Postdoctoral Position on Accurate Time Transfer by Optical Fiber Link, Paris Observatory, France

Title: Postdoctoral Research Associate on Accurate Time Transfer by Optical Fiber link
Application Deadline: Open January 2012, Until Filled

Description
LNE-SYRTE (Observatoire de Paris) and Laboratoire de Physique de Lasers (Université Paris 13) are seeking for a post-doctoral research associate to develop a new concept for accurate time transfer by optical fiber links based on a two-way transmission of an optical/microwave phase, with the objective of long distance ultra-precise synchronisation.

LNE-SYRTE and LPL have already demonstrated the transfer of ultrastable microwave and optical frequencies over ultra-stable fiber links. Long distance frequency dissemination was developed through optical fibe networks. A new project is now aiming at developing longdistance time transfer for accurate remote synchronisation.

The Postdoctoral Research Associate will work primarily in fiber optics, time tagging, time calibration and ultra-precise synchronisation, laser frequency stabilisation and heterodyne phase measurement systems. He or she will be expected to participate in the experimental work by setting up an optoelectronic system at LNE-SYRTE in close collaboration with LPL comprising the laser source and heterodyne detection, and testing a long haul fiber link.

Institute Cochin offers Postdoctoral Research in Erythropoiesis and Iron Metabolism funded by Ligue nationale contre le cancer, France

Study Subject(s): Erythropoiesis and Iron Metabolism
Course Level: Postdoctoral
Scholarship Provider: Ligue nationale contre le cancer
Scholarship can be taken at: France

Eligibility:

-The Postdoctoral scientist will identify the external inducers for GDF-15 secretion and the transcription factors involved in GDF-15 production in erythroblasts.
-He/she will also determine the role of GDF-15 in erythropoiesis and iron metabolism connexion.
-The candidate will benefit from all the technical platforms facilities at the Institute Cochin.

We recently described that Transferrin Receptor 2 (TfR2) is expressed in erythroblasts. We show that TfR2 associates with the receptor of erythropoietin (Epo) the main regulator of erythropoïesis. TfR2 is an escort protein for the EpoR cell surface expression and is regulating differentiation, showing thus a new function for TfR2. The role of TfR2 was indeed only described in hepatocytes where TfR2 is implicated in iron metabolism via hepcidin expression regulation. Read the rest of this entry »

University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis and CNRS  Offers Postdoctoral Position Fellowship in France

Study Subject(s): Neural code
Course Level: Postdoctoral
Scholarship Provider: University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis and CNRS
Scholarship can be taken at: France

Eligibility: Candidates should have a strong desire to carry out interdisciplinary research combining mathematical and computational modelling with connections between computer science and computational neuroscience.

European exchange information through electric impulses called spikes. These spikes (or their absence) are the symbols used to represent the information in the nervous system and they appear very early in the visual stream since they appear at the retina level. Much research is now focused on understanding this neural code for several reasons. Read the rest of this entry »
