We are looking for a
postdoctoral fellow in cardiovascular biology
. The position is immediately available, initially for one year with possibility of prolongation.
Our research group is studying the role of the endocannabinoid system in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease of the arteries that is responsible for the major mortality causes, i.e. ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular disease. To investigate the role of endocannabinoids, cannabinoid receptors and a potential therapeutic benefit of pharmacological intervention with cannabinoids, we use both genetic as well as pharmacological approaches.

The Commonwealth Scholarship Commission is a non-departmental public body, responsible for delivering the UK’s contribution to the Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan. It achieves this through the provision of (mainly postgraduate) scholarships and mid-career fellowships to some 700 individuals from throughout the Commonwealth each year. The Commission also nominates UK candidates to take up awards made by other Commonwealth countries. It receives funding from the Department for International Development, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Scottish Executive, and most UK universities.

Postdoctoral Research Fellowships In Cosmology For International Students At The University of Oslo 2010 In Norway
Description:
The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has appointed the cosmology group of the Institute as an emerging top-tier research group. The participation in the European Space Agency’s flagship mission PLANCK and the ground based CMB polarization experiment QUIET, and a strong effort in fundamental cosmological theory, act as two foci for consolidating the group and developing it further to become one of Norway’s internationally most visible research groups in the physical sciences.The position is connected to the project ”Cosmological Probes of Modified Gravity”, funded by the Research Council of Norway. The successful applicant is expected to carry out research on cosmological structure formation within theories of gravity beyond General Relativity. The research will focus on both the linear and nonlinear regime of structure formation in the framework of scalar-tensor theories, vector-tensor theories and brane world models. It may involve testing these alternatives to dark energy using N-body simulations and/or lensing and/or the CMB and matter power spectra among others.

A PhD scholarship is available in the Nano Optics group at the Institute of Applied Physics at Friedrich-Schiller-Universität-Jena (FSU) to investigate optical nonlinearities in lithium niobate photonic crystals.
Lithium niobate, commonly used in optics and telecom due to its transparency in a wide wavelength range and due to its high nonlinearities, has only recently been proposed as a suitable material for photonic crystal based devices. The reason for this is that its high resistivity towards different etching techniques makes its nanostructuring a difficult task.
