Postdoctoral Position
The
Chronobiology group at the Institute for Medical Psychology of the University of Munich (LMU) is looking for a team member at the post-doc level (full time BAT IIA). Candidates should have profound experience in all methods of molecular biology – knowledge in circadian biology is desirable. Candidates should also have lead-ership qualities to motivate and direct PhD students and should speak English fluently. Experimental questions mainly concern the circadian clock and light reception in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa, circadian experiments in other model organisms are, however, not excluded. Current foci are the development of reporter gene constructs, the search for clock genes as well as experiments into the molecular mechanisms underlying circadian rhythmicity and photoperiodism.

The
Chronobiology group at the Institute for Medical Psychology of the University of Munich (LMU) is looking for a team member at the post-doc level (full time BAT IIA). Candidates should have fundamental experience and knowledge in human genetics – knowledge in circadian biology is desirable. Candidates should also have leadership qualities to motivate and direct PhD students and should speak English fluently. Our research questions mainly concern the genetics of the human circadian clock. By determining an individual’s chronotype (phase of entrainment), a quantita-tive phenotype/trait can be associated with genetic variables. Experience in handling and analysing DNA chips is an important plus. The position is offered for four years in the framework of the European Research network EUCLOCK.

[email protected]Postdoctoral Postion in Chronobiology
Background: The Biologisch Centrum of the University of Groningen has a vacancy starting April 1 in the department of Chronoiology. The aim of research is to study molecular mechanisms of the circadian clock in a powerful genetic model system, C. elegans. The circadian clock regulates gene expression, metabolism, and behaviour and the position therefore offers a broad training experience, with projects that encompass levels from genome to phenome. Specifically, this research seeks to establish basic tools to study the circadian clock in C. elegans. Subsequent work will explore mechanisms of how the clock controls rhythms (e.g. daily behaviour) and how the clock develops (ontogeny of the clock).
Applicants should enjoy working in a team, based on a communicative, collegial environment, but should also be capable of independent work.
Required education/skills for the Postdoc position You have a PhD in a biological or medical science.
The scientist will guide a team establishing this model system in the lab. Applicants who have experience with C. elegans will be given priority, as will those with a strong record and recommendations. You should be fluent in the English language.
Additional information:For more information you can contact dr. Martha Merrow (

Conditions of employment:A salary dependent on qualifications and work experience up to maximum of € 4049,-- gross per month for a full time and 8% holiday allowance and participation in a pension scheme for government employees.
Employment basis: Temporary for specified period.
Duration of the contract: …2… years.

Postdoctoral Position
Circadian Biology in Drosophila An NIH funded postdoctoral position is available immediately to study the molecular bases and physiological significance of circadian rhythms. Investigate interactions of clock proteins encoded by period and timeless genes with other cellular proteins to understand their roles in reproduction, metabolism, and stress resistance. The project involves isolating protein complexes using flies transformed with tagged PER or TIM proteins, identification of protein complexes by mass spectrometry and elucidation of their roles by genetic experiments.
Candidates should have background in biochemistry and molecular biology. Prior experience in using Drosophila genetic tools is highly desirable. Experience in circadian biology not required.
Oregon State University is situated in Corvallis between Portland and Eugene. Ocean beaches, rivers, forests, high desert, and the rugged Cascade and Coast Ranges are all within a 100-mile drive of Corvallis. The university has commitment to diversity and multiculturalism.
Interested candidates should send CV and the names and contact information of three references to:

This position requires a Bachelor’s degree and two years lab/research experience. Experience with transgenic mice is desired.
I am seeking a full time research assistant (RAI or RAII) who has significant experiences with rodent experiments (rats and mice), molecular biology techniques and cell culture. The research assistant will be responsible for maintaining transgenic, knockout and knockin mouse colonies, including handling mice (ear punch tailing), and genotyping (genomic DNA extraction, PCR, electrophoresis). The job will also involve routine laboratory work, cell culture, tissue culture, ordering. Skills in editing written English is preferred but not required.

Biological Rhythms An NIH funded postdoctoral position is available immediately to study the effects of temperature on the mammalian circadian system. The projects use luminescence reporter techniques with photon-counting/imaging to monitor circadian rhythms from cultured brain and peripheral tissues.
Previous training in molecular biology is required. Experiences with rodents and cell/tissue culture are desirable, but not required, however the post-doc is expected be involved in rodent experiments. Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent and must have a demonstrated ability to write and publish in English language journals.
Knowledge of circadian rhythms is NOT required.
Vanderbilt University offers an exceptional environment for postdoctoral training in neuroscience. Our circadian/sleep group, including Terry Page, Carl Johnson, Doug McMahon, Beth Malow and myself, will provide a stimulating research environment.
