Based in Liverpool with international travel

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the Vector Biology Department at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM).

The project will investigate the functional genetics of insecticide resistance in Anopheles mosquitoes, focusing on the role of copy number variation (CNV) in the gene Cyp9k1. The successful candidate will combine fieldwork in Western Kenya with insectary bioassays, long-read sequencing, and CRISPR-based genome editing. By inserting and removing CNVs, the project will directly test their contribution to resistance across a range of insecticides.

The post is based in Liverpool, UK, with required travel to Kenya. The role will involve field sampling, laboratory experiments, genomic analysis, and contribution to publications.

Applicants should hold a PhD in a relevant discipline, have experience in molecular or genetic approaches, and be willing to undertake international fieldwork.

Key responsibilities will include:

Establish a colony from wild-caught mosquitoes in Western Kenya that carry the CNV in Cyp9k1

Collect mosquitoes that carry the CNV and establish a stable colony.
Enrich the colony for the CNV to ensure it is at high frequency.
Transfer the colony to LSTM and establish it in the insectaries there.

Manipulate the presence of the Cyp9k1 CNV

Remove the CNV from the wild colony.
Insert the CNV into an insecticide-susceptible laboratory colony
Measure resistance of these colonies to insecticides.

Develop novel projects. Production and dissemination of research outputs.

Generate ideas and data to support new project applications
Actively participate to the writing of research grants/ fellowships in collaboration with PIs
Contribute to peer-reviewed research publications and scientific reports for donors
Disseminate findings through publications and conferences, as relevant to research

The ideal candidate will demonstrate:

PhD in Biology, Epidemiology, Bioinformatics or Genomics
Significant experience in molecular biology
Well-developed research skills with the ability to present research findings in oral or written format
Evidence of preparing publications for specialist/ general science journals
Experience with CRISPR, particularly in insects (desirable)
Experience of field work, particularly with mosquitoes (desirable)

(For a full list of essential and desirable criteria please refer to the job description and person specification)

Informal enquiries can be made to: [email protected]

Additional benefits of joining LSTM:

30 days annual leave, plus bank holidays, plus Christmas closure days
Generous occupational pension schemes
Government backed “cycle to work” scheme.
Affiliated, discounted staff membership to the University of Liverpool Sports Centre
A range of additional family friendly policies

Application Process: To apply for the position please follow the apply link and upload your CV and covering letter.
