Job description

Offer DescriptionThe agent will lead a scientific project on the investigation of the impact of non-caloric sweetener consumption on the behavior and metabolism of Drosophila.Main Tasks
– Managing the project
– Preparation of Drosophila genetic lines
– Developping new experimental protocols
– Behaviour experiments
– in vivo brqin imqging experiments
– Molecular biology experiments
– Writting scientific publications
– Communication during conferencesSecondary tasks
– Supervising students
– Managing the project together with collaboratorsThe work will be done in the Taste and Post-ingestive Integration team (TPI) under the supervision of Pierre-Yves Musso. This CNRS team is housed by the “Centre des Sciences du Goût et de l’Alimentation” (CSGA) of Dijon. The team is currently composed of the Principal Investigator (PY Musso), one research engineer (Stéphane Fraichard), two project engineers (Isabelle Chauvel et Stéphane Dupas) and one assistant engineer (Jérôme Cortot).
Team website:The main scientific goal of the team is the following:
aste signaling provides animals and humans with crucial information about the nutritional value of foods while post-ingestive analysis provides a further level of information. The comparison between these two levels of food analysis drive learning and adaptive feeding behaviour.
In the team, we use the powerful Drosophila melanogaster (or fruit fly) model system to understand how taste and post-ingestive information are integrated and how discrepancies between the two leads to behavioural adaptation. Finally we aim at understanding how neural circuits integrate these information and control feeding behaviour.Where to apply WebsiteRequirementsResearch Field Neurosciences Education Level PhD or equivalentResearch Field Biological sciences Education Level PhD or equivalentLanguages FRENCH Level BasicResearch Field Neurosciences Years of Research Experience NoneResearch Field Biological sciences Years of Research Experience NoneAdditional InformationEligibility criteria– Experience with Drosophila
