Research Associate for the project "ABCB-Transporters as key adaptations to host plant toxins" - 28 Subsection 1 +3 HmbHG
- InstitutionFaculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Sciences, Department of Biology, Institute for Cell and Systems Biology of Animals, Molecular Evolutionary Biology
Salary levelEGR. 13 TV-L
Start dateas soon as possible, the initial fixed term is three years. (This is a fixed-term contract in accordance with Section 2 of the academic fixed-term labor contract act [Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz, WissZeitVG]).

Scope of workpart-time
Weekly hours65 % of standard work hours per week**Responsibilities**:
In the period from as soon as possible until 28.02.2026 duties include academic services in the project named above. Research associates may also pursue independent research and further academic qualifications. They may also undertake doctoral studies outside of working hours.

In the period from 01.03.2026 for the remaining time of the contract the research associate will be expected primarily to teach and conduct research. The research associate will also have the opportunity to pursue further academic qualifications, in particular a doctoral dissertation. At least one-third of set working hours will be made available for the research associate’s own academic work.

Specific Duties

The researcher will investigate the importance of ABCB transporters for adaptation to host plant-derived cardenolides in the large milkweed bug, a species that recycles the toxins for its own anti-predator defense. The project analyses the effect of RNA interference mediated knockdown of specific ABCB transporters on uptake and trafficking of cardenolides and will screen for phenotypic effects on the bugs. To investigate the substrate specificity of the transporters and disentagle the transport network through the body, relevant cardenolides will be isolated from bugs or host plants by LC-MS techniques and fed or injected to the bugs.

2,5 teaching hours per week from 01.03.2026 for the remaining time of the contract.

**Requirements**:
A university degree in a relevant field.

In depth knowledge of molecular biological methods is required preferably also involving RNA interference and/or quantitative RT-PCR methods, additional knowledge of HPLC methods is highly desirable.

Team spirit, ability of scientific writing and good oral and written English skills are necessary.
