European COFUND grant on the Origin and Evolution of Life funds 17 PhD students The European Union has awarded a COFUND grant to a consortium of researchers from the universities of Groningen and Leiden for a collective PhD programme called ‘Evolve’. We will recruit and train 17 PhD students to conduct world-leading research on the origin and nature of life. Interested researchers are encouraged to apply before 20 October 2024. Interdisciplinary research on the origin and evolution of life The origin and nature of life, and its distribution in the universe, are fundamental questions for humanity. Key questions revolve for instance around the formation of biomolecules, the emergence of life on planetary surfaces, the evolution of cellular functions, extra-terrestrial life and how life will cope with human-induced challenges. Within the Evolve Doctoral Programme, the four-year PhD students will conduct interdisciplinary research with the aim to break new grounds in four scientific areas: (i) Planetary preconditions and boundary conditions of Life, and its origins here on Earth, (ii) Defining properties and synthesis of Life, from the molecular to the biosphere level, (iii) Modelling, predicting and steering of Life, (iv) Distribution of Life across the universe. More than research Next to their interdisciplinary research project, the 17 PhD students will follow a joint research and training programme, consisting of scientific lectures, academic and professional skills training, career guidance, and teaching and supervision of undergraduate students. In addition, they will have the opportunity to go on secondments with leading industrial, academic and non-profit partner organisations of the Evolve Doctoral Programme. The aim is to equip and prepare the PhD students for their further career, both within and outside academia. Call for Applications is now open Interested researchers are encouraged to apply before 20 October 2024 via the Evolve website: https://lnkd.in/eHPZ56mi To comply with EU mobility rules, you will not have resided in the Netherlands for more than 12 months during the 3 years prior to 20 October 2024. Participating research institutes and coordination The Evolve Doctoral Programme is a joint initiative by six world-leading research institutes: Leiden Institute of Chemistry, Groningen Biomolecular Sciences & Biotechnology Institute (GBB), Groningen Institute for Evolutionary Life Sciences (GELIFES), Kapteyn Astronomical Institute, Stratingh Institute for Chemistry and Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials (ZIAM).

Congratulations to Dr. Johann Rudi and his collaborators on their recent publication in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS)! PNAS is a peer reviewed journal of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and is one of the world's most-cited multidisciplinary scientific serials and publishes cutting-edge research reports, commentaries, reviews, perspectives, and colloquium papers spanning the biological, physical, and social sciences. "Solid Earth evolution is regulated by mantle convection and plates that deform with highly nonlinear rheologies and with plastic failure. Geophysical inference has been unable to account for such nonlinearities while simultaneously resolving the two key tectonic elements globally: bending plates and megathrust faults. Through advancing the robustness and scalability of computational methods, and combining them with global lithosphere, slab, seismicity and tomography data, we overcome the key challenges. We find that the nonlinearity and stress magnitude for plastic failure during mantle deformation is smaller than found in laboratory experiments while the tectonic stress delivered to different plate interfaces varies for different subduction zones with implications for megathrust earthquakes." https://lnkd.in/d5sPn2V9 Virginia Tech College of Science PNAS

💥🎓 HDR defence on sight: in 2 days! Next Monday (June 24th), I will present some of the recent work we did over the last years with my collaborators on “the Impact of Stellar Multiplicity on Planet Formation” to obtain a French habilitation (HDR) to officially supervise PhD projects. The presentation will be in English and the questions in French. The presentation will be at 14h00 (CET) in Forestini room at IPAG / OSUG A and it will be followed by a latino cocktail (peruvian causa, veggy ceviche, anticucho, empanadas, patacón, guacamole, desserts, fruit juice; served in the main hall around 16h30). After the presentation, there is typically ~1h of questions and some time for the jury to decide whether the candidate deserves the diploma (or not). For those willing to follow online, here is the Zoom link: https://lnkd.in/ePMFMQYK Time to prepare some slides! ---------------- Institut de Planétologie et d'Astrophysique de Grenoble Université Grenoble Alpes #academia #diploma #research #science #astrophysics

I just had a question come my way from a current undergraduate student wondering about summer research experiences. While I did "on campus" summer research at Sweet Briar College, many students choose to participate in an official Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU). REU's exist in MANY fields within STEM, and a database of these opportunities can be found through the National Science Foundation (NSF): https://lnkd.in/g7BK_ihx #stem #research #chemistry #biochemistry #biology #bioengineering #physics #mathematics #astronomy #geoscience #oceanscience #materialsscience #socialsciences

📃Scientific paper: Necessary Conditions for Earthly Life Floating in the Venusian Atmosphere Abstract: Millimeter-waveband spectra of Venus from both the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope \(JCMT\) and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array \(ALMA\) provide conclusive evidence \(signal-to-noise ratio of about $15\sigma$\) of a phosphine absorption-line profile against the thermal background from deeper, hotter layers of the atmosphere. Phosphine is an important biomarker; e.g., the trace of phosphine in the Earth's atmosphere is uniquivocally associated with anthropogenic activity and microbial life \(which produces this highly reducing gas even in an overall oxidizing environment\). Motivated by the JCMT and ALMA tantalizing observations we reexamine whether Venus could accommodate Earthly life. More concretly, we hypothesize that the microorganisms populating the venusian atmosphere are not free floating but confined to the liquid environment inside cloud aerosols or droplets. Armed with this hypothesis, we generalize a study of airborne germ transmission to constrain the maximum size of droplets that could be floating in the venusian atmosphere and estimate whether their Stokes fallout times to reach moderately high temperatures are pronouncedly larger than the microbe's replication time. We also comment on the effect of cosmic ray showers on the evolution of aerial microbial life. ;Comment: To be presented at the 15th Student Scholars Conference \(SRAB 2024\), Lehman College, April 15, 2024 Continued on ES/IODE ➡️ https://etcse.fr/b439 ------- If you find this interesting, feel free to follow, comment and share.
