7338| New York University Abu Dhabi, Division of Sciences and Mathematics| Post-Doctoral Associate, Division of Sciences and Mathematics, NYU Abu Dhabi| Post-Doctoral Associate Division of Sciences and MathematicsNYU Abu DhabiApplications are invited for a postdoctoral position on Lagrangian numerical methods for studying ocean dynamics with Professor Francesco Paparella at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD). The appointment will be for one year with potential for further two-years renewal, starting no later than Spring 2018. The successful candidate will be in charge of developing a Lagrangian numerical code running as a subsystem of an ocean circulation model (ROMS will be the initial testbed). The code will differ from current Lagrangian codes in being focused on on-line (that is, running synchronously with the circulation model) calculations with a number of particles comparable with the number of Eulerian grid nodes. The focus will initially be on elucidating the advantages of on-line vs off-line calculations. In the long run the goal is to use it as the foundation for innovative biogeochemical modelling. The post-doc will have direct access to NYUAD’s high performance computing facility (the Dalma cluster), and will be working in close contact with post-doc and researchers of the Center for Prototype Climate Modeling (http://nyuad.nyu.edu/en/research/nyuad-institute/institute-research/cpcm.html), joining a small team of scientists engaged in a broad effort to develop Lagrangian models to understand and model Ocean and Atmospheric dynamics. Funds will be available for travel to conferences and for other collaborative endeavors. Applicants must hold a PhD in ocean/atmospheric sciences, applied mathematics or related fields. The successful applicant will have significant experience in developing numerical codes in Fortran or C, in addition to running parallel code on high performance computing facilities and analyzing its outputs. Familiarity with ocean or atmospheric circulation models, and in particular with ROMS will be a plus. The terms of employment are very competitive. Applications will be accepted immediately and candidates will be considered until the position is filled. To be considered, all applicants must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, transcript of degree, a one-page summary of research accomplishments and interests, and at least 2 letters of recommendation, all in PDF format.

7359| University of Kansas, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology| Postdoctoral researcher in population modelling| Dr Daniel Reuman is recruiting into his lab in the University of Kansas Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB). At least 3 years of funding are available to carry out modelling pertaining to spatial population dynamics and analysis of large spatial population data sets. The postdoc will join an interdisciplinary team consisting of Reuman, three postdocs and one student currently in the Reuman lab, collaborators in EEB and in the Math Department at KU, and collaborators at several institutions in the USA and UK. Funding is from the NSF Mathematical Biology program and the James S McDonnell Foundation. In many hierarchical dynamical systems, “synchrony” between multiple fluctuating variables, i.e. correlations or other similarities in fluctuations between variables through time, is more important than the individual variables themselves. For instance, a neuron may fire only when its input neurons fire synchronously. Or the electrical grid may crash only when demands of multiple users become synchronized, producing total-usage spikes. Ecosystems can show this type of dependency on synchrony. Ecosystems include multiple trophic levels, with population signals from lower levels often being spatially aggregated to affect higher levels. For instance, a predator is only harmed if its prey are scarce over its whole hunting area. For systems of this type, it is primarily the synchronous components of signals that matter in the average signal that affects the next level – non-synchronous components tend to cancel in the spatial average. Thus synchrony is very important to ecosystems. Synchrony is found in organisms as diverse as mammals and protists, at distances up to thousands of kilometers. Synchrony relates to large-scale outbreaks and shortages and is important in conservation. In spite of the importance of synchrony in ecology, possible impacts of climate change on synchrony are little studied. Synchrony can also be transmitted through trophic interactions - e.g., a synchronized predator can induce synchrony in its prey. But the extent to which climate-induced changes in synchrony may cascade through species interaction networks via this mechanism, or influence spatial or other branches of ecology, is unknown. The postdoc will perform statistical and/or mathematical population modelling to address these questions, and will investigate connections to extinction risk models and to Taylor’s law, a commonly applied empirical regularity in spatial ecology. The postdoc will be encouraged to develop his/her own projects within the goals of the funding grants.We seek individuals from biological or physical-science backgrounds with skills and demonstrable interests in modelling and related areas. Experience with stochastic process modelling and Fourier or wavelet approaches is a plus. Experience with population models is a plus, as are computational skills, particularly if applied in a statistical or modelling context. A PhD or ABD in a related field is required. Applicants from underrepresented groups are encouraged. The University of Kansas (KU) is a major research university with special strength in ecology and evolutionary biology. The EEB department has >40 permanent faculty working in a wide variety of theoretical and empirical areas, with National Research Council and Chronicle of Higher Education rankings in the top 10 in the USA.

We provided the first convincing evidence that DNA damage is the basic cause of cancer, laying the foundation for the now universally accepted idea that cancer is a genetic disease. Today, The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) leads the world at isolating cancer-related genes and discovering new targeted drugs for personalised cancer treatment.Research within the Imaging Centre at the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) covers a wide range of measurements, from equipment and technology development and evaluation, through biological studies in cells and animals, to clinical studies.Locally, images are managed via a Research Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS), which complements the Royal Marsden Hospital (RMH) clinical PACS. The Research PACS is based on the extensible Neuroimaging Archive Toolkit (XNAT) platform (Washington University, St Louis), which is rapidly gaining traction as a leading solution in both clinical and preclinical academic research.At the ICR, XNAT is deployed in three modes, each providing exciting opportunities for gaining experience in enterprise-level technologies:•Identifiable patient data sitting behind the NHS clinical firewall: Data are backed up via a dedicated 200 TB geo-spread object store (disk only, Lattus-M with StorNext, quantum.com).•Anonymised data within the ICR academic firewall: Data are backed up via the ICR’s state-of-the-art 6 PiB research data storage platform.•Anonymised publicly accessible repository: prototype of the new Cancer Research UK national platformOver recent years, ICR has recognized the need for investment in the latest computational resources and has recently commissioned and published a thorough Digital Review. We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Data Scientist to take an active role in all aspects of the XNAT platform, from cutting edge research in cancer to infrastructure strategy:•data science: use of the platform to perform state-of-the-art analyses of clinical image data, using radiomics and other methods;•software development: enhancement of the platform and creation of associated tools in the “XNAT ecosystem”;•day-to-day management: operational oversight of 5 XNAT instances, including key responsibility in the area of information governance;•interaction with end users: organising induction for new users, following up queries and problem solving;•strategy development: liaison with the ICR’s Department for Data Science to perform integration of image data with “-omics” and other types of cancer data; collaboration with the XNAT development team in Washington University, St Louis; involvement with Cancer Research UK on the national rollout of the XNAT platform.The successful candidate will be working in a stimulating, multi-disciplinary environment, alongside clinicians, physicists, bioinformaticians and biologists. The initial one-year post is likely to be extensible, but given the enthusiastic adoption of XNAT by the academic community, the skills and expertise acquired in the position are also likely to be highly transferrable.The successful candidate will hold a Bachelor’s degree in computer science, physics, mathematics, computational biology or related field. A PhD in a quantitative field is desirable but not essential. In addition to excellent programming skills in both scripting and high-level languages (preferably including Java), web development experience is highly desirable as is previous experience programming for the XNAT platform. Demonstrated ability to deliver software tools, and experience in data integration and visualization are also required.

7356| SUNY Upstate Medical University, Center for Vision Research| Two Postdoctoral positions - Protein aggregation/autophagic diseases in the eye| Job SummaryTwo Postdoctoral positions are available in the Center for Vision Research at SUNY Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, New York, USA in the lab of Dr. Audrey Bernstein starting July 2017. Project 1: Promoting regenerative healing in the eye. Scarring results from the persistence of myofibroblasts, cells that excessively contract tissue and secrete disorganized extracellular matrix. RNA sequencing of myofibroblasts revealed significant changes in the expression of genes coding for ubiquitin pathway components, including increased expression of a subset of deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs). This project will 1) investigate the impact of the DUB, USP10 in regulating integrin-mediated scarring and 2) test the efficacy of a self-delivery siRNA therapeutic to promote regenerative healing and prevent scarring in vivo. Project 2: Autophagic Dysfunction in Exfoliation Glaucoma. In Exfoliation Glaucoma (XFG), the leading identifiable cause of glaucoma, the eye accumulates protein aggregates that block the exit of fluid from the eye. Our studies are the first to identify an age-related cellular defect in the autophagy system in patient-derived XFG cells. This project will 1) interrogate the basic mechanisms leading to protein aggregate formation and expulsion from cells, and 2) leveraging the vast literature on neurodegenerative protein aggregation diseases, test novel therapies on patient-derived cells to reverse XFG pathology.Both projects use human primary patient-derived cells, organ culture, molecular and cell biological techniques as well as genetic and proteomic screening. The salary will be according to NIH guidelines, depending on the number of years of postdoctoral experience. SUNY Upstate is a well-funded campus with excellent resources. Syracuse, NY has a high quality of life with beautiful surroundings. http://www.goodyclancy.com/projects/upstate-neuroscience-research-building/Required QualificationsWe are seeking highly motivated and creative individuals with a PhD or MD. Experience in cell culture, molecular biology, and/or ocular surgery on animal models is welcomed. The successful candidate will have excellent organizational and communication skills. Contact:Please send a CV and contact information for 3 references to Dr. Audrey Bernstein ([email protected]). Web page at SUNY is in progress.
