Postdoctoral Position, INRS-ETE, University of Quebec, Canada
July 9, 2009POST-DOCTORAL POSITION
CONTEXT:
The fruit processing industry is experiencing a surge in its growth with Quebec ranked tenth in North America. The growth has generated huge quantities of “fruit pomace” as solid waste (25–30% of the total processed fruits) obtained after the extraction of fruit juice. The objective is to carry out value-addition of pomace to produce ligninolytic enzymes; extract polyphenols; and use the fermented mass as animal feed by using a white rot fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium.
The fruit pomace residues are generally rich in carbohydrates, especially cell wall polysaccharides and other functionally important bioactive molecules, such as proteins, minerals and natural antioxidants. Owing to the high carbohydrate content, fruit pomace can be used as a substrate for the microbial production of enzymes and extraction of other high-value added products, such as anti-oxidants. Further, the high protein enriched residue can serve as animal feed.
Research Area:
Fermentation to produce ligninolytic enzymes and simultaneously analyze polyphenolic compounds and carry out experiments with swine feed.
Requirements:
Ph.D. in microbiology, biochemistry, biological engineering, biochemical engineering, chemical engineering or related discipline. Practical experience in the field of solid state fermentation or liquid fermentation and knowledge of high performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrophotometry is an asset. Computer knowledge preferably includes programming skills and handling of chromatography techniques, such as gel filtration, size exclusion and others is an advantage. Candidates should be proficient in English and French.
Application should include a CV, list of publications, names and contacts of 2-3 references, list of research interests. For applications and further information please contact:

Dear Sir,
Abstract: I am engaged with research work on the theoretical and applied physics. I have been trying to found a new horizon of physics. Recently I have proved that “Energy is created newly by particle and matter in every where, Energy’s conservation law is fault”. I have invented some new technology of high energy I wish to establish of my research work and Invention. Please give me an opportunity.
Anyway, recently I have also invented a new generating machine which is able to active by cell as an engine of any Motor (car, bus, truck).
THE ELECTRIC POWERED GENERATING MACHINE
Activity of the machine: This machine is able to do work as a power generator and as an engine of Motorcycle, Car, Bus, truck etc.
Parts of my generating machine:
A) The motor/generator: The motor/generator of that Machine is running by cell (like battery).In this Machine there is applied new coiling system and new winding system.
B) Positive hole: There is produce and newly create excessive energy by positive hole and generator, that two device could be done fulfill of major loss of energy of cell.
C) Capacity controller: Capacity controller the permanent magnets within the capacity controller, arranged such a way that it eases the flow of the electric current. It creates excess energy.
D) Cell (like battery): The cell made by new system. The system is, copper coiling and core uses. The cell is able to store much quantity electric charge and for long time. The cell is related to capacity controller, positive hole and generator.
Activity of this machine: One hour electric charging Servicing 700km (Car) speed 100km/hour to 200km/hour. Two hour electric charging service 1400km. Three hour electric charging service 2100km. So, it’s service ability unlimited.
Alternative Machine of fuel and oil engine.
So, please help me to establish my invention. Please give me an opportunity for Research and Development of Renewable Energy( High energy).
Yours best regards

I am 25 years old . I am doing my Msc plant pathology on Biological control phytophthora by Trichoderma in Plant Protection Reseach Institue of Iran . I will graduate as soon as. I am looking to continue my study at other cuntry .
I would be greatful if my application is considered.
Thanking you
I am based permanently in the U.S. My objective is to get a Research Assistant (postdoc) or commensurate job in academia, research institute, public, private, or development NGO, either here in the U.S or outside, where my education, work experience, skills and travels would be put into satisfying use. I intend to grow with the prospective organisation which gives me the opportunity. This will make me develop and build a strong career. To me, a PhD degree is a key to opening any career door if given the opportunity.
I am skilled researcher with 7 years proven experience. My research interests focus on good governance (transparency and accountability) and poverty alleviation in Africa. In addition, Chris has 13 years frontline experience in Agricultural Extension, Advocacy/Campaign, Monitoring and Evaluation, Teaching and
training the trainers, Fund-raising, Cooperative and Youth Development and Conflict Management. I have a versatile background and has worked and volunteered for several Bilateral and Multilateral funded projects such as UN, EEC, USAID and ILO in Nigeria, Britain and the United States. I have a PhD in Geography, MA in International Security Studies and MSc in Agric. Extension Systems and Mgmt, from the University of Reading, United Kingdom.
How can I secure a postdoc fellowship to conclude the my research on why corruption has continued to impact on income households in some countries in Africa? The fellowship may be from Canada, U.S, Norway or Denmark.
