Missions

We are looking for a highly motivated post-doctoral scientist to work on the ERC Starting Grant MeioPoly, which seeks to elucidate the mechanisms of meiotic adaptation to allopolyploidy. Allopolyploidy resulting from hybridization between related species is ubiquitous in the evolutionary history of plants. When they first arise, allopolyploid organisms face the challenge of chromosome segregation during meiosis due to the presence of sets of related chromosomes inherited from each of the progenitors. Using the allotetraploid Arabidopsis suecica as a model, the MeioPoly project aims at deciphering the evolutionary processes enabling meiotic stabilization of young allopolyploids with a special emphasis on the molecular mechanisms that prevent recombination between related chromosomes. The successful candidate will develop genetic and epigenetic approaches to characterize genome-wide meiotic recombination in Arabidopsis suecica. He/she will ensure conceptual and methodological development of the project.

Activités

- Molecular biology
- Genetic and epigenetic analyses
- Genomic analyses

Compétences

Applicants must have a PhD degree in molecular biology and/or genetics.

- General knowledge in molecular biology, genetics, epigenetics and evolution
- Expertise in molecular biology technics such as DNA and RNA purification, DNA library construction and sequencing, and chromatin immunoprecipitation
- Experience and/or strong interest of working with plants
- Fluent in English (written and spoken)

Contexte de travail

The successful candidate will join the “Recombination and maintenance of genome integrity” team at iGReD (Institute of Genetics, Reproduction and Development) in Clermont-Ferrand, France. The 15 research teams of the institute aim to understand the genetic and epigenetic programs underlying reproduction and development and provide a dynamic and cooperative scientific environment. The institute's platforms (plant groth facilities, confocal microscopy, bioinformatics support, etc.) will be available to the recruited person.
