M.Sc. in Theoretical Epidemiology - Memorial University of
Newfoundland.
The Hurford and Tahlan laboratories at Memorial University (Canada)
are recruiting 1 M.Sc. student to design and perform experiments, and
to develop models and analyze data for a host-parasite model system.
The experimental system involves Klebsiella sp. infection of nematodes.
The theoretical models used to describe this system will consider
coinfection and disease-induced mortality for different Klebsiella
strains.

Systems Biology of G Protein Signaling
The University of North Carolina, Schools of Medicine and Arts and
Sciences Heterotrimeric G proteins serve as a signaling nexus in a
myriad of normal and diseased cell states. Many extracellular signals
(e.g. hormones, peptides, cytokines, lights) are perceived by 7-
transmembrane receptors, often referred to as G protein coupled
receptors, that stimulate the activation state of the cytoplasmic G
protein complex. Interestingly, the majority of non-animal cells
(protists, fungi, plants, amoeba and many others) bind GTP without
the need for a GPCR. This recent discovery opens up new opportunities
to find novel mechanisms that regulate G protein signaling. This
project tightly integrates experimental investigations with
mathematical modeling to discover and characterize novel signaling
motifs that regulate pathway activity in the glucose sensing system of
Arabidopsis. The project is a continuation of a well established
collaboration between the labs of Drs. Alan Jones and Tim Elston
(Fu, et al 2014 Cell 156:1084-1095). The ideal applicant will have
experience with deterministic and stochastic modeling methods, and a
willingness to learn the experimental techniques needed to test
their mathematical models. Interested individuals should contact Tim
Elston: timothy_elston@med.unc.edu and Alan Jones: alan_jones@unc.edu
