Research Associate in Genetic Vector Control
We are seeking to recruit a Research Associate to work in a world-leading research group at the intersection of molecular biology and insect vector control. You will join the laboratory of Professor Andrea Crisanti based at Imperial College, South Kensington Campus.Our research is based on cutting-edge molecular biology and genetics to understand and ultimately control the mosquito vectors of malaria. Our current focus is on developing and improving vector control strategies mainly based on gene drive systems and effectively reducing the population of Anopheles mosquitoes, which are carriers of malaria. Our cutting-edge technologies are designed to fall into the category of population suppression strategies that specifically target the reproductive capability of mosquito populations. This involves inducing sterility in female mosquitoes and a bias towards male offspring.Duties and responsibilitiesYou will play a key part in taking initiative in the planning as well as conducting innovative and autonomous research, working as part of a large team within the Crisanti group. The group is actively involved in the Target Malaria research consortium, which is focused on developing, constructing, and testing cutting-edge genetic approaches, and you will be expected to collaborate with other allied scientists within Imperial College and elsewhere in London and abroad, as appropriate.The Crisanti group has made remarkable advancements in the areas of mosquito transgenesis, genome editing, and gene drive research, establishing themselves as pioneers in this field. You will be required to attend relevant workshops and conferences as necessary, contribute to the compilation of reports for submission to research sponsors and provide guidance to other staff and students.Essential requirements
