Researcher Position in Agroecology and Metabolomics at INRAE Bordeaux

An exciting researcher position is open at the Institut national de recherche pour l'agriculture, l'alimentation et l'environnement (INRAE) in Bordeaux, France, within the UMR1332 BFP, MéTA team. The role focuses on bridging agroecology and metabolomics, aiming to understand how metabolic diversity supports agroecosystem resilience and plant-environment interactions. The successful candidate will join a vibrant research environment led by Associate Professor Pierre Pétriacq from Université de Bordeaux, who also serves as Director of MetaboHUB-Bordeaux Metabolome and holds leadership roles in the RFMF network. Research at INRAE addresses key challenges in agriculture, biodiversity, climate change, and bioeconomy. The institute's priorities include developing sustainable agricultural systems, reducing synthetic inputs, preserving biodiversity, and adapting to climate change. The MéTA team is particularly interested in innovative approaches that integrate ecological principles into agricultural systems, leveraging metabolomics to reveal the biochemical underpinnings of plant resilience and adaptation. Candidates should have a strong background in agroecology, metabolomics, plant sciences, or related fields. The position offers the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research with real-world impact on sustainable agriculture and environmental stewardship. The application deadline is March 5, 2026.
