*From:* Bonning,Bryony <bbonning at ufl.edu>
*Sent:* Thursday, November 21, 2024 7:03 AM
*Subject:* Postdoc position Univ. Florida: Insect Gut Physiology

Please forward to potential applicants within your institution:

*Postdoctoral Scholar in Insect Physiology*

A postdoctoral position is available to work on analysis of the gut surface
proteome of insect pests of agricultural / urban importance. The management
of pest insects is confounded by the arrival of invasive pest species and
the evolution of insect resistance to current management approaches. Most
of the alternative approaches for management act via the gut, including the
use of bacteria-derived pesticidal proteins, viruses and gene silencing
RNAs.  Detailed knowledge of the most abundant proteins on the surface of
the gut epithelium is important for optimization of established
technologies that target- or enter via- the gut, and to identify new
targets.

Please see the following papers for additional insight:
