The Researcher position will focus on the use of Drosophila transgenic expression, genetic editing techniques such as RNAi or knockout mutants, fitness assays, reproductive tissue dissections, fluorescent and electron microscopy, microinjections, frequent and large experimental setups with flies, and team management to understand the genetics and mechanisms of how endosymbiotic bacteria (Wolbachia) modify reproduction in Drosophila melanogaster.
Studies in microbiome projects may also be a part of the work. Candidates with an interest and background in entomology, transgenics, proteomics, molecular biology, biochemistry, phage biology, microbiomes, and gene expression are highly encouraged to apply.
