Postdoctoral Position Open Molecular Neurogenetic Study of the Drosophila Chemosensory (smell and taste) Systems. in the Institute of Molecular Biology, Academia Sinica, Taiwan, Rep. of China My lab has taken several approaches to study the chemosensory systems of Drosophila, with the aim of identifying the genes involved in their function and development. (1) Using behavior assays, we have isolated several olfactory and several taste mutants. These mutations are now being characterized. They were induced by P element insertional mutagenesis, so cloning the corresponding genes should be relatively easy. (2) Using differential screening, we have isolated a few cDNA clones preferentially expressed in the antennae, the olfactory organ. One of these has been sequenced and is found to be a novel gene. More characterization are underway. (3) We are screening for monoclonal antibodies specific for antennal antigens. The Institute of Molecular Biology offers excellent facilities and research atmosphere. You need to speak either English or Chinese. Interested person please contact me and send two letters of recommendation. Y. Henry Sun Associate Research Fellow FAX: 886-2-7826085 TEL: 886-2-7899211 e-mail: YHSUN@imb.as.tw
