The Department of Geoscience of Aarhus University is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to work with biomarkers and organic geochemistry of marine sediment cores from the Arctic Ocean and northern North Atlantic Ocean. The main research subject is the impact of variability of sea-ice cover and ice sheet dynamics on climate during the last glacial cycle and the Holocene.
Research group The postdoctoral researcher will be part of a newly established research group working with organic biomarkers in (sub-)polar paleoceanography, in close collaboration to existing groups in the same department as well as the departments of Chemistry, Bioscience and Physics and Astronomy at Aarhus University. The main research questions of the research group are: - How anomalous is the current loss of Arctic sea-ice cover over a longer time perspective?
During the Holocene (last ~11,700 years)
During previous interglacials of the Late Quaternary
- What is the impact of meltwater input from ice sheets on ocean circulation and climate?
In the early Holocene (North American ice sheet)
resent and future (Greenland)
Duties The main duties of the postdoctoral researcher will be the study of organic biomarkers from marine sediments, and to assist with building up a biomarker extraction laboratory and GC-MS method development. Recent biomarkers will be used to reconstruct sea-ice cover and productivity, while ancient biomarkers will be analyzed to study the provenance of detrital sediment input. Several sediment records are available for analysis from a large geographic area including the Arctic Ocean, Labrador Sea, Baffin Bay and East Greenland. Within the general framework of Arctic biomarker paleoceanography, there is freedom for the postdoctoral researcher to develop her/his own ideas. Candidates are therefore invited to formulate their research plans in a short research proposal as part of the application. The postdoctoral researcher is expected to assist with the (co-) supervision of thesis projects for (under-) graduate students and the (co-) writing of larger grant applications. Classroom teaching is optional.

POSTDOC INVESTIGATING THE ROLE OF INTER-BRAIN SYNCHRONY IN SOCIAL COGNITION (217519)
Founded in 1614, the University of Groningen enjoys an international reputation as a dynamic and innovative institution of higher education offering high-quality teaching and research. Flexible study programmes and academic career opportunities in a wide variety of disciplines encourage the 30,000 students and researchers alike to develop their own individual talents. As one of the best research universities in Europe, the University of Groningen has joined forces with other top universities and networks worldwide to become a truly global centre of knowledge.
Within the Faculty of Science and Engineering, a postdoc position is available at the institute Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Engineering (ALICE) of the University of Groningen in The Netherlands.
We are seeking a highly motivated research scientist to join a multidisciplinary team investigating the role of inter-brain synchrony in social cognition. This project is carried out in the laboratory of Dr Marieke van Vugt, Artificial Intelligence, University of Groningen (the Netherlands), in collaboration with Prof David Fresco and Dr Joshua Pollock, Kent State University (United States). The candidate will be based in the Netherlands.
The aim of the project supported by the AFOSR (Air Force Office of Scientific Research) is to determine the role of inter-brain synchronization in social cognition. To do so, we will make use of a rather unique situation: the dyadic debates performed by Tibetan monks in southern India. What is fascinating about those debates is that they combine both physical movement and specific contemplative practices. The first aim of our project is to relate the physical and mental features visible in the videos to changes in inter-brain synchrony during debates. We will then actively manipulate those features in collaboration with a group of dancers in Groningen (the Netherlands) who have been specialized in manipulating their social connections by means of movement and contemplative practices. We hope that this research will lead to a better understanding of the cognitive processes and social circumstances in which inter-brain synchrony increases and decreases.
This project is ideal for a candidate who is looking for an outside-the-box experience and profile. S/he will gain experience with the cutting-edge EEG technology of hyperscanning in exciting real-world environments. You will be able to publish multiple journal articles on this work, and be involved in grant writing to follow up on this work. The University of Groningen also provides courses on writing of articles and grants. Part of the research will take place in a Tibetan monastery in southern India, and another part of the research involves collaborations with dancers. Consequently, the postdoc provides the opportunity to travel to India multiple times. There will also be plenty of opportunity for independent and creative thinking.
The ideal candidate is highly motivated and holds a PhD in neuroscience, artificial intelligence, psychology or a related field. S/he is able to confidently handle EEG equipment and manipulate the system setup (experience in engineering is a plus). The candidate is also well-skilled in analyses of complex data. In addition, the candidate is a sensitive team player (being able to successfully collaborate with a team in The Netherlands, the United States and India, including Tibetan monks and dancers) and can adapt to new social situations (e.g., working in the monastery in India).
The University of Groningen offers a salary dependent on qualifications and work experience of € 2,588 gross per month up to a maximum of € 4,084 gross per month (salary scale 10 Dutch Universities) for a full-time position. This position is defined according to the UFO function profile 'researcher 4'. The appointment is temporary, with a maximum of 20 months. You will benefit from the Faculty of Science and Engineering that was recently started.
How to apply You may apply for this position until 7 January 23:59 h / before 8 January 2018 (Dutch local time) by means of the application form available via the "Go to application page" button.
Applications for the position should include:
curriculum vitae (name, address, degree(s) with transcript(s) of grades, research experience, educational and employment history, etc.); please include the University and GPA of your BSc and MSc, as well as any awards, distinctions, and publications within the body of your email
motivation letter
name and (email) address of three academic references.
The preferred starting date will be as soon as possible.

Naturwissenschaftlicher Doktorand / PhD Student (w/m) Core Facility TRAM Teilzeitbeschäftigt mit 65% der regelmäßigen wöchentlichen Arbeitszeit Vergütung je nach Qualifikation und Aufgabenübertragung nach TV-L E13 Kennziffer: 01361
Die Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Medizinische Fakultät, core facility transgenic animal and genetic engineering models (TRAM), bietet folgendes PhD-Projekt an:
Untersuchung der im Prader-Willi-Syndrom-Lokus enthaltenen nicht-proteinkodierenden RNAs in Knock-IN-Mausmodellen.
Beim Prader-Willi-Syndrom (PWS) handelt es sich um eine neurogenetische Erkrankung, die auf der Deletion oder Inaktivierung imprinteter Gene innerhalb des Prader-Willi-Lokus beruht. Die PWScr beinhaltet ein SNORD116 snoRNA Gen-Cluster, flankiert von nicht-protein-kodierenden IPW-A Exonen. Wir konnten zeigen, dass in erster Linie der Mangel an exprimierten ncRNAs aus der PWScr für das PWS verantwortlich ist. Die essentielle Frage, ob die Expression beider PWScr-RNAs oder das Fehlen einer der beiden ncRNAs ursächlich für das PWS ist, blieb bisher ungeklärt und soll im hier vorgestellten Projekt mit Hilfe von Knock-IN-Mausmodellen beantwortet werden.
Ein Bewerber sollte folgende Eigenschaften aufweisen:
Abgeschlossenes naturwissenschaftliches Hochschulstudium (z. B. Biochemie, Biologie, Biotechnologie)
Exzellente Kenntnisse in molekularbiologischen Methoden, insbesondere RNA-Techniken
Gute Kenntnisse im Bereich der Transcriptome-Technologien
Tierexperimentelle Erfahrungen sowie nachweisliche Teilnahme an einem Tierversuchskundekurs sind wünschenswert
Erfahrungen im Bereich der Bioinformatik
Organisationsgeschick, Teamfähigkeit und hohe Leistungsfähigkeit
Kommunikationsfähigkeit
Fähigkeit zu strukturiertem Arbeiten
Gute Englischkenntnisse in Wort und Schrift
Ferner wünschen wir uns zwei Referenzschreiben.
Bei Rückfragen wenden Sie sich bitte an den Leiter des Projektes Herrn Dr. Timofey Rozhdestvenskiy (rozhdest@uni-muenster.de) oder den Leiter der Core Facility TRAM Herrn Dr. Boris Skryabin (skryabi@uni-muenster.de).
