We are seeking a lab-based Scientist to work with the model species Drosophila melanogaster , deploying molecular genetic tools to support our insecticide discovery pipeline. A key focus of this role will be enhancing the team''s ability to genetically validate potential insecticide targets - initially through evaluating genetic tools for spatial and temporal modulation of these targets, with the longer-term objective of developing and deploying such tools in non-model agricultural pests. A genuine enthusiasm for, and ability to work beyond, the model species is essential. You will join an Invertebrate Genetics team using molecular genetic approaches to support target-led insecticide discovery strategies. Key Responsibilities Work with the project lead to evaluate and deploy molecular-genetic technologies enabling spatial and temporal modulation of putative insecticide targets Execute studies...
