London, United Kingdom NES Fircroft Full time
Invertebrate Genetics Research Scientist

About this opportunity:
The Invertebrate Genetics team within the department of Bioscience conducts critical research to support development and improve understanding of novel insecticides. This is a unique chance for a molecular geneticist who specialises in invertebrates to apply their expertise to propose, design and execute experiments to this end. If successful, you will be part of a team using molecular genetic approaches to address questions on mode of action / resistance of active ingredients, and to define and execute strategies to support target led discovery programs. You will work with the Insect Control Lead Generation team and be part of a larger cross-functional project team working towards these goals.

Accountabilities:

• Assist with the maintenance and enhancement of the invertebrate molecular laboratory, adapting to current business priorities and adopting adjacent/novel technologies or equipment where appropriate.

• Develop protocols / define experimental strategies to support insecticide projects and programs

• Develop a broad awareness of insect physiology and seek to identify genotypes which could be used as tools for insecticide mode-of-action validation, determination and for exploring mechanisms of resistance.

• Introduce new technologies, techniques or ways of working to improve productivity of existing projects/platforms.

• Contribute to the automation of invertebrate platforms to support insecticide/nematicide projects and active ingredient discovery.

• Maintain awareness of project key strategic goals. Propose, design, and carry out appropriate experiments using invertebrates to achieve these goals.

• Communicate outcomes of experimental activities with stakeholders.

• Maintain high standards of HSE compliance, which includes following all risk assessments, reporting of safety incidents and supporting the lab stewards community when requested.

Experience & skills:

• Must have a degree in a relevant science discipline. Appropriate technical science background is critical.

• Must have worked with model or pest invertebrates with experience in molecular genetic approaches.

• First-hand experience of micro-injection techniques in invertebrate species is desirable.

• Experience in invertebrate husbandry and handling of DEFRA licenced insects is desirable

• Excellent note keeping and organisational skills

• Knowledge of bioinformatic approaches and ability to work with and interrogate large datasets is desirable.

• Ability to interact effectively with colleagues. Good influencing skills.
