A PhD position is available at Rennes, France (collaboration between INRA-APBV (Yield under abiotic stress) and Cemagref (IRM-Food)). The project concerns in particular the update of the cellular and metabolic events which contribute to the reallocation of nitrogenous and carbon from senescing leaf tissues in order to define the mains determinants and to improve their efficiency. The ambition based on the two laboratories collaboration is to associate a fine analysis at the cellular level of the structural organization of leaf tissues by an original approach of NMR relaxometry with the concomitant description of the metabolic orientation of products stemming from organels and macromolecules degradation by metabolomic approaches. We will be also testing the validity of the NMR analysis as an efficient integrative tool to characterize senescing tissues and as an effective means of diagnostic and medium throughput phenotyping tool of stress conditions.
The project is highly interdisciplinary and will combine NMR for identification of water in different cell parts with cell biology techniques (non aqueous sub-cellular fractionnation, sub-cellular metabolic profiling, TEM, leaf senescence characterisation (molecular pysiological and biochemical markers).
Applications close - 15 Juin 2011.
Interested applicants should contact Dr Maja Musse (maja.musse@cemagref.fr) or Dr Laurent Leport (laurent.leport@univ-rennes1.fr) directly by submitting their CV.

Postdoctoral Position in biomolecular SSNMR spectroscopy in Grenoble (France)
Postdoctoral Position in biomolecular SSNMR spectroscopy in Grenoble (France)
The biomolecular NMR group at the Structural Biology Institute (IBS) in
Grenoble is looking for a highly motivated young researcher to join its team as
a post-doctoral researcher on a project funded by the French Research Funding
Agency ANR (project leader Paul Schanda). The project aims at the molecular
level understanding of the function and dynamics of large proteins, as well as
the development of novel solid-state NMR methods for studying dynamics. A
two-year contract is offered.

Position of NMR manager in Lille, France
Position of NMR manager in Lille, France
The laboratory of Structural and Functional Glycobiology (UGSF - CNRS UMR 8576) at the University of Lille, France, is looking for a research engineer to manage the liquid state part of the NMR Platform at the University. Composed of several Bruker spectrometers, including a 900MHz Avance III instrument with cryogenic probehead and a SampleJet, a 800MHz Avance III spectrometer for solid state and HRMAS NMR, the platform has the specificity within the national network of high-field NMR (www.tgir-rmn.org) of combining expertise in liquid and solid...

Post-doc position opening in Orleans, France
Post-doc position opening in Orleans, France
We are currently looking for a post-doc candidate in the context of an international US-French collaborative project focusing on the local structures around active heteroatoms in boro- and alumino-silicate materials for catalysis. It is a three-year project that started in January 2010 and is co-funded by the French Agence Nationale pour la recherche (ANR) and the US National Science Fundation (NSF).
The work of the selected candidate will mainly focus on determining the molecular structures of alumino- and boro-silicate materials that...
