Megalithic Osteology Project from the Late Neolithic Tombs of Lisbon

http://www.portanta.com/

Director of Program: Rui Boaventura, Archaeologist, Odivelas

Scientific Direction: Teresa Ferreira (Universidade de Coimbra) and Ana Maria Silva (Universidade de Coimbra)

Session Dates: June 16-July 4 and July 7 - July 25, 2008

The Megalithic Osteology Project from the Late Neolithic Tombs of Lisbon will use the osteological remains from several burials from the region of the Estremadura in Portugal. These collections have been stored at the Geological Museum. The internship will focus mainly on the skeletal remains from the Final Neolithic/Chalcolithic vaulted chamber tomb of Praia das Maçãs and the natural cave of Salemas that were excavated in the late 1960s and later housed in the Geological Museum though never thoroughly studied. The information obtained from these studies will be used to expand and enhance the knowledge of the Late Neolithic societies.

Students will be given more latitude and independent work loads in this internship program and are expected to be already familiar with the basic principals and methodologies of osteology and/or dental anthropology. Students will begin by cleaning, cataloging and inventorying the various collections which are comprised of hundreds of bones and teeth.

Participants will get the chance to work with collections with multiple individuals and will learn how to determine the minimum number of individuals, sex, age and pathologies in mass burial conditions. This internship will also deal with dental anthropology and morphology, the description and classification of teeth as well as the various pathologies that are evident in teeth.

Graduate students and undergraduates serious about pursuing a career in bioarchaeology, physical anthropology and archaeology are encouraged to apply. All applications will be considered. Minimum stay, 3 weeks.

Program fee with housing included: € 1,200 per 3 week session and €2,000 for 6 week session

Application deadline: June 1, 2008

Accomodations and tuition included in fees as well as a bus and metro pass. Meals and transportation are not covered.

Annual Symposium - Recent advances in membrane biochemistry

5—7 January 2011

Robinson College, Cambridge, UK

Earlybird registration deadline: 3 December 2010.

Registration will be available shortly.

Abstract submission deadline: 26 October 2010.

Abstract submission will be available shortly.

There are Student Travel Grants available for this meeting.

Oral communication slots are available at this meeting. All attendees, particularly young researchers, are invited to submit a poster abstract for consideration as an oral communication.

The proceedings of the meeting will be published as a stand-alone issue of Biochemical Society Transactions (online and in print) and a stand-alone volume of the online Symposia Series.

Symposium background
This symposium will highlight some of the recent advances in molecular membrane biochemistry. Membrane biology underpins a vast array of life processes such as bioenergetics, signalling and transport. In the last few years advances in this field has led to the development of large scale expression and purification of mammalian transmembrane proteins. This has then been paramount to enabling efficient crystallization and elucidation of the 3-dimensional structures of transmembrane proteins to occur.

In addition, other biophysical techniques have also been employed to further understand membrane protein structure, conformations, and interactions with other membrane components.

This symposia will focus on a number of key areas of current research advances, which will form the basis of 5 sessions:

1) Membrane protein expression and 3-dimensional structural analysis.

2) Examples of expression / structure analysis of membrane proteins which are of current interest.

3) Computer modelling of membrane protein structure, membrane protein folding and dynamics.

4) Lipid-protein interactions.

5) Membrane proteins in disease.

IVth European Conference of Medical Physics Advances in High Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging

The Conference is organised jointly by the European Federation of Organisations for Medical Physics (EFOMP), Italian Association of Medical Physics (AIFM), the European Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and Biology (ESMRMB) and the “S. Maria della Misericordia” University Hospital of Udine.

In order to support the training of medical physicists, the AIFM Medical Physics School “Caldirola” (Italy) in collaboration with ESMRMB, will organise a training course on Advanced Techniques in MR where theoretical and practical sessions on image and data processing will take place with the support of the most relevant manufacturers and developers.

You are kindly invited to join the Conference to breathe this European atmosphere, establish new relations and get to know the city of Udine, its history and pleasant natural surroundings.

EMBO Short-Term Fellowships

• About
• Eligibility

About

Short-Term Fellowships fund research visits of up to three months to laboratories in Europe and elsewhere in the world. The aim is to facilitate valuable collaborations with research groups applying techniques unavailable in their own laboratories. Short-Term Fellowships are not awarded for exchanges between two laboratories within the same country. Short-term Fellowships are intended for joint research work rather than consultations.

All applications should focus on the benefit to the home laboratory and involve movement between countries - one of which must be an EMBC Member State. (For non-EU applicants, the Short-Term Fellowships are for a fixed duration of 90 days). The fellowships cover travel plus subsistence of the fellow only and not of any dependents.

Eligibility

• Applicants can be scientists with less than ten years of professional experience since finishing their PhD degree.

• Applicants can be pre-doctoral scientists who have not yet completed a PhD degree (or equivalent). Candidates with little research experience have a lower priority.

• Short-Term Fellowships are awarded for exchanges between two laboratories in different countries.

• All applications must involve either a laboratory of origin or a receiving institute from one of the EMBC Member States.

Applications which are presented as a means of training in a technique rather than as a component of a research project tend to receive lower priority from reviewers.

EMBO does not consider applications for Short-Term Fellowships to prolong visits begun under other auspices, or as bridging fellowships between, or prior to, long term stays funded by EMBO or other organizations.

Applications for fellowships to attend courses, workshops, or symposia will not be considered.

Application

There is no deadline for applications, however applications should ideally be made about three months before the proposed starting date.
Please note: Applications received after the start of the visit will not be considered.

The application process is handled via the online application system.

The Receiving Institute Acceptance Form and two confidential Letters of Reference (see box to the right) must be sent to the EMBO Short-Term Fellowship office by mail.

Please read the Helpful notes for applicants before applying online.
