Postdoctoral Position in Genetic Improvement of Laying Hens and Crossbreeding INRAE in France

Open postdoctoral position in quantitative genetics , biostatistics , and animal breeding focused on the integration of performance testing of candidate crossbred offspring into genetic improvement programmes for laying hens . The contract is hosted by INRAE and is co-funded by the INRAE département GA and the Brittany region through the BIENVENÜE scholarship . The project is embedded in a public-private partnership between INRAE and NOVOGEN , a laying-hen breeding company in Plédran, France. Th...

Sabrina Amorim, Assistant Professor of Quantitative Genetics and Genomics at Oklahoma State University, is recruiting an M.S. or Ph.D. graduate student to join her group in the Department of Animal and Food Sciences. Research interests include genomic prediction and genetic evaluation in livestock species, statistical genomics, genome-wide association studies, genotype-by-environment interactions, resilience, and the integration of genomic, phenotypic, and environmental data to improve breeding ...

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...

King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) has an open postdoctoral research position in genomics with Professor Mark Tester. The project focuses on analyzing large genome resequencing datasets to quantify non-homoeologous recombinations in synthetic allotetraploids, especially in the Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae . The research also aims to identify the molecular and/or genomic basis for differences in recombination rates between different lines. This opportunity is best suited t...
