Title of Project: Understanding taste and its modulation in Drosophila melanogaster
Duration: Initially for 1 year, may be extended further based on annual evaluation. The starting date will be 1st August, 2018.
Essential Qualifications: M.Sc in any biology area with at least one plus year of prior research experience, minimum 60% marks in M.Sc or equivalent degree with valid GATE/NET or Graduate Degree in Professional Course with NET qualification or Post Graduate Degree in Professional Course.
Project: Drosophila Genetics and Neurobiology laboratory is seeking two Junior research fellow positions to contribute to the understanding of the taste and its modulation in Drosophila melanogaster.
To adjust in a constantly changing environment, animal behaviour is shaped by the sensory stimuli it detects, previous experience and the internal state. Drosophila display very simple and plastic taste behaviours like acceptance behaviour with sugar and avoidance with bitter compounds, which gets modified by intrinsic and extrinsic cues. How physiological state such as hunger, satiety and thirst influence taste behaviours and unidentified taste circuits is an area of our interest.
Skills preferred: Candidate with practical knowledge of solutions preparations, behaviour, Drosophila handling, microscopy, excel, word, power point and statistics will be preferred. Candidates with their your own fellowship will also be preferred.
