About this position

The University of Exeter’s Faculty of Environment, Science and Economy is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate or Fellow for the ERC-funded HYMOTOX project, “Unravelling the molecular determinants of insecticide sensitivity in the Hymenoptera.”

The project examines why beneficial insects—including bees, parasitoid wasps and ants—differ in their sensitivity to pesticides at the molecular level. Its goal is to generate knowledge and tools that improve pesticide risk assessment beyond the limited set of managed model species, help predict and avoid harmful insect–pesticide interactions, and support the development of next-generation insecticides that are safer for beneficial insects. The research has both fundamental significance for insect molecular biology and applied relevance to the protection of insect biodiversity.

The successful researcher will undertake a broad programme of biological, biochemical, molecular and bioinformatic work. Activities include functional expression of insect detoxification enzymes in insect cell lines and transgenic Drosophila, phylogenetic and bioinformatic analyses, database development and insect bioassays. The post-holder will also contribute to other research activities in the Bass lab, working within a collaborative research environment focused on insect toxicology, molecular determinants of pesticide response and environmental impact.

The role offers opportunities to produce high-impact fundamental research while contributing to practical approaches for safer pesticide use and improved ecological protection.

Funding details

ERC-funded full-time fixed-term post from 4 January 2027 to 3 January 2030. Salary is £35,302–£36,320 on Grade E for the Postdoctoral Research Associate level or £44,352–£46,970 on Grade F for the Postdoctoral Research Fellow level, depending on knowledge, skills and experience.

What's required

For the Postdoctoral Research Associate level, applicants should have a relevant PhD or be nearing completion, or possess equivalent qualification or experience in a related field, with sufficient disciplinary knowledge and research-method expertise to work within established research programmes. They should be able to communicate research progress and complex information orally, in writing and electronically, and prepare proposals and applications to external bodies. For the Postdoctoral Research Fellow level, applicants should have a relevant PhD or equivalent qualification or experience, be a nationally recognised authority in a related field, possess specialist knowledge sufficient to develop research programmes and methodologies, and be able to work collaboratively, supervise others and act as a team leader when required.
