Your main responsibilities will include collecting wild UK immature mosquitoes from the field and maintain them as well as colonies of temperate mosquitoes. Collecting adult UK mosquitoes and determine the host they blood-fed from using PCR and sequencing. Collect water samples from wild larval rearing sites across the UK.
