CSPPweb 04/13/2010 http://cspp-scpv.ca/jobs/j2010-04-09.shtml The successful candidate will investigate the potential use of A. nodosum product in the management of abiotic stress in turf grass. This is part of a large collaborative effort between NSAC and Acadian Seaplants Limited. CSPPweb 04/09/2010 http://cspp-scpv.ca/jobs/j2010-04-08d.shtml The successful candidate will study health benefits of seaweeds using the nematode model Caenorhabiditis elegans. Employing bioassay guided fractionation he/she will identify the bioactive molecules present in the seaweed. The work will entail study of the effect of seaweed and seaweed components on the physiology and reproduction of the worm and will involve biochemcial and molecular techniques including microarrays. CSPPweb 04/08/2010 http://cspp-scpv.ca/jobs/j2010-04-08c.shtml The successful candidate will investigate the potential use of A. nodosum product(s) to improve water stress in plants.

CSPPweb 04/08/2010 http://cspp-scpv.ca/jobs/j2010-04-08b.shtml The successful candidate will investigate the antimicrobial and anti-infective properties of select species of red algae against Salmonella enteriditis using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans infection model. The most promising products will be tested for the potential to reduce Salmonella enteriditis in layer hens. This is part of a large collaborative effort between NSAC, Acadian Seaplants Limited and Agriculture and AgriFood Canada - Kentville. CSPPweb 04/08/2010 http://cspp-scpv.ca/jobs/j2010-03-16.shtml One PHD and two MSC positions are available with a preferred starting date of January 2011. The PHD project will examine physiological parameters in genetic materials that vary for senescence, dormancy and survivorship in Southern Ontario to establish selection criteria for breeding winterhardiness in asparagus. In a related project, an MSC student will assess physiological parameters in breeding parents and their hybrids to determine the genetic potential to improve this trait. A second, distinct MSC project will survey breeding parents and hybrids for antioxidants and other health-related compounds to assess genetic variation and the potential to improve asparagus as a healthy food.
