1 PhD student in the research education subject: Insect Evolutionary Neuroethology
Drosophila Chemical Ecology, Ethology and Evolution
EMPLOYER The division of Chemical Ecology, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Alnarp, consists of around 50 people of 18 nationalities and with all career stages represented. In 2006 the division received a prestigious Linnaeus grant for research on Insect chemical Ecology, Ethology and Evolution, IC-E3. The program will run until 2016. POSITION DESCRIPTION Within the framework of IC-E3 we are performing research on how insects use chemical signals to recognize their hosts and how their behavioural response is modulated by short-term and long-term events, and from receptor neuron to CNS. We are now recruiting a PhD student whose research will focus on modulation of olfactory-mediated behaviour in Drosophila. The project includes an analysis of factors that are involved in steering the fly's behaviour in connection to its physiological state (feeding and mating status), and/or ecological niche (evolution). Factors (olfactory, neuromodulatory, genetic and molecular) involved in modulation will be identified. The work includes behavioural, physiological, genetic and molecular analyses. STARTING DATE: As soon as possible, but before September 2012.
Qualifications
Candidates should hold an MSc, preferably with knowledge in insect behaviour, chemical ecology, and molecular biology. Candidates should be fluent in spoken and written English.
