Project: Drosophila Genetics and Neurobiology laboratory is seeking two Junior research fellow positions to contribute to the understanding of the taste and its modulation in Drosophila melanogaster.

To adjust in a constantly changing environment, animal behaviour is shaped by the sensory stimuli it detects, previous experience and the internal state.

How physiological state such as hunger, satiety and thirst influence taste behaviours and unidentified taste circuits is an area of our interest.
