Offer Description
We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to compare the neuronal circuitry and behaviour between different insects in an effort to understand how animal behaviours evolve. The recruited postdoc will develop genetic tools for cell type-specific labeling and trans-synaptic tracing in the insect visual system. This project will be funded by an ERC Starting grant, which is running until August 2026.
The postdoc will adapt and develop Drosophila genetic tools in other insects. They will then use these tools to compare neuronal circuitry and behaviour based on existing single-cell sequencing data.
The postdoc will work in a team, which was established in 2021 at the Institut Jacques Monod. The team “Comparative developmental neurobiology” is led by Nikos Konstantinides. The work environment is international and a good level of communication in English is essential.
The initial duration of the contract will be one year, with possible extension up to 3 years
