The Laursen Lab (U. of Washington) is recruiting all career stages!
We use genetic tools to understand how mosquitoes and other pests sense the world and how this influences their behavior. We welcome applicants from a wide range of backgrounds. The lab (and mosquitoes) can’t wait to meet you!

Kicking off my Bluesky account by sharing a new review I wrote with @lindymcbr.bsky.social for @currentbiology.bsky.social! If you’ve ever wondered about the source of your stank or just want to learn why humans smell weird (it's true!), then this review is for you! 👃🧪🤔 doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...

We are #hiring! Interested in comparative neuroscience? Check details here (www.unifr.ch/bio/en/depar...). We look for a motivated #PhD student or #PostDoc to combine genetics, physiology, neural circuit tracing, and behaviour to study taste processing evolution in #Drosophila. Please repost.

We are looking for a PhD student! If you are interested in Drosophilids, systematics, bioinformatics, fiddling with museum specimens of old/weird flies, and chemosensation, then maybe this is for you! Please rebutterfly(?)! Apply below.
