Post-doc and PhD positions at the Centre of Knowledge Based Nanomaterials and Technologies at Szczecin University of Technology, Poland are open. This work is part of the Marie-Curie Research and Training Network “CARBIO” – Multifunctional carbon nanotubes for biomedical applications.

The CARBIO partners apply a multidisciplinary approach in order to exploit the potential of multi-functional carbon nanotubes (CNT) for biomedical applications. CNT with tailored functionalities (different filling, heat sensitive caps) will be synthesized and modified to become compatible to biological systems. Their chemical and physical properties will be studied in order to find mechanisms, which can be applied for a biomedical purpose in appropriate medical devices. Studies of their interaction with biological environments (immune response, toxicity, interaction with the single cell) will provide the basis for applying the CNT for imaging (nanoparticles-based contrast agents), sensoring (nanoparticles-based diagnostics) and cancer treatment (hyperthermia, nanotechnology-based targeted drug delivery).

Studies on the exohedral functionalisation of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) , e.g. by coating with lipids, chemical bonding with carboxyl groups, amides and antibodies. A first step will be to increase the water solubility of the CNT. Non-covalent functionalisation will be done via stacking/hydrophobic interactions. The formation of covalent linkage with the CNT will be performed via functional side groups attached to the tube wall produced during acid treatment of the tubes. Covalent functionalisation will be done with carboxylic groups and with biomolecules or with non-covalent attachment directly to the CNT (biopolymer wrapping, insertion and adsorption). Heat sensitive organic molecules will be attached to open CNT, thereby providing heat sensitive caps of the CNT. The applicant will also support reserch task 2 (see the project website) which involves the synthesis and metal flling of MWCNT.

The fellowships are well paid, including a basic living and a mobility allowance (with deductions by national laws) and travel and career exploratory allowances according to the Marie Curie rules. Each fellow will get an employment contract with one partner and will perform secondments at other partners. A generous career development package is included. CARBIO offers 12 three-years fellowships for Early-Stage Researchers (PhD positions) and 4 fellowships for Experienced Researchers (ER).

The applicants must meet the requirements of the Marie-Curie fellowships. E.g., the fellows must be nationals of a state other than the country where they will perform their studies and they may not have carried out their main activities in that country for more than 12 months in the 3 years prior to the start of the fellowship. Applicants should be EU citizens.

A 3-year Marie Curie PhD studentship for a non-French citizen is available at the Station Biologique de Roscoff (Britanny, France). Subject: Halogenation is an original and unexplored defence pathway in marine algae. This PhD proposal aims at investigating these specific processes in the new brown algal model Ectocarpus siliculosus, taking advantage of new genomic and genetic resources (a large-scale project to sequence the complete genome of Ectocarpus is underway and will be achieved in 2006 at Genoscope, France).

The project will involve the use of genomics, proteomics and metabolite profiling methodologies to characterise these specific metabolic pathways in Ectocarpus. It will also benefit of a genetic approach to identify and characterize mutants altered in halogenation processes and defence mechanisms. For more details on the project see:

Covalent functionalisation will be done with carboxylic groups and with biomolecules or with non-covalent attachment directly to the CNT (biopolymer wrapping, insertion and adsorption). Heat sensitive organic molecules will be attached to open CNT, thereby providing heat sensitive caps of the CNT. The applicant will also support reserch task 2 (see the project website) which involves the synthesis and metal flling of MWCNT. The fellowships are well paid, including a basic living and a mobility allowance (with deductions by national laws) and travel and career exploratory allowances according to the Marie Curie rules. Each fellow will get an employment contract with one partner and will perform secondments at other partners. A generous career development package is included. CARBIO offers 12 three-years fellowships for Early-Stage Researchers (PhD positions) and 4 fellowships for Experienced Researchers (ER). The applicants must meet the requirements of the Marie-Curie fellowships. E.g., the fellows must be nationals of a state other than the country where they will perform their studies and they may not have carried out their main activities in that country for more than 12 months in the 3 years prior to the start of the fellowship. Applicants should be EU citizens.

September 15 , 2006 A 3-year Marie Curie PhD studentship for a non-French citizen is available at the Station Biologique de Roscoff (Britanny, France). Subject: Halogenation is an original and unexplored defence pathway in marine algae. This PhD proposal aims at investigating these specific processes in the new brown algal model Ectocarpus siliculosus, taking advantage of new genomic and genetic resources (a large-scale project to sequence the complete genome of Ectocarpus is underway and will be achieved in 2006 at Genoscope, France). The project will involve the use of genomics, proteomics and metabolite profiling methodologies to characterise these specific metabolic pathways in Ectocarpus. It will also benefit of a genetic approach to identify and characterize mutants altered in halogenation processes and defence mechanisms.
