Microbial Pathogenesis - Analysis of Legionella pneumophila Virulence

Matthias Machner, Ph.D., [email protected]

A postdoctoral position in bacterial pathogenesis is immediately available in the Cell Biology and Metabolism Program, in the Unit of Microbial

Pathogenesis, to study virulence mechanisms of the respiratory pathogen Legionella pneumophila. Our research focus is to understand how L.

pneumophila can survive and replicate within host cells. Potential projects are (i) characterization of bacterial effector proteins translocated by L.

pneumophila into the host cell cytosol during infection; (ii) identification of potential host cell targets for these effectors; and (iii) evaluation of the

role of these host-pathogen interactions for L. pneumophila virulence.

Mechanisms of Cellular Signaling

Mihaela Serpe, Ph.D., [email protected]

A postdoctoral position is available to study extracellular regulation of TGF-β signaling during nervous system development and homeostasis. We

use the Drosophila model system and a variety of biochemistry, molecular biology, and genetics approaches to understand how TGF-β signaling is

modulated in time and space. The BMP-binding protein Crossveinless-2 (Cv-2) binds to the cell surface and acts locally to either promote or inhibit

signaling (Dev. Cell 2008, 14:940). We are interested in the role of Cv-2 in nervous system development and functioning. http://ucc.nichd.nih.gov/

The STFC is seeking a Director for the

Isaac Newton Group of telescopes

(ING), based on the island of La Palma,

Canary Islands, Spain. The ING

consists of the 4.2-m William Herschel

Telescope (WHT), the 2.5-m Isaac

Newton Telescope (INT), and the 1.0-m

Jacobus Kapteyn Telescope (JKT).

The ING is operated on behalf of the

UK Science and Technology Facilities

Council (STFC), the Nederlanse

Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk

Onderzoek (NWO), and the Instituto de

Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC). The STFC,

the NWO, and the IAC have entered

into collaborative agreements for the

operation of and the sharing of

observing time on the ING telescopes.

Oversight of the ING is provided by the

ING Board.

The funding agencies have recently

confirmed their strong support for the

continued operation of the ING,

emphasising the vital role that the WHT

plays in provision of support for

European astronomers in the Northern

hemisphere.

It is expected that the ING will take a

lead in discussions with other

telescope sites in the Canaries and

across Europe, via new funding routes

seeking to enhance the effectiveness of

the medium- size telescopes into the

era of the Extremely Large Telescopes.

In that regard and together with the

Board and the ING user community, the

new Director will lead the development

of scientific and strategic cases for the

longer term, as the ING operates within

the context of future large telescope

projects. They will also be responsible

for the successful introduction of the

next generation of instrumentation

projects for the ING.

On a day-to-day basis the Director will

be responsible for planning and

executing the approved programme

within policy and resource guidelines

set by the ING Board, to whom they

will be required to report regularly.

They will also be accountable formally,

as an employee of STFC, to the Chief

Executive of STFC, for the efficient and

proper use of resources, consistent

with the requirements of public

accountability, employment legislation,

policy and best practice, and Health &

Safety compliance.

It is highly desirable that the successful

candidate speaks Spanish; if necessary,

intensive language training will be

provided prior to taking up the

appointment. They should also hold a

current clean driving license since the

job requires regular travel between the

operations site on the Roque de los

Muchachos and the sea-level office.

Since the job requires work at a height

of 2400m, medical clearance will be

required. Appointments will be subject

to candidates obtaining a visa/work

permit, if necessary.

www.scitech.ac.uk

Out of this WorldDIRECTOR, ING3-5 YEAR FIXED-TERM APPOINTMENT (with the possibility of renewal)

The successful applicant will be based on La Palma and the exact terms of the appointment will depend on the

type agreed, e.g. an STFC post or secondment, but a relocation package will be available. The starting salary

(negotiable) will be commensurate with the position as Director of a leading astronomical facility.

More information about the organisation and a full job description can be found on our website at

http://www.scitech.ac.uk and on the ING website at http://www.ing.iac.es All applicants must complete the

online application form which can be found on both of these two websites.

"Multi-Scale Phenomena in Biology Workshop"

Date: November 4, 2008 - November 6, 2008Location: Okinawa, Japan

A multitude of biological phenomena are described at multiplelevels.

What are the commonalities and differences between neuroscience,evolutionary biology, molecular biology and ecology in thisregard?

How can mathematics help in describing these phenomena?

We have invited leading scholars from a number of disciplinesfacedwithmulti-scale challenges and frommathematical disciplinespotentially able to tackle these challenges. We hope that thisconference stimulates interdisciplinary dialogue and aids thedevelopment of mathematical techniques useful in describingbiological multi-scale phenomena. Travel scholarship available.Weencourage the applications by graduate students and post-docswhose research interests touch these subjects.
