Minimal entry requirements are of a class 2:2 degree or appropriate training and experience. The course provides a thorough understanding and practical experience of molecular biology for students who wish to use this approach in clinical diagnosis, epidemiological investigations, or laboratory research on infectious diseases. A high proportion of students subsequently enter PhD programmes.

The position is funded by the EU-RTN programme in the frame of the Network on: "Insects innate immunity and the critical stages of malaria-mosquito interactions". Other members of the Network are: Andrea Crisanti (Imperial College, London), Jules Hoffmann (CNRS, Strasbourg), Fotis Kafatos (EMBL, Heidelberg), Christos Louis (IMBB, Crete), Robert Sinden (Imperial College, London) and Andy Waters (Leiden University, Leiden). The successful applicant will work under the supervision of Dr. Bruno Arca' on the molecular characterization of secreted factors and potential sporozoite receptors expressed in the salivary glands of Anopheles gambiae (Arca' et al., 1999 Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 96, 1516-1521; Lombardo et al., 2000 J. Biol. Chem. 31, 23861-23868). Aims of the project are: (i) characterization of secreted factors involved in hematophagy; (ii) isolation of salivary gland-specific promoters;(iii) the identification of gene products involved in the invasion of mosquito salivary glands by Plasmodium sporozoites. Candidates should hold a PhD or have equivalent experience. A sound background in molecular biology is required. Experience in vector biology/parasitology/molecular entomology would be an advantage.
