Subject: Post-doctoral position on epigenetic footprints of
environmental changes and epigenetic inheritance
Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2022 10:29:58 -0500
Dear all,
The GenEpi team (INRAE, Toulouse, France,
https://genphyse.toulouse.inra.fr/groups/genepi) invites applications for a
Postdoctoral Research position as part of the GEroNIMO project (funded by
European Horizon 2020), entitled "Genome and epigenome enabled breeding in
monogastrics" (https://www.geronimo-h2020.eu/).
The position is a full-time fixed-term appointment of 3 years
(https://jobs.inrae.fr/en/ot-15000).
GEroNIMO is a large scale project involving 21 partners from 11 European
Countries that aims to provide chicken and pig breeders with new knowledge
and tools to promote innovative genome- and epigenome enabled selection
methods, to move toward more sustainable breeding models. GEroNIMO is part
of the EuroFAANG effort (https://eurofaang.eu/).
The successful candidate will lead projects using epigenomic data obtained
from large pig and chicken populations to study the genetic and epigenetic
contributions to phenotypic variation, to assess DNA methylation footprints
of selection and of environmental factors, and to estimate the extent of
transgenerational epigenetic inheritance. Great opportunities to publish!
She/he will be based in Toulouse at INRAE and will join a multi-disciplinary
environment of geneticists, bioinformaticians and biostatisticians. The
successful candidate will take a leading role in the data analysis and will
be expected to use her/his initiative and creativity to identify areas for
research development.
Position Responsibilities:
- Analyze high-throughput epigenomics data generated for the GEroNIMO project
- Lead transgenerational analyses (phenotypes, genotypes and DNA methylation
data will be available for 3 generations in quail, from 1360 animals)
- Study the effect of the environment (heat stress, feed stress or age) on
the epigenome
- Participate in deciphering the genome-to-phenome relationship (eQTL, meQTL,
EWAS)
- Perform (FAIR) data management and submission
- Closely interact with other members of the GEroNIMO consortium
Requirements:
- PhD in genetics/epigenetics/bioinformatics
- Proficiency in UNIX command line and high-performance computing with
experience with Next Generation Sequencing data analysis
- Documented skills in verbal and written communication in English
- Enthusiasm and team player attitude
- Independent thinking (Being a fan of The Little Prince would be a little
plus ;-)…)
No need to speak French to apply to this position, although a scholar level
may be useful for the daily life in Toulouse.
Applicants:
For more information please contact frederique.pitelinrae.fr, enclosing - if
you wish to apply - a cover letter, statement of research interests, updated
CV, and the names of 2 references.
The selection process is starting now and will be continued until the
position is filled.
Best wishes
Frederique
