PhD in Biology: Evolutionary Sensory Neurobiology of Plankton CNRS in France

PhD position in comparative regulatory genomics at CNRS , based at the Laboratory for Biometry and Evolutionary Biology (LBBE) in Lyon/Villeurbanne, France, with supervision by Anamaria Necsulea (LBBE, Lyon) and Benoît Ballester (TAGC, Marseille). The project, funded under the ANR EXONHANCER program, focuses on the evolutionary origins and trajectories of exonic enhancers across vertebrate species. The research asks how coding and regulatory constraints jointly shape the evolution of exonic enha...

TAGC laboratory at Aix-Marseille Université / INSERM U1090 in Marseille, France is recruiting a fully funded PhD candidate for a project on deep learning for genomics and L1 retrotransposon pathogenicity . The research focuses on building machine learning and deep learning models to predict how novel L1 retrotransposon insertions affect gene transcriptional activity. The project combines public genomic datasets with in-house functional data and uses explainability approaches such as SHAP and in-...

Postdoctoral position in bacterial genomics and evolutionary biology at Institut Pasteur, Paris, France . The project, led by François-Xavier Weill , focuses on Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi and aims to reconstruct the twentieth-century global evolution of this pathogen using a unique historical genomic resource. More than 500 historical isolates collected worldwide between 1950 and 1980 have already been whole-genome sequenced, and each isolate has an original Vi phage-type designation. Th...
