The research group of Molecular Entomology (PI: John Vontas) of IMBB/FORTH, Crete, Greece is interested to employ three senior postdoctoral researchers to work on a project looking for novel insecticide targets in insect gut (lepidopteran and hemipteran):
- Postdoctoral Position: Insect Gut Physiologist, to investigate insect gut uptake and metabolic processes.
- Postdoctoral Position: Insect Cell models (3D) for insecticide screens, to investigate insect cell-based models analogous to Pharma (i.e. hanging drops, 3D organoids) models for uptake, metabolism, and insecticide screens.
- Postdoctoral Position: Insect functional genomics, to investigate insect RNAi and CRISPR-Cas9 based approaches for screens relevant to uptake, metabolism, and potential insecticide targets in insect gut.
Qualifications:
- PhD and Post-doctoral experience in Biology / Molecular Biology / Biochemistry / related fields, as specified.
Information and submission of applications, John Vontas: vontas@imbb.forth.gr and evangelia_morou@imbb.forth.gr.
