Several post-doctoral positions are available at the recently established Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) in Okinawa, Japan, in the laboratory of Dr. Mary Ann Price. The major interest of the Price lab is the mechanisms cells use to decode extracellular signals during development. The current focus of the lab is Hedgehog signal transduction, an important developmental signalling pathway increasingly recognized for its role in human disease, and in particular the regulation of Ci, the key transcription factor on the pathway. Her laboratory uses a variety of approaches to address questions in this field, including biochemistry and mass spectrometry on cultured cells, molecular biology, imaging, and Drosophila genetics (for more information, please see http://www.oist.jp/).Applicants must have a PhD or MD with equivalent research experience. Proficiency in oral and written English is essential.

The CDVP is seeking a MSc/PhD research student to join the “iCLIPS: Integrating Context through Annotation and Linking in Information Retrieval for Personal Information Archives” project.
Developments in digital data capture and storage mean that it will soon be possible to archive one’s entire life experiences in personal information archives, or human digital memories (HDMs). Current search engines for the World Wide Web output document lists ranked by combining measures based on the Web’s link structure and a match between document contents and search requests. The absence of links and lower quality of HDM document contents means that enhanced information retrieval methods are required to enable effective searching and location of interesting and useful material from within these archives. iCLIPs is concerned with the development of novel search methods for these collections. The project requires study of both information retrieval algorithms and the exploration and modelling of relevant human memory processes in order to facilitate the design of retrieval methods which support user needs.
