​We are broadly interested in how honey bees respond to stress. This particular project has to do with developing RNAi in our lab to study the mechanisms connecting poor diet to differences in young adult bee development. The position will be hired at a GS-11, which means $61,642 and full benefits (health insurance, retirement, paid time off, etc.). Unfortunately, we can only consider applicants that are US citizens and that have received their Ph.D. within the last 4 years. Please see www.corbyharrislab.com for more information on our lab and what we do.
Duties: The incumbent will explore the molecular pathways controlling the development of hypopharyngeal glands in honey bees, particularly in relation to stress-induced hormone response pathways. The incumbent will use molecular genetic approaches, including RNAi, to assess and manipulate the function of these pathways. Further study will include how these developmental pathways respond to environmental, dietary, and/or chemical stressors. The incumbent will interact and collaborate with other CHBRC scientists and graduate students in the Corby-Harris lab, assuming a mentorship role where appropriate. The incumbent will lend technical expertise to existing projects while developing independent lines of investigation within the purview of the CHBRC mission area. The incumbent will publish their results in high quality peer reviewed scientific journals. The incumbent will work with lab scientists to obtain extramural funding through stakeholder organizations.

Desired qualifications: This position requires a recent Ph.D. in Biology, Entomology, or a related field of study that has equipped the applicant with the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities to perform the duties and responsibilities of the position. Successful execution of this project requires a working professional knowledge of molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, genomics, and entomology. Evidence of publishing independent research in peer reviewed scientific journals and at scientific meetings will demonstrate the incumbent’s ability to communicate results verbally and in writing.
