Description of the scientific environment
The section for Cell and Neurobiology at the Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen (https://www1.bio.ku.dk/english/research/cell-neurobiology/) is recruiting a laboratory/student assistant to prepare fly food for the section.
Job description
The job will consist of running the fly food cooking facility at the Cell and Neurobiology section.

The food cooking will take place in a room dedicated for this purpose and will not involve any GMO work. The room is not GMO classified. The section features a large pot equipped with automatic heating, stirring, and cooling functions. Once prepared, the food must be dispensed into plastic tubes and vials using a food dispenser. The job entails coordinating with section members about the need for fly food on a weekly basis and ensure that high quality fly food is cooked and available as requested.
We expect
The primary responsibility will be large-scale preparation of fly food to support ongoing research in the Section for Cell and Neurobiology. Experience with preparing food at large scale is an advantage. The role requires strong organizational skills and regular communication with team members, as workload and priorities can change weekly. Because high-quality fly food is essential for our experiments, careful attention to detail and vigilance during preparation are critical.
