This is a three year project funded by The Wellcome Trust, involving the molecular, genetic, developmental and behavioural dissection of the fruitless (fru) gene of Drosophila (see Cell 87: 1079-1089, 1996). This postdoctoral fellow will preferably have a strong background in molecular neurobiology to study courtship biology of the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster. She/he will be preferably acquainted with molecular neurobiology methods; genetic crosses involving behavioral/neurological mutants; cloning, analysis, and manipulation of genes influencing courtship behavior; manipulation of molecularly-generated transgenic strains of Drosophila including neuroanatomical and behavioural techniques.
