PhD position in Systems Biology, Montpellier
Candidate:
We are looking for a candidate motivated by systems biology and with strong background in mathematical modelling and computer science. Previous training in biology is an advantage.
To apply, please send an e-mail to ovidiu.radulescu@univ-montp2.fr with a CV and the names of 3 referees before June 30.
Thesis:
Studying lipid metabolism of Plasmodium is of great interest as its normal functioning is essential for the survival of the parasite. Targeting this metabolism with drugs represents a new pharmaceutical approach against malaria. Plasmodium is well suited for systems biology studies because during its life cycle this parasite activates a rare diversity of metabolic pathways. Reconstructing synthesis pathways of lipid metabolism in Plasmodium is crucial for understanding the biology of this agent of disease. The objective of this thesis is to develop a methodology for constructing dynamic mixed metabolic and genetic networks by using heterogeneous data. This methodology will be applied to transcriptomic and metabolomic data in order to build a model for lipid metabolism in Plasmodium. This model will be used for /in silico/ studies of the life cycle and of the defences against perturbations of the parasite.
Team:
The phD Student will join the new team `Biological Physics and Systems Biology` in the lab DIMNP (UMR 5235) in Montpellier. Our team develops physical, mathematical and computer science approaches for the understanding of the functioning of biological systems. At the centre of our approaches is the multi-scale modelling of the biological processes by using statistical physics, dynamical systems and stochastic processes techniques.

Beasiswa S3 di Perancis - September 2010 | France Scholarship Program
REGULATION OF ION CHANNELS IN CARCINOGENESIS
PhD position (CNRS/PACA funding) available from September 2010 in the Institute of
Developmental Biology and Cancer (UNSA CNRS UMR 6543), in the group of Dr Franck
Borgese at the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis / CNRS, Nice, France.
Thesis supervisor: Dr Olivier Soriani
Our project will focus on the regulation of ion channels involved in cancer cell behaviour
(apoptosis resistance, extra cellular matrix adhesion and degradation, motility, proliferation) .
Recently, we have demonstrated that a unique tumour biomarker, the sigma-1 receptor
(Sig1R), was functionally associated to Cl- and K+ channels in lung cancer and leukaemia
cells. We have shown that the over-expression of Sig1R in cancer cells enhances cell
apoptotic resistance through a decrease of volume-regulated Cl- channels activation kinetics
(Renaudo et al., 2007; Le Guennec et al., 2008). Moreover, exogenous sigma ligands inhibit
cell cycle through a K+ channel / p27kip1-dependent pathway (Renaudo et al. 2004).
The project will deal on the molecular mechanisms associating the Sig1R to ion channels
aberrantly expressed in leukaemia and breast cancer cells, in relation to their
aggressiveness state. Finally, in vivo significance of the described mechanisms will be
explored in a mouse metastatic model.
Main technical approaches: Molecular cell biology, genetics, microscopy imagery and
electrophysiology (patch-clamp) .
We are seeking highly talented and self-motivated candidates. A background in the field of
electrophysiology and cell physiology will be appreciated. The position will be available on
September 2010.
Candidates are invited to obtain application forms from soriani@unice. fr or borgese@unice. fr
Application deadline: Friday 30th April.
Provisional date for auditions of short listed candidates: Monday 17th May

The successful candidate will be a skillful and extremely motivated scientist with a PhD. She/he
must have a strong background in physiology, and cellular and molecular electrophysiology, but, must
deal easily with the biochemistry of membrane proteins, cell biology and molecular biology. The
applicant will be involved in collaborations with other members of the group and must show a high
motivation to interdisciplinary work. He may also possess knowledge and experience of another
excitable tissue than the heart. He will have the opportunity to use different type of imagery tools such
as confocal, 3-D deconvolution microscopes, run FRAP experiments and participate to the
development of TIRF (Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence) microscopy and videomicroscopy.

Adapun persyaratan untuk dapat menerima beasiswa di antaranya keterampilan komunikasi yang baik dalam Bahasa Inggris baik lisan maupun tulisan (IELTS 6.5), dan minimum Indeks Prestasi Kumulatif (IPK) 3,0 (untuk jurusan eksakta) dan 3,5 (noneksakta).
Lebih jelasnya, kami persilahkan bagi peminat untuk menghubungi kami, ujarnya.
Namun, kata dia, yang lebih penting dari semua persyaratan tersebut adalah orientasi studi saat berada di Perancis.
Adapun prioritas akan diberikan kepada bidang studi rekayasa (manajemen air, agronomi, teknik sipil, teknologi informasi), ilmu pengetahuan (bioteknologi, komunikasi, lingkungan hidup, risiko bencana dan manajemen, energi), administrasi, ekonomi, hukum dan ilmu politik.
Sementara itu, cakupan beasiswa meliputi biaya pendidikan dan hidup selama mengikuti kursus intensif bahasa Perancis selama setahun, tunjangan hidup bulanan, satu tiket kembali, uang (dalam lembaga-lembaga publik untuk program-program hanya diajarkan di Perancis) dan asuransi.
Untuk surat lamaran dikirim ke alamat Kedutaan Besar Perancis untuk Indonesia Jln. Panarukan No. 35 Menteng, Jakarta 10310.
