ASSOCIATE PROFESSORSHIP/ alt. FULL PROFESSORSHIP IN BIOLOGY (MARINE BIOLOGY) is available at the Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Oslo. Further information on scientific profile, responsibilities, working duties, and other issues relevant for the position are given in a detailed job description available at this link http://www.bio. uio.no/positions or on request to Senior Executive Officer Bente Schjoldager, Tel. + 47 22 854704, e-mail: bente.schjoldager@ matnat.uio. no.
The research in the Department of Biology is organised into three programmes: Integrative Biology, Marine Biology, Microbial Evolution Research Group, and in an integrated Center of Excellence - Center for Ecological and Evolutionary Synthesis (CoE-CEES).
Currently, the Department of Biology holds a permanent academic staff of 32.
This position comes under the program for Marine Biology, which currently employs a permanent academic staff of 7, 1 adjunct associate professor (20%), and 2 technicians. The program also engages a varying number of internally and externally funded PhD students and post doc researchers, depending on funding. About 20 master students are associated with the program. Research focuses on the biology and biodiversity of macroalgae and planktonic algae, the ecology of soft bottom sediments and pelagic ecology.

Marine research is also carried out within the other research programs at the department and at CEES.
We are seeking a person with expertise and research profile in field-based ecological research on zooplankton or fish. The appointed candidate should strengthen, and complement the research that is already carried out at the department and establish a field-based activity in marine pelagic ecology, alternatively in combination with experimental studies. It is expected that the appointed candidate will aim at acquiring external funding to subsidise his/her research. A doctoral degree, strong publication record, and teaching experience are required.
The person appointed must be able and willing to participate in teaching, supervision and examination in marine biology at all levels (bachelor, master, PhD), as well as teaching more general undergraduate courses. The appointed person must also undertake administrative duties in accordance with current provisions.
The application must contain information on education, previous appointments and work experience, scientific and pedagogical activities, documentation of teaching and administrative experience.
Applicants must deliver four (4) copies of the following items before the application deadline:
· Application, CV, and attachments
· Up to 10 selected scientific publications the applicant wishes to include in the evaluation
· A list of scientific publications with bibliographic references

PhD student (assistant) in Systems Biology (M/F)
Application End: Tuesday 30 September 2008
The University of Luxembourg has a vacancy in its Faculty of Science, Technology and Communication for a Assistant- PhD student (Doktorand) in Systems Biology / Life Sciences 3-years contract, renewable starting October 2008 (or later)
Research area: Systems Biology - Life Sciences
Systems biological methods shall be used to investigate the systemic properties of inflammatory signalling networks in mammalian cells. Inflammation is a fundamental response of virtually all multi-cellular organisms to infection and injury. It is led on by a variety of signal transduction pathways tightly regulated and linked to other cellular events like apoptosis and proliferation. Strict regulation of this process is essential as errors can result in clinically relevant disorders like infection and sepsis, atherosclerotic disease and others. The large number of participating components, their dependencies and multiple stimuli make the analysis of this signalling network difficult. Therefore a Boolean (logical) model of inflammatory signal transduction pathways shall be developed based on the current published knowledge and own experimental data aiming at a holistic (systems oriented) view. One focus will be on regulatory interactions between network components under different input-output settings and prediction of signalling scenarios in knock-out experiments. The project aims at the prediction and verification of experimental data, the examination of the structure and hierarchy of the inflammation signalling networks and the relevance analysis of the contained components.
