About this position

This postdoctoral position is based in the UMR ISYEB (Institut de Systématique, Évolution et Biodiversité) at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, within the Department of Origins and Evolution at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris. The recruited researcher will join the INEVEF team, which focuses on plant and fungal interactions and evolution, and will work under the direct supervision of Roland MARMEISSE at the CNRS.

The post is embedded in the scientific framework of the Past2ECO project, funded through the 2025 PEPR Agroécologie et Numérique call. The project connects historical genetic resources from herbarium collections with contemporary biological resources to better understand how wheat and sorghum crops adapt to climate change. This role sits in Priority 1 of the project, which uses ancient DNA from herbarium specimens to characterize historical crop diversity.

The successful candidate will work on historical soil microbiomes associated with herbarium-preserved wheat specimens and their root-associated soils. The research aims to reconstruct how these microbial communities have changed over time by comparing ancient and modern DNA data. A key feature of the project is the availability of an initial dataset of ancient DNA sequences from 60 soil samples collected across France since 1820, offering a rich temporal perspective on microbial diversity.

Research activities will center on the bioinformatic and analytical processing of high-throughput sequencing data, including assembly, extraction of microbial sequences, validation of ancient DNA signatures, and taxonomic and functional annotation of ancient and modern sequences. The project also includes data management, submission to databases, quantitative analysis in R, extraction and sequencing of nucleic acids from new herbarium and modern samples, and dissemination of results through scientific publications and presentations.

The position combines paleogenomic analysis, metagenomic annotation, and biodiversity research in a museum-based environment with strong links to a broader national agroecology initiative.

What's required

Candidates must have obtained a Ph.D. within the last 3 years and demonstrate initial postdoctoral experience. Experience related to metagenomics of microbial communities is required. Desired qualifications include knowledge and practical experience in paleogenomics/paleogenetics, bioinformatics in a metagenomics context, quantitative and statistical analysis using R, and fluent spoken and written English. The post also expects strong communication and collaboration skills, along with experience presenting scientific results, writing literature syntheses, and contributing to publications. French level: excellent.
