A postdoctoral position in single molecule biophysics is available in the Messersmith group at Northwestern University. The overall goals of the research are to elucidate the molecular details of mussel adhesive protein adhesion (for example, see PNAS 2006, 103, 12999). We seek self-motivated individuals interested in a stimulating and interdisciplinary research environment where fundamental biophysics experiments inform the development of biologically inspired materials.

Several PhD studentship opportunities are available at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, for outstanding candidates.
Biofuels have much potential as a low greenhouse-gas replacement to fossil fuels. To realise this potential, internal combustion engines must be optimised for biofuel operation.
Applications are sought for PhD studentships to develop advanced Large Eddy Simulation models for IC engines running biofuels. Topics include:
* knock in ethanol and flex-fuel spark-ignition engines, * autoignition of ethanol stratified-charge compression ignition engines.
Both projects involve collaboration with leading experimental groups, and …
