Offer Description
The research group of Molecular Entomology under the European Program HORIZON-CL6-2022-FARM2FORK-01, entitled “Risk AssessmenT InnOvatioN for low-risk pesticides, RATION” (Program Coordinator Prof. John Vontas) invites applications for one (1) motivated Postdoctoral Researcher
About the lab
Molecular Entomology Lab in IMBB-FORTH has a main interest to study and understand the mechanisms by which disease vectors and agricultural pests develop resistance to insecticides, as well as explore novel insecticide targets and biotechnology based approaches to control insects.
About the project:
Low risk pesticides (LRP) are gaining ground in the global market, as substitutes of synthetic pesticides. Despite ongoing regulatory efforts by the European Commission, we are still lacking a concrete risk assessment (RA) scheme relevant to LRPs, a point which blocks LRPs reaching the EU market. RATION timely comes to address these regulatory constraints and aims to develop a novel RA scheme, supported by the necessary guidance on methods and tools, tailored to the specific characteristics of established and emerging LRP solutions.
Job Description:
The successful applicant must be a Molecular Biologist who will be part of the insecticide resistance group and he/she will mainly work on transgenic technology. They should also be adaptable and able to work with a range of people in a multicultural environment. Excellent knowledge of English is required
