Molekulare Ökologie, Frankfurt

Es können nicht immer Schmetterlinge sein

Züchten Sie in Frankfurt am Main Schnecken und Mücken

Unterstützen Sie uns in Frankfurt am Main in der Arbeitsgruppe Molekulare Ökologie bei der Tierzucht und Probensammlung. Sie helfen bei der Organisation und Durchführung von Probensammlungen (Benthosorganismen, Pflanzenlaub, Insekten), der Futterzubereitung und der Pflege von Tierzuchten.

Sie benötigen keine speziellen Voraussetzungen; die weitere Einarbeitung erfolgt vor Ort.

Research interests/current works

I am a trained ecologist with keen interest in insects, especially disease vectors and agricultural pests. The methods I apply range from insect bioassays to monitoring and control of field populations, and include molecular DNA and RNA work as well as population modelling. With my work I wish to contribute to the scientific knowledge basis of integrated management plans and applied ecology. My current projects focus on the temperature-dependent development of spotted wing drosophila and Asian bush mosquito.
