Type of contract CDD
Location Orléans, France
Statut Available
Key Words electrophysiology, arthropod, neuroscience
Details of the offer
Place of work: Biology and Biochemistry department / University of Orleans & P2E laboratory
Missions:
Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are of particular interest because they are the main target of pesticides, which are important in agriculture for controlling insect pests, and veterinary medicine for preventing transmission of arthropod borne diseases. The adverse effects of neonicotinoids on non-target species have prompted companies to synthetize new compounds against insect pests. These new compounds still remain a matter of debate because of their potential adverse effects for non-target species such as pollinators and humans. We aim to explore their mode of action on arthropod neuronal nAChRs from molecular, behavioral and electrophysiological studies.
Qualifications:
We are looking for a motivated student (Teamwork and communication are important). The hired student will have to perform electrophysiology, molecular biology (PCR, isolation and purification of plasmid), and behavioral studies.
