The identification and characterization of genes mediating female sexual behaviour in Drosophila. Drosophila has long been used as a model organism that allows us to address how genes mediate aspects of behaviour. Although much progress has been made in understanding how male sexual behaviour is determined, female sexual behaviour is a largely neglected area of Drosophila behaviour research. We propose to correct this by combining a classical and molecular genetic approach with recent technological developments in Drosophila functional genomics to identify genes that mediate female sexual behaviour. Candidates should have a strong background in molecular biology and ideally would have some knowledge of neurobiology: experience in Drosophila genetics is preferred, but not essential.
