Postdoc:RNAseq_Speciation_South_of_France
Postdoctoral position in transcriptomics and speciation at CNRS, Montpellier, South of France.
A 18-month post-doctoral position is available at CNRS Montpellier, France (Institute for Evolutionary Sciences) to work with Carole Smadja and Pierre Boursot on the genomics of speciation in the house mouse (Mus musculus).
This ANR and EU-funded project is devoted to characterise the genomics of speciation in the house mouse. The successful candidate will be in charge of the transcriptomics side of the project, which will seek for expression divergence between two subspecies of mice. RNAseq will be used to tackle gene expression in different organs and individuals and test for divergence at candidate genes. The role of the job-holder will be to analyse and interpret next-generation sequencing data from RNAseq experiments and to handle manuscript preparation.
Applicants should have a PhD in any relevant area (evolutionary biology, genomics, molecular biology). We are seeking for someone with a strong experience in RNAseq data analysis and a vivid interest in the role of gene expression in evolution. Skills in bioinformatics and biostatistics are essential as well as experience in handling Next-Generation-Sequencing data. A strong track record and good communication skills are expected, and some interest in speciation and population genomics research would be a plus. Proficiency in English is required.
The post will be based in Montpellier (South of France), European centre of excellence in biodiversity research and known for its quality of life in the Mediterranean region. The Institute for Evolutionary Biology has a long lasting history of research excellence in genetics and evolution and the successful applicant will directly benefit from this outstanding scientific environment while building a strong and valuable experience in biodiversity informatics and genomics. Candidates will not need to speak French and the working language will be English.
Net monthly salary will be 2100-2500 Euros depending on experience.
Applications should be sent to [email protected] AND [email protected] by ***10 April 2012*** and should include a 1-page research statement with date of availability, a detailed CV, and the names and contact details of 3 referees.
