In collaboration with the Principal Investigator (PI), the Research Project Manager will lead a project to investigate the effect of different macronutrients such as amino acids, sugars and fatty acids on the function of neural circuits that regulate mating behavior in Drosophila. Analyze results, prepare manuscripts for publication, and formally present results as appropriate.
Incumbent will use their expertise in functional imaging using one- and two-photon microscopy, behavioral assays to measure mating behavior, and confocal microscopy to identify specific brain neurons with immunohistochemistry. Incumbent will use R programing to carry out bioinformatic analysis of published datasets to identify potential neural substrates of metabolic modulation. Incumbent will oversee a wide variety of standard procedures, performing the maintenance and validation of transgenic and mutant Drosophila strains, which involves PCR, DNA sequencing, manipulation, and analysis.
Incumbent will collaborate with other lab members on all aspects of the project. Train laboratory personnel in fly genetics, functional imaging, immunohistochemistry and behavioral genetics.
Expert level theoretical and sophisticated practical experimental knowledge of neural circuits and behavioral genetics acquired through a Masters degree in related field and an equivalent combination of education and experience. PhD in related field preferred.
Extensive demonstrated experience, skill and knowledge in successfully carrying out independent research in behavioral genetics, one- and two-photon imaging, confocal imaging, molecular biology, and biochemistry.
Advanced conceptual/theoretical and practical understanding of and ability to perform complex assays, two- and three-photon imaging, confocal imaging, PCR, in vitro transcription, agarose gel electrophoresis, antibody generation, immunostaining, and fluorescence microscopy.
Advanced experience with Drosophila genetics and modern microscopy.
Advanced experience writing manuscripts based on research projects, including excellent scientific writing skills and presentation skills for presenting data to a professional scientific audience.
Advanced and sophisticated practical experimental knowledge of current literature in fields of neuroscience, metabolic biology and behavioral genetics.
