Position available immediately in Pascal Therond laboratory to functionally characterize Hedgehog secretion and spreading in Drosophila. The project aims to gain insight into the secretion of the Hedgehog protein family using cell biology and genetic technics. The Hedgehog proteins are the only metazoan proteins known to possess a covalently-linked cholesterol moiety. We have developped a combination of genome-wide RNAi screen and in vivo imaging to investigate its mode of release and identified a new cellular machinery involved in Hedgehog secretion and spreading.

Knowledge of and experience in fly genetics, cell biology and/or optic microscopy are necessary. The position is funded for 2-3 years in duration, starting early 2012. The candidates must have a Ph.D. degree, and can be nationals of any country.

Compensation range from 2300 to 2900 euros.

The European Space Agency is proud to announce a new edition of the ‘Drop Your Thesis!’ programme. Through this programme, a team of Master/PhD students will be given the opportunity to carry out a microgravity experiment, as part of their syllabus, in the ZARM Drop Tower Facility, in Bremen, Germany.

This facility is one of the most sophisticated and high-quality research centres of its kind in Europe and boasts a 146 m high tower that provides experiments with up to 9.3 s of microgravity.

The deadline to submit the experiment proposals is 13 February 2012.

The selected team will perform its experiment during ESA’s fourth Drop your Thesis! campaign, to be held during the autumn of 2012.

All the information for this programme can be found on www.esa.int/education.

For any further information, please do no hesitate to contact us through the e-mail dropyourthesis@esa.int.
