Research Associate In Genetic Vector Control
2 months ago
We are seeking to recruit a Research Associate to work in a worldleading research group at the intersection of molecular biology and insect vector control. You will join the laboratory of Professor Andrea Crisanti based at Imperial College South Kensington Campus.
Our research is based on cuttingedge molecular biology and genetics to understand and ultimately control the mosquito vectors of malaria. Our current focus is on developing and improving vector control strategies mainly based on gene drive systems and effectively reducing the population of Anopheles mosquitoes which are carriers of malaria. Our cuttingedge technologies are designed to fall into the category of population suppression strategies that specifically target the reproductive capability of mosquito populations. This involves inducing sterility in female mosquitoes and a bias towards male offspring.
Duties and responsibilities
You will play a key part in taking initiative in the planning as well as conducting innovative and autonomous research working as part of a large team within the Crisanti group. The group is actively involved in the Target Malaria research consortium which is focused on developing constructing and testing cuttingedge genetic approaches and you will be expected to collaborate with other allied scientists within Imperial College and elsewhere in London and abroad as appropriate.
The Crisanti group has made remarkable advancements in the areas of mosquito transgenesis genome editing and gene drive research establishing themselves as pioneers in this field. You will be required to attend relevant workshops and conferences as necessary contribute to the compilation of reports for submission to research sponsors and provide guidance to other staff and students.
Essential requirements
- You must hold or be near completion of a PhD in in molecular biology or a closely related discipline and practical experience within a research environment along with a track record of publication in relevant and refereed journals.
- The post requires Practical experience with molecular cloning (Gibson Assembly Golden Gate similar protocols) mosquito husbandry analysis and interpretation of DNA and RNA sequencing data.
- Experience with molecular approaches to population control of mosquito disease vectors is also essential as is demonstrable knowledge in molecular biology and genetics statistical procedures and CRISPRCas9 systems.
- Knowledge of data science and programming processes including R and modelling programs is not required but would be an advantage.
- You must have excellent verbal and written communication skills. You must also be able to develop and apply new concepts and have a creative approach to problemsolving.
- The ideal candidate will have the passion and drive to tackle and overcome scientific problems.
