    Computational models of intracellular signalling and synaptic plasticity induction in neurons
    
    To form memory traces, the brain has to modulate the strengths of synaptic connections between pre- and postsynaptic neurons. The induction and maintenance of synaptic plasticity is based on complex intracellular signalling cascades that are triggered by precise temporal patterns of neuronal activity. The aim of this project is to study the intracellular signalling pathways that underlie synaptic plasticity at two different synapses in the cerebellum, a part of the brain that plays a crucial role in movement control and motor learning. The two synapses that will be investigated are the parallel fibre-Purkinje cell synapse, which exhibits long-term depression (LTD) and long-term potentiation (LTP), and the mossy fibre-cerebellar nucleus neuron synapse, which undergoes LTP. These types of plasticity are involved in simple forms of motor learning such as classical conditioning, and have recently been shown to be dependent on calcium-calmodulin kinase II (CaMKII). The project will involve extending existing models of intracellular signalling pathways in LTD induction by including CaMKII, and building a new model of intracellular signalling in cerebellar nucleus neurons. The models will be tested against experimental data from collaborators in the USA and the Netherlands, and will then be used to predict the effect of different spatio-temporal input patterns on LTP and LTD induction. The modelling results will contribute to understanding the role of LTP and LTD in cerebellar learning.
    
    The project will involve using simulation software such as NEURON (www.neuron.yale.edu), MOOSE (http://moose.sourceforge.net/) or GENESIS/kinetikit, (www.genesis-sim.org). The models will be made available in simulator independent NeuroML/SBML format. Although the projects require a keen interest in biology, no previous formal background in life sciences is required.

• Postdoc Position: Neural Circuit Analysis, Zurich
  • SMB Digest Vol 10, Issue 2 - January 15, 2010
    
    Postdoc position open at the Institute of Neuroinformatics in Zurich, Switzerland.
    
    Duration: 1 year min.
    
    The project consists of neural circuit analysis at the TEM level in Drosophila, taking the famous Merrit & Whitington 1995 paper* to synaptic resolution and with all local interneurons. The image data is already here, only brain power and a passion for neural circuits required.
    
    [data: http://www.ini.uzh.ch/~acardona/img/poster-0.25.png ]
    
    The data consists of a continuous set of 459 serial sections of a complete abdominal segment of the ventral nerve cord of Drosophila larva, imaged at a resolution of 4x4x50 nm. All synapses are visible; the arbors of sensory axons and the complete arborization of local interneurons are present in full.
    
    The results promise to be extraordinary. Preliminary data already gives great insight into the circuitry of a first order mechanosensory processing center -- and there are many more, and their interrelationships, to analyze.
    
    Do you know of any computer-savvy biologist looking for a postdoc? Or a computer scientist looking to analyse neural circuits?

    Two postdoctoral positions in phytoplankton traits and models of community structure
    
    We are looking for two postdoctoral researchers to develop trait-based approaches to plankton ecology. One position will focus on applying statistical approaches to relate traits to phylogenies, environmental gradients, and each other. The other position will develop trait-based mathematical models. Ideally these two postdocs will find ways to collaborate.
    
    Basic qualifications are a PhD in ecology, oceanography, limnology or related field and a strong interest in trait-based approaches and quantitative ecology. The first position requires familiarity with multivariate statistics, the second position requires modeling experience, preferably trait-based modeling approaches (e.g., adaptive dynamics). For both positions, knowledge of phytoplankton ecology, limnology, or oceanography is a plus. These positions are supported by a recently funded NSF grant "Phytoplankton Traits, Functional Groups and Community Organization: A Synthesis" and a grant from the James S. McDonnell Foundation, "Plankton Community Assembly: Theory and Practice."
    
    The postdocs will be based at the Kellogg Biological Station of Michigan State University (www.kbs.msu.edu). Each position is for one year with a possibility of renewal, given satisfactory performance. Send a cover letter describing your research interests and experience, current CV and names of 3 references to Elena Litchman (litchman@msu.edu) by January 31, 2010.

    Postdoctoral Position on modelling the dynamics of infectious diseases and immune responses
    
    Department of Microbiology, University of Tennessee, Knoxville
    
    A post-doctoral position is available in the laboratory of Vitaly V. Ganusov in the Department of Microbiology at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville in the area of modeling within-host dynamics of viral infections and immune responses. Our laboratory is currently focuses on studying the role of T cell responses, mainly CD8 T cell responses, in the control of growth viral infections in mammalian hosts. Despite great advances in biology and medicine in controlling infectious diseases with antibiotics and vaccines we are still have a limited understanding how pathogens cause the disease and how immune responses control pathogen growth within the host. Great insights have been gained into the dynamics of human immunodeficiency virus in infected patients by combining analysis of experimental data with mathematical models. In our laboratory we adopt a similar philosophy and by combining experimental data with mathematical models we investigate CD8 T cells are involved in control of the dynamics of viral infections in mice and humans. The role of CD8 T cells in the control of many viral infections of mice is well established since the primary job of these T cells is to kill virus-infected cells. However, many quantitative aspects of CD8 T cell biology are poorly understood. In close collaboration with experimental laboratories in the US, Australia and Europe we investigate how CD8 T cell responses are generated during viral infections (programming), how CD8 T cells control viral growth within the host (effector functions), how immunological memory is formed during an infection (differentiation), and how it is lost over time (maintenance). The main focus of our research is on commonly used models of viral infections in mice (lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), influenza virus, polyoma virus and ectromelia virus), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection of humans, and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) in macaques.
    
    Salary is on the NIH scale with full University of Tennessee employee fringe benefits. The position will be available starting March/April 2010 or later for 2 years. Extensions will be possible depending on the availability of funds. To apply, please send your CV that has at least 3 reference contacts to vitaly.ganusov@gmail.com.
