Julia Mariette
Postdoctoral Researcher
Postdoctoral Researcher in Neuroethology
I am a biologist specializing in neuroethology and chemical communication in insects. After studying cellular biology and physiology, I completed a Master’s degree in Behaviour at Université Paris Nord, followed by a PhD focused on the neural basis of sexual communication in males honey bees of four Apis species. I studied
During my doctoral work, I investigated the function of several olfactory receptors involved in sexual communication in four species of honey bees within the Apis genus, expressed heterologously in Drosophila melanogaster.
I am currently a postdoctoral researcher studying the neural circuits underlying pheromone processing in the honeybee. My work combines transgenesis (CRISPR-Cas9), calcium imaging, electrophysiology, behavioural assays (olfactory conditioning, olfactometry), and practical beekeeping.
My long-term goal is to understand the mechanisms underlying chemical communication across the animal kingdom.
​
I'm currently working at the EGCE (Evolution, Genomes, Behaviour and Ecology) at the IDEEV institut (CNRS Gif-sur-Yvette, France). I am looking for a postdoctoral position or a permanent position on insects neural basis of sensory behaviour.
