Description de l'offre

Contrairement aux cellules cycliques, les cellules multiciliées (MCC) évitent le processus archétypique de duplication des centrosomes pour former une centaine de centrioles à partir desquels les cils mobiles se développent et battent, créant des flux de fluides essentiels aux processus physiologiques tels que la circulation du liquide céphalo-rachidien, les voies respiratoires muco-ciliaires. clairance ou transport des ovules. Des défauts d’amplification centriole du MCC sont associés à des pathologies graves telles que l’hydrocéphalie, l’insuffisance pulmonaire irréversible et la stérilité. Cependant, les mécanismes à l’origine de l’amplification centriole sont encore largement inconnus. À l’aide d’un test de culture de MCC de cerveau de souris et de techniques d’imagerie haute résolution de cellule unique, le laboratoire hôte a dévoilé pour la première fois la dynamique de l’amplification centriole. Ils ont notamment révélé que de nouveaux centrioles sont amplifiés à partir du centriole centrosomal fille immature, mettant ainsi en évidence une nouvelle asymétrie des centrosomes. L'objectif du présent projet est de comprendre les mécanismes à l'origine de cette nouvelle asymétrie centrosomique, donnant naissance à l'amplification centriole dans le MCC. Dans ce contexte, je propose une approche multidisciplinaire pour (i) définir le rôle des centrioles centrosomales dans l'amplification des centrioles et (ii) identifier les acteurs moléculaires contrôlant le processus. Les protéines candidates pourraient alors représenter de nouvelles cibles pour contourner l’amplification centriole altérée rencontrée dans les ciliopathies mobiles.

Description of the research project

Railway transportation is generally regarded as a sustainable and attractive mode of transportation in Europe. To keep (inter)national railway systems operating in a reliable and cost-effective manner in the present as well as the future, the development and implementation of novel technologies is needed. Automated Train Operations (ATO) is an example off such a technology where (parts of) train operations are automated to enable novel ways of operating and optimizing train operations.

For novel technologies such as ATO to be considered for implementation, a good understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of the technology are needed, as well as the circumstances under which the technology is applied. ATO relies on the development and gradual implementation of several state-of-the-art sensing, signaling and safety technologies for rolling stock and railway infrastructure in multiple European countries. Assessing the value of such large-scale socio-technical changes is not straightforward, given the technical complexity, broad spectrum of tangible and intangible costs and benefits, and the need to account for a wide range of stakeholder needs. The PhD project focuses on the development of generalizable methods and tools for valuating novel railway technologies such as ATO. This includes research on (1) How tangible and intangible costs and benefits can be best modelled and evaluated; (2) How the valuation models and assessments can be co-developed in close collaboration with specialists from international railway organizations; (3) How complexities and uncertainties in such models and evaluations can be managed to arrive at a clear and succinct result; (4) How the process of developing these evaluations can be facilitated; And (5) Providing recommendations for the development of evaluation of migration strategies for the transition to more autonomous forms of railway operations

Description of the research project

In the rapidly evolving landscape of electricity generation and distribution, enhancing the capacity of existing infrastructure is vital. The IDLEC project at the University of Twente, in collaboration with the company Liander, aims to address this need by exploring ways to safely increase the dynamic load capacity of the electricity grid, from transformers and substations to underground cables. The synergy of the research groups ET-DBM (Dynamics Based Maintenance) and ET-AMME (Asset Management and Maintenance Engineering) will be leveraged. The ET-DBM group will focus on the physics of failures and will design the algorithms for real-time monitoring systems, while ET-AMME will work on the asset management ensuring optimal deployment and utilization of the developed methods.

The Challenge

The goal of this research is to develop a framework (methods, models, monitoring systems) that enables Liander to dynamically load existing infrastructure components by briefly operating them above their nominal design capacity in situations where this can be safely achieved. Setting dynamic thresholds and implementing real-time monitoring of key performance parameters such as current and temperature are crucial in managing the degradation over the life cycle.

In addition, a health monitoring plan is needed to implement maintenance policies for dynamic loading in a timely manner this part of the research is more focused on asset management and how to organize Condition based Maintenance in cross functional teams.

The department of Public Law and Governance (PLG) is looking for 2 PhD candidates who will be working within the project ‘Causal Pattern Analysis of Economic Sovereignty’ (CaPANES), which is funded by the European Research Council (ERC Consolidator Grant 2021). PLG is a large, diverse and interdisciplinary department, home to nearly 130 academic staff and a range of legal and social science disciplines. You will develop and grow in research, both individually and as part of a team of fourteen legal historians. As PhD candidate in legal history, you will analyze the historical use of sovereignty concepts in cities of commerce. The CaPANES project hypothesizes that in the early modern period cities of commerce, even within states, had foreign relations of their own and made strategic use of legal terms that defined their economic sovereignty. The CaPANES project pursues legal-historical analysis of both the domestic context of cities of commerce and of their interactions with other cities and states. The CaPANES combines qualitative and quantitative methods (social network analysis, modelling), and aims to yield conclusions that are relevant also for discussions on present-day economic sovereignty. The PhD candidates will analyze the interactions between six cities of commerce (Florence, Toulouse, Rouen, Bruges, Southampton and Lübeck). The first PhD position is concerned with Bruges, Southampton and Florence (c. 1400-c. 1520), the second PhD position with Rouen, Lübeck and Toulouse (c. 1400-c. 1550). 20% of the appointment may be dedicated to teaching and/or administration.

Area of research: PHD Thesis Part-Time Suitability: The position is suitable for part-time employment. Job description:PhD position in "Seasonally resolved ecophysiology of Arctic phytoplankton assemblages under global warming" (m/f/d) Background The Arctic is warming more than twice as fast as the global average, which changes ecosystem phenology and productivity. Still, our understanding of Arctic ecological processes is based predominantly on studies conducted during spring and summer, so that many seasonal aspects (e.g. life-cycling, overwintering) and their sensitivity to global change are still poorly understood. The YESSS project aims at better understanding the responses of Arctic coastal ecosystems and their key species to warming, by means of weekly assessments of oceanographic and biological ‘core’ parameters. These in-situ observations are complemented with dedicated season-specific experiments on temperature responses of key species from multiple trophic levels (phytoplankton, seaweeds, mollusks, echinoderms and fish). This PhD project will investigate the interaction between environmental conditions and seasonal variations in key traits of Arctic natural phytoplankton assemblages. Further, seasonally-resolved experiments on the temperature sensitivity of phytoplankton in different successional and physiological stages (e.g. pre-bloom, spring bloom, post-bloom, overwintering) will be conducted to understand the effects of Arctic warming and to identify physiological bottlenecks and detect potential tipping points. Tasks
  • Join five >6 week-long expeditions to a coastal Arctic research station in a small team with a diverse range of tasks
  • Conduct weekly in-situ sampling from small boats in all seasons
  • Plan, conduct and analyze seasonally-resolved experiments on the thermal scope of Arctic natural phytoplankton assemblages
  • Perform physiological assays with natural phytoplankton assemblages to measure rates of important processes (e.g. primary production, respiration, grazing losses)
  • Work in a larger consortium to understand which seasons are most sensitive to climate change effects on Arctic coastal ecosystem functioning
  • Present your finding on international conference and publish in peer-reviewed journals
Requirements
  • M.Sc. degree in marine biology, biological oceanography or related fields
  • Background in phytoplankton research, either experimental or field work
  • Physical fitness, personal aptitude and willingness for frequent and long research expeditions to the Arctic
  • Particularly high levels of flexibility, resilience and team spirit
  • Excellent spoken and written English skills
Further Information The AWI is characterised by The AWI is characterised by
  • our scientific success - excellent research
  • collaboration and cooperation - intra-institute, national and international, interdisciplinary
  • opportunities to develop – on the job and towards other positions
  • an international environment – everyday contacts with people from all over the world
