We are recruiting a postdoc to investigate how diet impacts on male fertility in Drosophila. They will join a team within the lab studying systemic physiology and its regulation by diet, and in turn, how stem cells in the gonad respond to these changes. Initially, they will contribute to ongoing work in which we seek to identify inter-organ signals that regulate the response of testis stem cells to nutrient levels. Over time, the successful candidate would be expected to develop independent lines of research and original contributions within this broad topic.

The lab aims to be an inclusive and supportive environment; all applicants are welcome and informal enquiries are encouraged. There are other ongoing projects in the lab on other aspects of the interaction between the local and systemic environment with stem cell differentiation in the testis, and we welcome applicants interested in contributing to any aspects of the lab's work so please get in touch.
