About this position
This postdoctoral position is based in the Santé et Agroécologie du Vignoble unit (SAVE) at the INRAE research centre in Villenave d’Ornon, near Bordeaux, within the Institut des Sciences de la Vigne et du Vin (ISVV). The role sits in a research environment focused on agroecological transition in viticulture and on close collaboration with professionals in the wine and biocontrol sectors.
The successful candidate will contribute to Parsada GetUp (2025–30), a project developing operational solutions based on microbiome management to help control downy mildew in grapevine. The work builds on results from the ANR VITAE project and aims to move from descriptive community ecology toward predictive and functional ecology, using microbial data from grapevine and vineyard soils collected in both projects.
The research is centred on three linked topics: assessing whether plant and soil microbiomes can predict vineyard health across French wine regions; deciphering how microbial consortia act against downy mildew through multi-omics data on genes and metabolites; and predicting the abundance of protective microorganisms from agroecological practices and infrastructures such as cover crops, hedges, and trees. The position combines amplicon-sequencing meta-analysis, multi-omics analysis, and the development of statistically robust and biologically meaningful predictions.
The postdoctoral researcher will work closely with members of the GetUp and VITAE projects to harmonise metadata, interpret data collection designs, plan new sampling and experimentation, and support publication of results. The role also includes producing scientific and outreach articles, presenting findings to scientific and professional audiences, and contributing to the team’s bioinformatics and biostatistics activities.
The project is strongly oriented toward data analysis, visualisation, and the translation of microbiome research into practical strategies for viticulture.
