Stratégie d'établissement

The presence of fungi in marine environments has long been underestimated, due to methodological limitations and a lack of dedicated research. While their role in terrestrial ecosystems is better established, the importance of their biological and ecological functions in the functioning of marine ecosystems is almost totally unknown. Marine fungi are often involved in symbiotic associations (mutualistic or parasitic) with plankton (plant or animal), macroalgae and animals, and play a major role in the decomposition of organic matter. They act as antagonists to the growth of their hosts, when they are pathogenic, or are beneficial to their development if they help capture nutrients or defend against stress via their specialised metabolism. Some have the ability to effectively degrade organic matter, including the walls of algae. So, although they have recently come to be seen as key players in marine biogeochemical cycles, this group remains one of the frontiers of living organisms yet to be explored. The CNRS, a national multidisciplinary research organisation, uses scientific excellence to advance knowledge, leading to innovations that benefit society. The oceans, which cover 70% of our planet, are now under threat. In France, they are studied via several marine stations, more than fifty laboratories and major interdisciplinary research programmes (PPR and PEPR): the CNRS has therefore set itself the strategic objective of gaining a better understanding of marine environments in order to protect them more effectively. In this context, the CPJ ChamP-MER will develop a research project at the interface between Ecology and Biology based on the study of marine fungi, with the aim of exploring their ecological, evolutionary, genomic and functional specificities in order to better understand their roles and their importance in these complex environments.

Stratégie du laboratoire d'accueil

The UMR Adaptation et Diversité en Milieu Marin (AD2M, CNRS EE) studies ocean species and communities, how they function, their diversity and their future. To do this, AD2M describes marine biodiversity and the evolutionary processes that underpin it, and establishes how these species interact, adapt or modulate their environments.
The UMR Biologie Intégrative des Modèles marins (LBI2M, CNRS B) studies metazoans, macroalgae and associated marine microorganisms. These offer new perspectives for understanding the evolution of biological processes, through functional and comparative genomics, metagenomics, genetics, functional and structural biology approaches. The CPJ will form part of the strategy of bringing the two UMRs closer together through a subject at the interface between ecology and biology, focusing on a little-known phylum that is nonetheless of crucial importance in the oceans. This new theme will reinforce the Roscoff SBR's role as an international leader.

Stratégie Internationale

The selected candidate for the Chair will be expected to implement actions and partnerships in the thematic field and, in particular, to commit to submitting a project in response to European calls for proposals (ERC, Horizon Europe Consortium, etc.) during the 5 years of his/her contract. They will be able to take advantage of the Station Biologique de Roscoff's European network to promote and develop their research project (EMBRC, etc.). His or her project could also form part of the international strategy of the CNRS, which has set up special links with foreign laboratories carrying out research on marine environments and marine stations run by university partners abroad (Germany, Japan, North America, South America, etc.). Its involvement in any international training courses on the subject is expected.

Résumé du projet scientifique

The biological and ecological role of marine fungi remains largely unknown. As decomposers, these marine organisms potentially play a crucial role in the ocean nutrient cycle. They participate in numerous associations as parasites, saprophytes or mutualistic symbionts. Their study, at all scales of life, is therefore essential for understanding the functioning of the oceans and their biogeochemical cycles, the structure of marine communities and their resilience in the face of current changes. The selected candidate for the CPJ will aim to create and conduct research at the interface between ecology and biology, with a view to exploring the biological, ecological, evolutionary and functional specificities of marine fungi. He or she will therefore have to develop approaches in phylogenetics, genomics, cell biology, physiology, ecology and evolutionary biology, with the ultimate aim of better defining and understanding their ecosystemic roles.

Résumé du projet d'enseignement

The teaching will be carried out within the Sorbonne University teaching team. It could be part of Roscoff's professional training courses, such as the Licence Pro Bio-industries et Biotechnologies. The selected candidate for the CPJ will also be able to teach in general courses, such as the Master's degree in Marine Sciences, the Master's degree in Biodiversity, Ecology and Evolution and the Master's degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology, Parasitology and Mycology at Sorbonne University. The candidate will be expected to teach 48 hours a year.

Diffusion scientifique

The dissemination of the results will be done through world-class scientific productions: publications, patents, software... In addition, the results will be communicated to various targets such as scientific communities, media, decision makers, general public, schools, etc., with an adapted calendar. Specific tools may be developed such as websites, newsletters, meetings, international symposia, summer schools and conferences.

Science ouverte

The CNRS is developing a strong policy in favor of open science. Open science consists of making research results "as accessible as possible and closed as necessary". As such, the CNRS aims to make 100% of the texts of publications resulting from the work of its laboratories accessible , in particular through deposit in HAL. The data produced must also be made available and reusable, except for specific restrictions. In addition, the guiding principles of individual evaluation have been revised in accordance with the DORA declaration, to be more qualitative and to take into account all facets of the researcher's profession.

Science et société

The relationship between science and society is now recognized as a full dimension of scientific activity. The project will develop this dimension in synergy with all the partners. The resulting research work will contribute to informing public decision-making. Participatory science initiatives may be initiated with actors from the project’s socio-economic and cultural eco-system.

Indicateurs

The activity will be evaluated in particular on the basis of scientific production (publications, software, patents, etc.), on institutional and private partnerships formalized by contracts, on international presence, on the promotion of work to multidisciplinary scientific communities, on innovation and its transfer to society and on scientific dissemination to non-specialist audiences.
