About us:


Biosciences is one of the world's foremost centres for research and teaching in the biological sciences and one of the largest Divisions within UCL, undertaking a significant amount of research and teaching.

The Division has a diverse portfolio addressing all areas of biology from protein interactions to cell function, organism development, genetics, population studies and the environment.

Computational modelling approaches are frequently used alongside experimental research programmes and much of our research crosses traditional boundaries, including the relationship of biodiversity to the health of the planet.

Activity is underpinned by high calibre science technology platforms and state of the art equipment.

Educational activity includes a range of undergraduate programmes, an expanding number of Masters Programmes and a substantial number of postgraduate research students.


This is an exciting opportunity to join a vibrant team of researchers from UCL, Natural History Museum and University of Haifa, Israel on a NERC-funded project to determine the diversity in sensory mechanisms by which wasps detect prey.

There are over 100,000 described species of wasps; these include parasitoids, solitary predatory wasps and social wasps. They hunt a diversity of prey types using a range of different strategies. This project will use high-quality chromosome-level genome sequence data and sensory morphology (e.g. SEM; CTscans) data to determine the sensing machinery that has evolved across the phylogeny of wasps in relation to prey type.

About the role:


The main purpose of this position is to provide technical support for a NERC funded project on the sensory ecology and evolution of wasps predation, using comparative analyses of genomes and morphology to identify sensory mechanisms used by wasps to detect prey.

Interview Date(s) will be in early/mid January 2024.

This role is an open-ended contract with a funding end date of 30/06/2026 in the first instance.
