主题：【分享】post doc positions FYI

A postdoctoral position is open in the group of Peter McBreen in the
Department of Chemistry, Université Laval, Québec City, Canada. The
objective of the project is to understand how to fine tune olefin
metathesis and enantioselective reactions on metal, metal carbide and
nanoparticle surfaces. The laboratory is equipped for VT-STM, XPS,
HREELS and RAIRS measurements. Previous hands-on experience with surface
spectroscopy and particularly UHV-STM is essential. The starting date
for the position is flexible but ideally it should be before October
2009. The initial appointment is for one year, renewable for one or two
years.

For further information, please contact peter.mcbreen@chm.ulaval.ca
<mailto:peter.mcbreen@chm.ulaval.ca>. Interested candidates should send
their CV, publication record and a list of three people who can provide
letters of reference.

PhD (or master) project #1:

Project title and requirements: Development and validation of scaffolds and
bioreactor culture methods to study parameters affecting the formation of
functional micro-vessel networks (angiogenesis) to support fluid flow in
vitro with the aim to construct vascularised tissue substitutes.

Candidates must have a background in biochemistry, biology, biomaterials,
physic engineering, or chemical engineering. Candidates must be curious,
creative, rigorous, and highly motivated. Candidates will gain knowledge in
surface chemistry and physics, colloidal science, biomaterials, material
science, tissue engineering, and cell culture.
