Post-doctoral Research Scientist in Lymphocyte Signalling and Development - Babraham Institute, Cambridge. Babraham Institute Cambridge, United Kingdom Salary range is £28900 to £32200 per annum The Babraham Institute is a charity which is world renowned for its research in life sciences to enhance lives and improve wellbeing. We are seeking a postdoctoral research scientist to work on projects aimed to elucidate the role of PI3Ks in immunity and infection.

The project will involve advanced techniques used in immunological research, including imaging, flow cytometry, molecular biology and biochemistry. The successful candidate will join a dynamic team of researchers who work on different aspects of immunity. Applicants will have a PhD in immunology, cell biology, biochemistry or a related field and will have practical experience in molecular biology, biochemistry and cellular assays relevant to lymphocyte biology, including analysis by flow cytometry and microscopy.

LIPhy - Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire de Physique Grenoble, France Specialisations: Biomedical Engineering. Job Details: Postdoctoral position (Fall 2013) Mechanobiology of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) Aneurysm of the abdominal aorta (AAA) is a common and frequently lethal age-related disease affecting 6 to 9% of the population over the age of 65. The formation of AAA is believed to be a multi-factorial and degenerative process resulting from a complex interplay between biological processes in the arterial wall and the hemodynamic stimuli on the wall, such as Wall Shear Stress (WSS).

As a monolayer in direct contact with blood, vascular endothelial cells (EC) are the primary cells exposed to the WSS. The work of the post-doctoral fellow will consist in: To clarify the role of the shear stress gradient in EC-dysfunction, EC will be analyzed for several biological aspects in both experimental setups. Starting date of the position: Ideally between September and November 2013. Research | LEB. Cellular responses to external signals begin at the plasma membrane, where the dynamic assembly of receptors or ion channels can regulate cellular activity. Membrane-enveloped viruses, including the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) also assemble at the plasma membrane, exploiting mechanisms evolved for cellular trafficking.

Despite the importance of these processes, our physical paradigm for how proteins form mesoscale assemblies is far from complete. This is in part a consequence of technical limitations. While the organization and dynamics of membrane proteins are heterogeneous, commonly used fluorescence-based measurements lack information at the molecular scale. In contrast, single molecule measurements limited to looking at only a few molecules in a given cell lack ensemble information. Thus, the study of protein assembly has been limited by a lack of spatially resolved, dynamic information on ensembles of molecules. Projects. Research Activities.
