December, 2008

The Research Group Phycology (Ghent University, Belgium) has a vacancy for a 4-year position leading to a PhD. The project involves the identification and characterization of sex-specific proteins and genes in the brown alga Ectocarpus siliculosus. The primary aim is to isolate lectins and glycoproteins known to mediate cell recognition between male and female gametes. The recognition process is viewed as crucial step in sexual reproduction, and evolution of the genes involved may ultimately provide useful insights in reproductive isolation and diversification. The project, funded by the Ghent University, runs in a collaboration with the Laboratory Biochemistry and Glycobiology (Prof. Els Van Damme). The successful candidate will join a team of academics and researchers working diversification of marine macroalgae (http://users.ugent.be/phycology/) as well as experts in carbohydrate-lectin interactions. Applications are invited from suitably qualified postgraduate candidates. Any previous experience in any of the following fields is considered a plus point: macroalgal culturing techniques; isolation and identification of proteins and peptides; bio-informatics. For more detailed information on the project, infrastructure and working environment contact: Olivier.declerck@ugent.be. Application deadline: 1 December 2008.

November, 2008

August, 2008

A postdoctoral and a PhD student positions are available immediately to investigate the role of the transcription/DNA repair factor TFIIH in the regulation of gene expression and genome maintenance. Mutations in three of the ten subunits of TFIIH results in genetic disorders xeroderma pigmentosum and trichothiodystrophy. Since several years, Jean Marc Egly's lab at U. Strasbourg, France has contributed to a better understanding of the regulation of protein coding gene transcription and nucleotide excision repair (NER) by dissecting the function of each of the ten subunits of TFIIH. In addition our work provide explanations for the clinical features of the XP/TTD/CS patients and those who have hormone deregulation problems. Specific studies include RT-PCR, ChIP, in vitro and in vivo transcription and DNA repair assays, establishment of stable cell lines, structure-function analyses. Experience in molecular techniques and protein purification is desirable. Fundings are provided by either the EU and the French national research agency.
