PhD Studentship, Department of Haematology, University of Cambridge, UK

Functional characterization of novel regulators of haematopoiesis and platelet function in Danio rerio

A PhD position is available jointly supervised by Dr Ana Cvejic and Professor Willem H Ouwehand who have an international track record in megakaryocyte and platelet biology and genomics.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) provide a new and powerful approach to identify novel regulators of haematopoiesis and platelet function. In a next step we want to explore the mechanisms by which common sequence variation exerts its effect on haematopoiesis.

This PhD project will initially apply high-throughput screening methods in Danio rerio to determine the function of novel genes, identified by GWAS, in haematopoiesis. Further studies will focus on novel genes encoding proteins that are important regulators of transcription.

The successful applicant will be trained in performing experiments with Danio rerio applying a variety of molecular biology and next generation sequencing techniques, state-of-the-art imaging systems, in situ hybridisation and immunohistochemistry and will mainly work in the Zebrafish genetics group of Dr Derek Stemple at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.

We are seeking applications from ambitious and highly motivated individuals looking to work in an interdisciplinary environment with education, experience or interest in haematopoiesis. Applicants should have a first or upper second-class degree in biology, biochemistry or related subjects. Familiarity with molecular biology techniques would be advantageous.

This 4-year studentship will cover University composition fees, College fees and a £16,500 stipend for UK/EEA applicants.

For more information on the group including recent publications, please see: http://www.haem.cam.ac.uk/transmed and http://www.sanger.ac.uk/research/faculty/

Previous applicants to this post should not apply.

Applications, including a completed CHRIS/6 form (http:/www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/hr/forms/chris6/) with three referees, and a full CV should be forwarded to Ms Lucy Szabo on ls542@cam.ac.uk.

American College of Surgeons Traveling Fellowship to Germany

The International Relations Committee of the American College of Surgeons announces the availability of the ACS Traveling Fellowship to Germany.

Purpose
The purpose of this fellowship is to encourage international exchange of surgical scientific information. The ACS Traveling Fellow will visit Germany, and a German Traveling Fellow will visit North America.

Basic Requirements
The scholarship is available to a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons in most of the surgical specialties who meets the following requirements:

• Has a major interest and accomplishment in clinical and basic science related to surgery
• Holds a current full-time academic appointment in Canada or the United States
• Is under 45 years of age on the date the application is filed
• Is enthusiastic and personable and possesses good communication skills
• Applicants with some German language skills are particularly encouraged

Activities

The Fellow is required to spend a minimum of two weeks in Germany.

• To attend and participate in the annual meeting of the German Surgical Society, which will be held in Berlin, Germany, April 24–27, 2012
• To attend the German ACS Chapter meeting during that congress
• To visit at least two medical centers (other than the annual meeting city) in Germany before or after the annual meeting of the German Surgical Society to lecture and to share clinical and scientific expertise with the local surgeons

The academic and geographic aspects of the itinerary will be finalized in consultation and mutual agreement between the Fellow and designated representatives of the German Surgical Society and the German ACS Chapter. The surgical centers to be visited will depend to some extent on the special interests and expertise of the Fellow and his or her previously established professional contacts with surgeons in Germany.

His or her spouse is welcome to accompany the successful applicant. There will be opportunities for social interaction in addition to professional activities.

Financial Support
The College will provide the sum of $6,000 U.S. to the successful applicant, who will also be exempted from registration fees for the annual meeting of the German Surgical Society.

Senior German Surgical Society and ACS German Chapter representatives will consult with the Fellow about the centers to be visited in Germany, the local arrangements for each center, and other advice and recommendations about travel schedules. The Fellow is to make his/her own travel arrangements in North America, because doing so will allow him/her to take advantage of reduced fares and travel packages for travel in Germany.

The American College of Surgeons International Relations Committee will select the Fellow after review and evaluation of the applications. A personal interview may be requested prior to the final selection.

Applications for this traveling fellowship may be obtained on the College’s website at http://www.facs.org/memberservices/research.html, or by writing to the International Liaison Section, American College of Surgeons, 633 N. Saint Clair St., Chicago, IL 60611-3211.
