Post-doctoral researcher in genetic data analysis W/MM

Employeur

The University of Bordeaux is a large, dynamic, and responsible university, attentive to the well-being of its staff. Joining it means working in a privileged environment within a particularly diverse and open professional community, benefiting from welcome and inclusion programs, training, and internal mobility opportunities. It’s about participating in an academic, scientific, and human adventure. It’s about committing to tackling the challenges of the 21st century.

Join the From Prehistory to the Present: Culture, Environment and Anthropology laboratory (PACEA)! It is a joint research unit attached to the CNRS, the University of Bordeaux and the Ministry of Culture. At the interface of biological, environmental and human sciences, its work addresses major questions related to the factors that have shaped humanity, enabling our ancestors to settle on all continents thanks to adaptive capacities whose diversity we are currently exploring.

As part of the project GenoMorph, funded by the National Research Agency, we are recruiting a Post-Doctoral Researcher in genetic data analysis W/M.

Votre mission

This project, led by Clément Zanolli, aims to build genotype-phenotype reference models and test evolutionary hypotheses on the human lineage. The analysis of genetic data and its integration with morphometric data will lead to the writing of research articles that will be submitted to scientific journals for publication.
Your research mission will be to analyze the DNA of several hundred humans for whom CBCT scans of these individuals' teeth are available. You will therefore be in charge of genetic analysis, including selection, cleansing and development of a genetic database.

You will work in collaboration with other researchers involved in this project to combine molecular and morphometric data.

Your goal will be to submit an article for publication.

•       You process and analyze genetic data

•       You identify new candidate genes related to dental morphology and structure

•       You are developing a methodology for the combined analysis of genetic and morphometric data

•       You make inferences about the genotype based on the phenotype of specimens from the paleoanthropological register.

•       Depending on your experience, you may be required to process and analyze 3D data from scans.

The + of this position: possible collaborations at the national and international level

Vos atouts / Vos talents

Holder of a PhD in in Genetics, Paleogenetics or related field, you have proven experience in the processing of genetic data. You are a specialist in the processing and analysis of genetic data to study DNA data from several hundred current humans and analyze them in tandem with morphometric data from CBCT scans of teeth.

•       You are methodological and rigorous

•       You demonstrate organization and know how to handle tasks simultaneously

•       You are proficient in biostatistical analyses

•       You ideally have skills in processing and analyzing 3D data from scans
