Austria - University of Leoben PhD Studentship in Tribological Test Engineering and Surface Analysis

Introduction and Motivation:
Journal bearings and other constructional elements - like engine lubricants - in internal combustion engines, increasingly reach their loading limit. Pure empirical improvements, as conducted in the past, are not sufficient to fulfil the demands posed on new generations of engines and their components. In order to optimize the system journal bearing (materials and lubricants) based on scientific results we extend our research team by a

PhD-student in the fields of tribological test engineering and surface analysis

Tasks job description

• Assisting in optimizing the tribological test methods of the Chair of Mechanical Engineering
• Conduction of tribological experiments to visualize the system properties of interest (Formation of tribological boundary layers due to components of the lubricant)
• Performing additional damage analysis of the surface structure and the surface chemistry using light microscopy, laser confocal microscopy LEXT, SEM/EDX, Raman, AES, micro/nanoindentation,
• Interpretation of the results also using the assistance of scientific software tools
• Deducing tribological functional models of the processes taking place in the boundary layers

Due to the duration of the project (from 07/2008 to 12/2012) and due to the technical-scientific activities it is possible to compose a PhD-thesis at the University of Leoben.

Austria - St. Anna Childrens Cancer Research Institute Postdoc in Tumor Immunology

The Laboratory of Tumour Immunology at the St. Anna Childrens Cancer Research Institute (CCRI), Vienna, Austria, is accepting applications for the position of a postdoc/staff scientist in the area of

Tumour Immunology and Tumour Immune Therapy

focussing on molecular and genetic aspects of immune regulation by dendritic cells.

The CCRI is a multi-disciplinary research institute focusing on various aspects of cancer development, diagnosis, and treatment. The Laboratory of Tumour Immunology has been engaged in the study of the cellular and molecular biology of anti-tumour immunity for many years. In line with the CCRIs strong translational research focus, the Laboratory of Tumour Immunology developed a technology platform for anti-tumour immune therapy, which is now studied in clinical phase II trials. Our basic research projects aim at an understanding of the molecular biology and genetics of immune regulation by dendritic cells with particular emphasis on negative regulatory feedback loops, and exploiting this knowledge for cancer immune therapy.
