Phd Position: Evolution of Chemoreception in Parasitoids

vor 2 Wochen

Freising, Deutschland Technical University of Munich Vollzeit

_Project description_

Chemical signaling, the most ancient and widespread form of communication, can play a crucial role in maintaining species boundaries through exclusive communication channels that potentially drive speciation. Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs), long-chained lipids found on the surface of insects, serve as an excellent example of this. CHCs have been shown to encode species-specific sexual signals across various chemical communication systems in insects. However, how insects perceive, discriminate, and process the biological information encoded in CHC profiles is still poorly understood. This PhD project aims to address these knowledge gaps by focusing on _Nasonia_, a species complex of parasitoid wasps that serves as an evolutionary and ecological model system.

PhD Position:

- Job profile - We require_
- Strong interest and motivation in conducting evolutionary and chemical ecological research at different levels.
- MSc/diploma in a relevant field (_e.g.,_ evolutionary biology, chemical ecology, sensory biology).
- Strong experience with chemoreception and sensory biological techniques (SSR, GC-EAD, EAG).
- Experience in analytical chemistry (GC-FID, GC-MS).
- Experience in or willingness to learn statistical data analyses, data processing and analytical chemical analyses.
- Excellent command of English language (written & oral) and experience with scientific writing.
