The Department of Biology at McGill University invites
applications for a tenure-track position at the ASSISTANT
PROFESSOR level in PLANT MOLECULAR BIOLOGY.  The Department seeks
candidates who have demonstrated research ability in the
identification, isolation, and characterization of genes
governing physiological and/or developmental phenomena in a
genetically well characterized system.  We are particularly
interested in filling the position with a plant molecular
biologist, but applications from individuals working in other
areas of molecular biology will be considered.

The successful applicant will join a large (40 full-time faculty)
and dynamic department with research strengths in cellular,
molecular, and developmental biology, ecology, and neurobiology.
The Department also has excellent technical facilities, including
centres for photography, light and electron microscopy,
biotechnology, and field stations.

Applicants should hold the Ph.D. degree in biology or a related
field, and demonstrate capacity for independent research.  Duties
will include carrying out research and participating in teaching
of undergraduate- and/or graduate-level courses in cell and
molecular biology.  The position is available beginning 1
September, 1993.

Please send CV, a statement of research interests, and
representative reprints.  Request three letters of reference.
All materials should arrive by November 30, 1992.  Send to:

             EMBL DATA LIBRARY PHD STUDENTSHIP IN BIOINFORMATICS



EMBL PhD PROGRAMME

The EMBL PhD Programme provides training and research opportunities
primarily for European university graduates who wish to work towards a
PhD at EMBL Heidelberg. The typical duration of a PhD thesis at EMBL
is 3-4 years, and students are supported either by EMBL predoctoral
fellowships or by non-EMBL fellowships. 


THE GROUP

The EMBL Data Library performs research into a variety of
Bioinformatics problems. In particular, we are interested in
biological databases, their design and integration, ways to integrate
and access them via networks, the analysis of information stored
within them, knowledge based systems for more natural and intelligent
querying and so forth. These areas will become increasingly important
in the forthcoming era of genome analysis. At the same time, the EMBL
DL is also a production environment in the sense that it provides
services to the scientific community. Therefore, solutions that arise
are often put to work: they do not stagnate as "theoretically
interesting but..". Biology is proving a rich source of problems for
both mathematics and computing. Applying solutions from those fields
to biology requires people who have their feet in two (or more) camps.

The research group is small but growing and presently includes Drs
Peter R. Sibbald, Rainer Fuchs and Desmond Higgins.


QUALIFICATIONS

Ideally, you will have a good first degree in Computer Science or
Mathematics. Alternatively, you might have a degree in Biology and
have gained substantial computer expertise elsewhere. You may have a
Master's degree as well. Computer literacy is very important. An
understanding or at least appreciation of biology would be
advantageous. 


DEADLINE & APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Additional information and application forms can be obtained from EMBL.
Applications, including letters of reference, must be returned by the end
of January, 1993. You can contact us by electronic mail or paper mail:

Dr. Peter R. Sibbald, EMBL, Meyerhofstr. 1, W-6900 Heidelberg, Germany.
E-mail: Sibbald@EMBL-Heidelberg.DE

Please be sure to include your name, paper mail address, phone number 
and fax number if you have one.

Plant explorer D.D. Soejarto the Field Museum of Natural History at the
University of Chicago has been collecting plant materials from the
Malaysian rainforest and examining them for medicinal properties.  

The good news:  a natural substance, calanolide, in the tree Calophyllum
langerum blocks the effect of AZT-resistant HIV-1 without great toxicity
to the human cell.  

The bad news: When Soejarto returned to the collecting site, the tree was
gone.

Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) is normally accepted as the
region 400nm (blue) to 700nm (red) of the visible light spectrum.

Incandescent filament (light) bulbs emit a continuous 'black-body'
spectrum but the 'colour' temperature of the bulb determines the
spectrum radiated.  This is determined by the heat of the filament.

A problem with (any) incandescent bulb is the amount of heat generated
for the light to appear 'white'.  The quantum flux in the infra-red is
HUGE in comparison to the energy emitted as visible light.

I used a mixture of fluorescent tubes ('daylight' phosphor) to balance
up the light emitted by tungsten filament bulbs, or quartz-halogen
metal halide discharge lamps when high light intensity was required
(needed 5cm waterbath to soak up some of the infra-red).

I tend to agree in that I'm skeptical, but I think an important factor that
may not be included in some of the theoretical and experimental work is the
heat exchange that occurrs from leaf to atmosphere.  To take the debate full
circle, could the relative size of individual stomata have an effect on heat
exchange?  This could also be way out of whack since I'm not familiar enough
with the literature.
