[Gate-users] PhD offer

[Lydia Maigne]

Dear Gate users,
Pay attention to the PhD offer below with a collaborative study with GATE and Geant4-DNA:)

Best regards


Lydia Maigne



"Dear all, 

I would like to draw your attention to a PhD offer to work on modeling radiation exposure of microorganisms living in mineral radioactive sources using GATE and Genat4-DNA. Radioactive mineral springs are unique ecosystems where ionizing radiation can act as an “abiotic driver” impacting the diversity and structure of microbial communities.
Within the context of Zone-Atelier Territoires Uranifères (http://zatu.org <http://zatu.org/>), several laboratories from three CNRS institutes (Nuclear and Particle Physics, Chemistry, Ecology and Environment) have started exploring interactions between radionuclides and microorganisms living in these springs in the French Massif Central.

To disentangle the effect of ionizing radiations from chemical toxicity of radioelements, we propose a PhD dedicated to the Monte-Carlo simulation of the radioinduced DNA damages to two microbial communities (diatoms and cyanobacteria) living in these sources.  The simulation will use the GATE and GEANT4-DNA toolkits and build upon biological, chemical and radiological data collected in naturally radioactives springs from France, Czech Republic and other countries (possibly in Asia).

Students interested are invited to apply at the following link: http://bit.ly/2wBmAWn <http://bit.ly/2wBmAWn>"
