Message-ID: <006d01c80b86$20f10a10$d64874c6@WillieLaptop1> Dear Colleagues, Please advertise this marine virology postdoc I have available at Bigelow. If you know anyone who may be interested please forward it to them. Sorry for any cross-postings. If you want to post it in your department let me know and I will send you a more colorful version! Kind Regards Willie Wilson PostDoc in Marine Molecular Biology / Virology A new NSF-funded postdoctoral position at the Bigelow Laboratory for Marine Sciences offers an enthusiastic and highly motivated scientist the exciting opportunity to work with us in a cutting edge, globally important and technologically advanced research area of marine genomics. Bigelow is an international center of excellence for microbial oceanography and holds the world's largest collection of phytoplankton cultures. Bigelow's research portfolio places particular emphasis on the use of molecular and post-genomic tools to understand the role of marine viruses in microbially driven biogeochemical processes. A Marine Molecular Biologist / Virologist is sought to develop and utilize a virus oligo-microarray from a recently sequenced marine algal virus. Transcription profiles from the virus and host genomes will be generated during in vitro and in situ infection experiments to look at the role of nutrient availability on infection. A single-cell genomics approach will also be developed to look at diversity of viruses from single infected cells from environmental samples. The candidate will be expected to participate in shore-based fieldwork in Norway (1-month). There may also be research cruise opportunities in the Gulf of Maine and the Atlantic Ocean therefore you must be willing to work flexible hours at sea, if required. We are looking for a research scientist interested in the role of viruses in marine ecosystems. Applicants must have a PhD or equivalent in either: virology, microbiology, molecular ecology and/or post-genomic technologies. Working experience of bioinformatics software will be a definite advantage. The appointment is a fixed-term position (up to 3 years). Informal inquiries can be made to Willie Wilson (wwilson@bigelow.org). Send application, to include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, names and contact information of three referees, via email to: jmckown@bigelow.org or by post to: John McKown, Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, P.O. B. 475, West Boothbay Harbor, ME 04575 (tel: 207-633-9600). Review of applications will start in the week beginning November 19th, 2007. The search will continue until the position is filled. Bigelow Laboratory is an equal opportunity employer. ----------------------------------------- Dr Willie Wilson Senior Research Scientist Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences 180 McKown Point Road POB 475 Maine 04575 USA Phone: (207)633-9666 (Office) (207)633-9600 (switchboard) Fax: (207)633-9641 EMail: wwilson@bigelow.org ----------------------------------------- From isa from fbio.uh.cu Thu Oct 11 14:47:46 2007 From: isa from fbio.uh.cu (isa@fbio.uh.cu) Date: Thu Oct 11 17:48:30 2007 Subject: [Protista] help about ciliates Message-ID: <1901.10.6.49.151.1192132066.squirrel@webmail.fbio.uh.cu> Hi I need information about the the Effects of Oil Pollution on Free?living Ciliates.Please any help will be great.
