Liverpool, United Kingdom Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine Full time

The Department of Vector Biology at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) is actively recruiting for a Post-Doctoral Research Associate to study the evolution of insecticide resistance in the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae.

Malaria is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and one of the biggest impediments to the economic development. The major method for controlling malaria-transmitting mosquitoes is through the use of chemical insecticides but resistance has emerged and is a major threat to the recent reductions in malaria infections.

**Key responsibilities include (but are not limited to)**:

- Develop amplicon-sequencing based genotyping approaches for resistance marker screening. Periodically revise the panels to include newly validated resistance variants and to ensure the panels are tailored to the transmission settings of project partners.
- Develop SOPs, data entry forms, analytical pipelines and training materials for the resistance panels
- Support partners in The Gambia and Ghana to implement amplicon sequencing to identify variants associated with insecticide resistance
- Support partners in The Gambia and Ghana in the development of report cards to inform malaria control programme staff
- Create training materials for, and provide training in, molecular and analytical techniques to others in the lab
- Assist in the design and supervision of student projects
- Assist in training and mentoring staff that provide technical assistance to your project
- Support students and technicians working on similar topics, especially in the analysis of their data
- Contribute to the writing of research grants/ fellowships in collaboration with PIs

**Ideally, you will bring**:

- PhD in Molecular Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry or mosquito biology/entomology
- Significant experience in molecular biology
- Experience or knowledge of next generation sequencing technologies
- Experience of data management and bioinformatics
- Well-developed research skills with the ability to present research findings in oral or written format
- Experience of training staff in lab practices
- Evidence of preparing publications for specialist/ general science journals
- Able and willing to travel to partner institutes in the UK, The Gambia and Ghana

**_ (Please read the full Job Description & Person Specification for more details.)_**

**In return, we offer**:

- 30 days annual leave, plus bank holidays, plus Christmas closure days
- Generous occupational pension schemes
- Government backed “cycle to work” scheme.
- Affiliated, discounted staff membership to the University of Liverpool Sports Centre
- Plus, a host of additional family friendly policies

**Inclusion is central to our values at LSTM.**
