Your responsibilities
The Benton Lab has launched a new research project to investigate the genetic basis of toxin susceptibility and evolution of resistance in insects, using Drosophila – from cell lines to animals – as a model system. We are seeking a post-doctoral fellow to establish CRISPR-based screening methods in insect cell lines to identify novel genes required for the susceptibility or resistance to toxic chemicals. Hits from these screens will be further characterised through genetic approaches in vivo.
