PhD opportunity, University Paris 6
Autonomous voltametric and potentiometric sensors: toward long-term monitoring of sulphur dynamics at redox-interfaces
Under the frame of the European Community Initial Training Network SENSENET, we are seeking a candidate for a PhD with a background in analytical chemistry/marine chemistry/ biogeochemistry, or sensor development in environmental science and technology.
The PhD will be hosted at the Oceanological Observatory of Banyuls-sur-Mer, a marine station from the University of Pierre et Marie Curie-Paris 6 (UPMC) (http://www.obs-banyuls.fr). Candidate should be preferentially EC-resident (excluding French) and should have stayed less than 9 months in France in the past 5 years.
The project aims to further develop in situ electrochemical methods for the monitoring of deep and shallow marine environments. Electrochemical techniques have proven to be particularly relevant for the monitoring of dynamic redox interfaces (e.g.: sulphidic sediments associated with hydrothermal vents, methane seeps or organic matter degradation), but they still need improvement for long-term use.
The work will be based on recently validated in situ autonomous sensors for reduced sulphur species. The objective is to improve current voltammetric and potentiometric methods and electrode design to optimize measurement temporal stability. Validation of the methods will be performed on field-test stations at variable depth. Implementation of the sensor in various sulphide-rich marine environments (mangrove swamp, shallow waters sediments in the Baltic and deep-sea hydrothermal environments) is also planned.
The three year grant is to be started from Sept. 1, 2009. The position will be open until a candidate is retained. Enquiries and applications can be made to Dr Nadine Le Bris (lebris@obs-banyuls.fr).

Environmental Scientist III
Utah’s Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Seeks a Clean Lakes and Wetlands Program Coordinator
Salary: $27.63 - $29.17/hour ($57,470 - $60,674/annum)
To Apply: https://statejobs.utah.gov (job #19311)
We are seeking someone to oversee DWQ’s Clean Lakes and Wetlands Program. This is an exciting opportunity for a self-motivated individual with an interest in both applied science and policy. The ideal candidate for this job will have an extensive background in lentic ecology, particularly with regard to ecosystem processes. Also, given the regulatory role of DWQ, candidates should have an extensive understanding of how human activities affect the support of biological and recreation uses, and the ability to interpret water quality indicators to determine the extent to which these uses are met. The person in this position will serve as the Division expert in limnology with specific job activities that include: conducting lake/reservoir assessments, development of monitoring designs, modeling lake processes to develop site-specific standards, development of numeric nutrient criteria for lakes/reservoirs, development of a wetland monitoring and assessment program, and planning efficient and effective remediation programs. Given the eclectic nature of job activities, this position inherently requires close collaboration with other scientists both within and outside of DWQ.
A few examples of broad, but interesting, questions we are trying to address:
Are current conditions in the Great Salt Lake human-caused or are they simply indicative of the fact that it is a hypersaline, terminal waterbody with unique biogeochemical processes?
How can we best refine aquatic life beneficial use classes and assessment methods in reservoirs to continue protection, but accounts for the use of these waters for water distribution?
What lake or reservoir physical and chemical characteristics are most likely to result in mercury fish tissue contamination? Can this knowledge be used to generate lake-specific remediation plans?
How can we most effectively assess the quality of Utah’s wetlands? How can we use a watershed-based framework to address key problems that we identify?
Job Characteristics
The person in this position serves as the Division’s technical expert in lentic ecology and uses their knowledge to inform management decisions made throughout numerous water quality programs. Specific job responsibilities are diverse and daily tasks will vary depending on DWQ priorities. Examples of specific tasks conducted in this job are identified by water quality program below:
Assessing the current condition and water quality trends of lakes/reservoirs (303d/305b)
Compiles monitoring data and analyzes the information to determine beneficial uses support; summaries assessment results biennially for the Integrated Report, develops and implements assessment methods; evaluates causes of impairment; develops and implements a program for assessing the condition of wetlands; conducts field evaluations of impaired waters; designs efficient and effective monitoring methods.
Water Quality Standards
Assists with the development of new or revised standards; conducts research to provide scientific rationale for changes to existing standards; develops new numeric standards for lakes and reservoirs; makes recommendations about appropriate beneficial uses for lakes, reservoirs and wetlands; writes grants as appropriate to fund research; creates models to better understand site-specific processes in lakes/reservoirs; practices effective project management for all research activities; promotes opportunities for collaborative research.
Nonpoint Source (319) Program

Salary: $27.63 - $29.17/hour ($57,470 - $60,674/annum)
To Apply: https://statejobs.utah.gov (job #19311)
We are seeking someone to oversee DWQ’s Clean Lakes and Wetlands Program. This is an exciting opportunity for a self-motivated individual with an interest in both applied science and policy. The ideal candidate for this job will have an extensive background in lentic ecology, particularly with regard to ecosystem processes. Also, given the regulatory role of DWQ, candidates should have an extensive understanding of how human activities affect the support of biological and recreation uses, and the ability to interpret water quality indicators to determine the extent to which these uses are met. The person in this position will serve as the Division expert in limnology with specific job activities that include: conducting lake/reservoir assessments, development of monitoring designs, modeling lake processes to develop site-specific standards, development of numeric nutrient criteria for lakes/reservoirs, development of a wetland monitoring and assessment program, and planning efficient and effective remediation programs. Given the eclectic nature of job activities, this position inherently requires close collaboration with other scientists both within and outside of DWQ.
A few examples of broad, but interesting, questions we are trying to address:
Are current conditions in the Great Salt Lake human-caused or are they simply indicative of the fact that it is a hypersaline, terminal waterbody with unique biogeochemical processes?
How can we best refine aquatic life beneficial use classes and assessment methods in reservoirs to continue protection, but accounts for the use of these waters for water distribution?
What lake or reservoir physical and chemical characteristics are most likely to result in mercury fish tissue contamination? Can this knowledge be used to generate lake-specific remediation plans?
How can we most effectively assess the quality of Utah’s wetlands? How can we use a watershed-based framework to address key problems that we identify?
Job Characteristics
The person in this position serves as the Division’s technical expert in lentic ecology and uses their knowledge to inform management decisions made throughout numerous water quality programs. Specific job responsibilities are diverse and daily tasks will vary depending on DWQ priorities. Examples of specific tasks conducted in this job are identified by water quality program below:
Assessing the current condition and water quality trends of lakes/reservoirs (303d/305b)
Compiles monitoring data and analyzes the information to determine beneficial uses support; summaries assessment results biennially for the Integrated Report, develops and implements assessment methods; evaluates causes of impairment; develops and implements a program for assessing the condition of wetlands; conducts field evaluations of impaired waters; designs efficient and effective monitoring methods.
Water Quality Standards
Assists with the development of new or revised standards; conducts research to provide scientific rationale for changes to existing standards; develops new numeric standards for lakes and reservoirs; makes recommendations about appropriate beneficial uses for lakes, reservoirs and wetlands; writes grants as appropriate to fund research; creates models to better understand site-specific processes in lakes/reservoirs; practices effective project management for all research activities; promotes opportunities for collaborative research.

Postdoc Fellowships in Fundamental Immunology, GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals, Belgium
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals, a worldwide leader in vaccine development, is committed to innovation especially in the field of adjuvant science and human immunology. In this context, GSK Biologicals intends to initiate post-doctoral fellowships (2 years) at its Research Department of Fundamental Immunology in Rixensart, Belgium.
The goal of this program is to investigate the mode of action of adjuvants, to design innovative approach to target antigen and to develop predictive in vitro human models that recapitulate the human response to adjuvanted vaccines. Biomarkers of vaccine efficacy and safety are also in the scope of the program.
Specifically, 3 areas of research are considered:
1. Immune and stress sensors involved in the induction of immune responses by adjuvants (Project Leader A. Didierlaurent)
The aim of this project is to better define the determinants of the innate pathways induced by immunostimulants that are crucial for their adjuvant properties. [Ref. GSK_Innate-Sensor_09]
2. Improving antigen formulation through antigen targeting to relevant immune cells including DCs (Project Leader A. Elouahabi)
Different vectorization strategies should be tested including conjugation of antigens to specific ligands and/or using antigen delivery vehicles such as functionalized nanoparticles and microparticles. [Ref. GSK_Ag-Del_09]
3. Development of in vitro human models predicting in vivo responses in humans (Project Leader R. Van Der Most)
This project aims to develop in vitro models that can recapitulate innate and adaptative responses to vaccines. [Ref. GSK_PredImmune_09]
Applicants should hold a PhD in immunology, biochemistry, biophysics (Project Ref GSK_Ag-Del_09) or any related field (e.g. innate immunity, vaccinology, adjuvant technology). Technical expertise with flow cytometry, confocal microscopy, signalling, and cell culture would be appreciated.
The program will be funded by GSK Biologicals in collaboration with the Government of Wallonia or by grants of the European Marie-Curie program. Post-doc fellowships could start as soon as September 2009.
Candidates are invited to send their CV, a cover letter explaining their motivation and the project reference by e-mail to maryline.bauthier[ at ]gskbio.com by May 30, 2009. Interviews and selection of candidates will be made by June 30 at the latest.
All questions regarding the eligibility and the administrative context of the fellowships can be sent to francoise.javaux[ at ]gskbio.com

PhD Scholarship in Electronic Engineering, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
The Electronic Instrumentation research group at Victoria University of Wellington was recently awarded funds for the development of new Nuclear Magnetic Resonance technologies. We are now looking for a suitable PhD student to assist with this work. The research grant provides a three year NZ $27,000 per annum tax free scholarship as well as tuition fees.
The Project
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance is a relatively new sensing technology that has yet to be applied to the everyday world. One of the barriers to adoption is the complexity of the method and the sophistication, size and cost of the supporting electronics. The aim of this project is to continue the development of compact high performance systems by taking advantage of new FPGA, sampling and signal processing technologies. More specifically we wish to design a high performance band-pass sampling digital NMR receiver where traditional RF techniques are replaced by new signal processing methods. The student will be required to research and design stable and low jitter frequency references for wide band analogue to digital conversion and to research, design, model and implement optimal digital receiver architectures for NMR applications. The work will be undertaken within the School of Engineering and Computer Science but with close collaboration with Professor Paul Callaghan’s NMR group in the School of Physical and Chemical Sciences and Magritek Ltd.
The Student
Applicants are invited from excellent and enthusiastic students wishing to undertake a PhD in this area. A good background in analogue and digital electronic hardware design, FPGA programming, embedded programming and digital signal processing is desired. Students should have a first class Honours or a Masters degree in electronics. Applications from both domestic and international students are invited.
