Offer Description
Post-doctoral scientist in evolutionary genomics for studying fungal sex chromosomes using evolutionary approaches, in the Ecology Society and Evolution laboratory at the Paris Saclay University, France.
- Analyses of sex chromosomes using large NGS datasets of fungal genomes Illumina, PacBio and MinION (SNPs, structural variants, transposable elements, …)
- Analyses of evolutionary genomics (phylogenomics, orthology, selection, synteny)
- Contribution to data production (strain collection and culture, DNA extraction, MinION sequencing, analysis of strain viability and fertility)
- Scientific publication writing.
- Implementation of new approaches in evolutionary genomics.
- Implementation of reliability of results
- Critical analysis of the results
- Contribution to lab member formation
The Ecology Society and Evolution department is located in the Paris Saclay University in Gif-sur-Yvette (South of Paris, France) and conduct research in ecology and evolution, including 125 scientists and technicians, a greenhouse and molecular biology labs. The post-doctoral scientist will work in Tatiana Giraud's team within an ERC project aiming at studying the evolution of sex-like chromosomes in fungi. The post-doctoral scientist will be initially hired for 12 months, that can be extended for at least two additional years
