POSTDOCTORAL and PhD POSITIONS IN DOMESTICATION OF EUROPEAN LOBSTER
The "NTNU Lobster Domestication Project" invites applications for three positions, one three-year PhD scholarship with possibilities for an additional year as a teaching assistant if feasible (NT-49/13) and one two-year Postdoctoral fellowship at the Department of Engineering Cybernetics (NT-48/13), and one two-year Postdoctoral fellowship at the Department of Biology (NT-47/13).
The overall goal of the project is to establish the foundations for a profitable and robust technology for industrial scale mass rearing of the European lobster. This highly interdisciplinary project is part of the programme NTNU Biotechnology - the Confluence of Life Sciences, Mathematical Sciences and Engineering. It involves behavioural biology, neuro-endocrinology, genome sequencing, bioinformatics, high-throughput phenotyping through advanced control engineering, computer vision, stem cell culture and cell fate induction, and 3D Lab-on-a-Chip tissue culture technology.
We are looking for highly qualified and motivated candidates to conduct fundamental scientific research. The successful applicants have outstanding academic skills in the disciplines outlined (links below) and must be able to demonstrate the knowledge and motivation required to undertake a multidisciplinary-oriented postdoctoral study at NTNU.
1 two-year Postdoctoral fellowship "Behavioural phenotyping of European lobster" (Dept. of Biology)
1 two-year Postdoctoral fellowship "Automation system for rearing and high-throughput behavioural phenotyping of European lobster" (Department of Engineering Cybernetics)
1 three-year PhD scholarship "Automation system for rearing and high-throughput behavioural phenotyping of European lobster" (Department of Engineering Cybernetics)
Application deadlines for all positions: 2 June 2013.

Op 17 mei organiseert Aqua-Erf (KAHO St.-Lieven) een studiedag rond de ecologie, aquaristiek en aquacultuur van rivierkreeften in kader van het PWOproject “Technische en economische evaluatie van de productie van Europese rivierkreeften (Astacus astacus) in recirculatiesystemen:diversificatiekansen voor landbouwers”

The AE2013 theme - Making Sense of Science - will focus on knowledge management to support technological development and innovation. Making sense of science implies setting priorities for knowledge generation; using the best people and infrastructure to create the knowledge and using the most suitable communication channels to ensure maximum impact of the results for all the different players in the value chain as well as for the end users. The AE2013 Plenary sessions will provide delegates of concrete examples in various sectors and submission of abstracts for the parallel sessions will focus on how the knowledge generated will impact the sector.

AE2013 will target all persons and institutions engaged and/or interested in aquaculture. AE2013 will be held in Trondheim, Norway from August 9-12, 2013 and just prior to the AQUA NOR 2013 Exhibition (August 13-16, 2013).
