Postdoc in quantitative genetics and biostatistics for laying hen breeding French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment in France

Postdoctoral position in avian genetics and genomics at the joint research unit PEGASE (INRAE) in Saint-Gilles, Brittany, France , working on the COCORIX project with industry partner Novogen . The project focuses on improving the genetic performance of laying hens through crossbreeding and integrating performance testing of candidates’ crossbred offspring into breeding programmes. The postdoctoral researcher will work with Nicolas Bédère and Sophie Allais in the Avian Genetics and Genomics team...

INRAE is advertising a two-year postdoctoral position in the GeMS team (Genetics, Microbiota, Health) within the GABI unit at Jouy-en-Salaclay, near Paris, France . The project is titled Epidemiogenetics of resistance to coccidiosis in chicken and is based on the EPIDGENCO experimental dataset, where the day-by-day spread of Eimeria acervulina was tracked in two contrasted chicken lines. The research aims to understand how disease response varies between hosts and how poultry resilience to infec...

Postdoctoral Researcher in Genotype-by-Environment Interactions in Beef Cattle at the University of Calgary (Foothills Campus, Calgary, Alberta, Canada). This postdoctoral opportunity sits in the Reproduction and Early Life Laboratory in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, in collaboration with the Canadian Angus Association , and focuses on genotype-by-environment (GxE) interactions in Angus beef cattle. The project aims to quantify how environmental and management conditions affect the predict...

INRAE UMR1348 PEGASE in Saint-Gilles near Rennes, France is offering a Master 2 internship in animal biology focused on dairy goat mammary health and longevity. The project combines 3D imaging , flow cytometry , PCR , image analysis, lactation physiology, and statistical analysis using R . The internship is part of the CapriMamIA project, which aims to study mammary morphology in goats using non-invasive methods and to develop new indicators of health and longevity in dairy animals. The intern w...
