanical characterisation of tissues, would make it possible to understand the influence of tissue structure to mechanical properties of the fruit. The main questions that the thesis will try to answer are:
- Among the hystological (cell dimensions), biophysical (turgor pressure, membrane permeability) and chemical characteristics, what are those who determine the relaxation times and diffusion coefficient?
- What is the influence of the porosity and its distribution within the tissues on the mechanical properties of the fruit?
- Do the distributions of the relaxation times and diffusion coefficient measured by MRI and their time variation depend on the plant variety?
- Is it possible to consider the relaxation times, diffusion coefficient and the porosity measured by MRI for the phenotyping?
Relaxation times and apparent diffusion coeficient measured by MRI and NMR will be correlated with macrovision and microscopic images of apple parenchyma and with its chimical and mechanical properties. Fruits with known and very different chaarcteristcs (cell dimensions, firmness, elasticity of apple flesh) will be used.
Scills required by the candidate:
The candidate should have bases on MRI/NMR physics, some knowelage of biology and be able to work in an interdisciplinary environment. A Master's degree or equivalent is required.
