Combining single molecule atomic force microscopy (AFM) and protein engineering techniques, researchers have started to understand the molecular design principles of elastomeric proteins and use such knowledge to engineer novel elastomeric proteins of tailored nanomechanical properties. Recently we have employed these novel elastomeric proteins as building blocks to construct protein-based biomaterials. Ultimately, we would like to rationally tailor mechanical properties of elastomeric protein-based materials by programming the molecular sequence, and thus nanomechanical properties, of elastomeric proteins at the single-molecule level. This step would help bridge the gap between single protein mechanics and material biomechanics, revealing how the mechanical properties of individual elastomeric proteins are translated into the properties of macroscopic materials. In this talk, I will discuss our recent efforts in this new area of research. Two examples will be discussed: 1) designing protein-based biomaterials to mimic the passive elastic properties of muscles, and 2) engineering stimuli-responsive protein-based hydrogels.

PhD in Petroleum Geochemistry The Canadian Research Chair in Petroleum Geochemistry and Reservoir Characterization in the Department of Geology at Saint Mary's University is currently advertising for a PhD student (entry September 1st, 2017) to conduct a molecular geochemical survey of Scotian Shelf and on-shore produced oils and extracts from potential source rocks. The PhD student will work on the topics of organic geochemistry/petroleum geochemistry using molecular (biomarker) proxy data for Mesozoic sections of both marine and lacustrine environments with the objective of developing enhanced techniques for the evaluation of oil-source rock/oil-oil correlation, prospectively evaluation of organic-rich source rocks, and the reconstruction of paleodepositional environments along the Scotian Margin.
Applicants are required to have, or be about to obtain, a Master degree, or equivalent, in geological science, chemistry, environmental science, or related field areas. Candidates with the following qualifications are encouraged to apply:
• Strong academic background; • Passionate research interest and a background in geochemistry or chemistry; • Proficient scientific writing skills and high motivation to produce publishable results; • Very good command of spoken and written English, i.e. TOEFL IBT (overall score of 88 or better,
minimum score of 20 in each of the four components: listening, speaking, writing, reading) or TOEFL PBT (paper based test, minimum score of 570, minimum essay score of 5).
This degree offers:
• A cutting-edge research project using state-of-the-art, modern analytical equipment; • A training program tailored to the needs of the student; • The ability to present research findings at national and international conferences; • A friendly and multi-disciplinary environment; • Attractive salary in accordance with Canadian University standards; • Excellent future career opportunities.
Expression of interest including CV, academic transcript and the names of three references should be sent to Prof. G. Todd Ventura ([email protected]).

Biochemistry Visiting Assistant Professor
Beloit College invites applications for a one year Visiting Assistant Professor to begin in August 2017. The successful candidate will hold a Ph.D. (or A.B.D.) in biochemistry or related field and will teach an upper-level biochemistry course and introductory chemistry course each semester. This full-time position is an excellent opportunity to gain teaching experience in a department that is known nationally for innovative pedagogy. Over the last 20 years, multiple visiting faculty members in the chemistry department have moved quickly from Beloit to tenure-track positions at other colleges and universities.
Because equity and inclusion are central to our students’ liberal education and vital to the thriving of all members of our residential learning community, Beloit College aspires to be an actively anti-racist institution. We recognize our aspiration as ongoing and institution-wide, involving collective commitment and accountability. We welcome employees who are committed to and will actively contribute to our efforts to celebrate our cultural and intellectual richness and be resolute in advancing inclusion and equity. We encourage all interested individuals meeting the criteria of the described position to apply.
Located in a diverse community close to Madison, Milwaukee, and Chicago, Beloit is a selective undergraduate liberal arts college that attracts students from across the United States and the world. The college emphasizes excellence in teaching, learning beyond the traditional classroom, international perspectives, and collaborative research among students and faculty. It is recognized as one of the Colleges That Change Lives.
Inquiries may be addressed to George Lisensky, Chair of Chemistry, [email protected]. Interested individuals should submit a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, statement of teaching interests, unofficial scans of undergraduate and graduate transcripts, and three letters of reference to the Center for the Sciences Academic Program Coordinator, Sarah Arnsmeier, at [email protected]. Review of applications will begin on April 1 and continue until the position is filled.

Dear water and environment enthusiast,
On behalf of the Water and Environment Student Talks (WEST) organizing committee, we would like to invite you to our conference being held atthe UBC Vancouver campus from June 11-13, 2017. WEST is a fantastic opportunity to present your water and environment-related research. Theconference is specifically designed for students and young professionals, providing them with a comfortable and inviting atmosphere to present theirideas, and network with like-minded individuals.
This year our conference is themed How Water Shapes our World. As you can decipher, the theme is very broad and encompasses all aspects of

water and environment research- from water and wastewater treatment to hydrology, from oceanography to agriculture, from water policy toenvironmental law, from climate change to urban development, from culture to history! Our aim is to bring together researchers from every field, and getthem talking, get them collaborating, get them working together towards sustainable water and environmental management.
Guest speakers at the conference include members of Water Magic, an international academic group investigating water supply and treatmentinfrastructure in Northern climates; Jeff Carmichael, representing the water utility innovation group with Metro Vancouver; Dr. Pierre Berube,representing the academia, among others.
The conference will also feature an industry night in which the participants will get to network with the who's who of Canadian water industry.
The deadline to submit the abstracts has now been extended to April 15, 2017. Please consider submitting anabstract by midnight on April 15, 2017.
Abstracts will be considered in the following categories:
1. Treatment: Wastewater, Drinking Water, Storm Water2. Water in the Environment: Hydrogeology, Oceanography, Agriculture3. Policy Matters: Regulations, Sociology, Environmental Law, Conservation4.
