About this position
This postdoctoral research associate position is based in Texas A&M AgriLife Research, Department of Entomology, at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. The project focuses on insect biology in arthropod systems in a contained laboratory environment, with work spanning genetic, proteomic, transcriptomic, imaging, biochemical, and physiological approaches.
The successful researcher will investigate factors that shape important insect traits such as digestion, feeding, development, reproduction, and DNA repair. The role involves collecting and analysing data, maintaining detailed experimental records, preparing figures and research manuscripts, and presenting results at conferences. The post is well suited to someone with a strong interest in molecular and functional studies of insects and arthropods.
In addition to hands-on research, the appointee will train and supervise research support staff and contribute to the day-to-day work of a collaborative laboratory setting within Texas A&M AgriLife, an established agriculture and life sciences research organisation.
