Drosophila Geneticist Contract Duration: Initially 2 Years Our client is seeking a passionate and dedicated Drosophila Geneticist to join their dynamic Invertebrate Genetics team within the Bioscience department. This exciting opportunity is centred around pioneering research aimed at enhancing the development and understanding of innovative insecticides, utilising the model species Drosophila melanogaster. About the Role: As a lab-based scientist, the successful candidate will leverage molecular genetic tools to support the insecticide discovery pipeline. A core component of this role involves enhancing capabilities to genetically validate potential insecticide targets and subsequently deploying these tools in non-model agricultural pests. An enthusiasm for working beyond model species is highly encouraged. Key Responsibilities: Collaborate with the project lead to assess and implement molecular-genetic technologies for modulating potential insecticide targets....
