Research opportunities

We are seeking talented pre- and postdoctoral scientists to help us unlock the mosquito biology required to develop next-generation disease control technologies. Thanks for your interest!

////////////////////

  • You will learn to systematically apply the scientific method to dissect the complex biology of disease vector mosquitoes. You will perform experimental research addressing the feasibility of blocking the transmission of devastating human pathogens, such as Plasmodium (malaria) and Dengue virus, while deciphering the molecular mechanisms of the mosquito immune system and exploring mosquito-bacteria interactions to develop novel control strategies.

    Beyond the bench, you will learn to write effectively and persuasively for high-impact journals and grant applications and to deliver influential oral scientific presentations. You will become a member of a worldwide community of vector biologists and a family of colleagues sharing a passion for infectious disease eradication. Most importantly, you will have fun!

  • The GD Group is currently not accepting graduate students but you can apply to the department’s ScM or PhD graduate programs in Molecular Microbiology and Immunology.
