PhD position on chemical ecology of two major insect pests – IQAC

The Institute for Advanced Chemistry of Catalonia (IQAC-CSIC) is looking for a PhD student to provide new insights into the chemical ecology of two major insect pests, namely the Moroccan locust Dociostaurus marocannus (Orthoptera: Acrididae) and the olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae). The candidate will identify novel compounds involved in the intraspecific communication of both species using conventional chemical ecology-related methodologies.

The applicants must hold a Bachelor´s Degree in Biology, Environmental Sciences, Biotechnology or Chemistry. Holding a MSc in a biology-related field is mandatory. An entomology-related academic formation will be highly considered

Deadline: 14 February 2024
