**** 1st position ****
Revising the population genetics of partially asexual organisms
A post-doc position of 16 months, to start ideally on November 1st or
shortly thereafter, is available at INRA Rennes (Western France).
The candidate will work in the framework of a National research project
(ANR Clonix: http://bit.ly/1fNF4U0 and http://bit.ly/VSvnyC) aiming at
providing new tools to understand the ecology and evolution of partially
clonal organisms. In the context of a revision of "neutral" expectations
in terms of genetic characteristic of populations presenting asexual
reproduction, the candidate will work in parallel on a set of synthetic
dataset derived from simulations and mathematical developments, and from
varying organisms exploring different mode of asexuality.
The objectives of the postdoc will be 1) to revisit the "neutral"
expectations and identify the characteristic distributions of Multi
Locus Genotypes under cyclical parthenogenesis, 2) use already-developed
(by the team) mathematical method to infer the clonality from temporal
empirical and simulated dataset. Analyses and publications of both
mathematical methods and their applications will be the main goals of
this postdoc.
She/He will contribute in validating new mathematical and statistical
methods to infer evolutionary forces from partially asexual populations
that will be later aggregated within an update of GenClone software.
This postdoc will be performed in close interaction with Sophie
Arnaud-Haond and one synergetic postdoc (Ifremer, Sete), Fabien Halkett
& Stephane de Mita (INRA, Nancy) Thierry de Meeus (IRD) and Myriam
Valero (CNRS, Roscoff).
Requirements: (1) PhD with a strong background in population genetics,
(2) Good experience of team work, (3) writing skills and (4) programming
skills (preferably C/C++ or python). Phd student that should defend
their doctoral thesis before the end of 2014 are also encouraged to apply.
Interested candidates should apply by September 21th by sending an email
with:
1. A small text including the detail of your skills and competences
in line with this postdoctoral position.
2. A detailed curriculum vitae.
3. A short summary of work previously done, mentioning the date of
submission of the thesis.
4. A list of publications and communications / symposia.
5. Two letters of recommendation.

**** 2nd position ****
ANR Clonix:
Revising the population genetics of partially clonal organisms
A post-doc position of 18 months, to start ideally on November 1st or
shortly thereafter, is available at Ifremer- Ste/Montpellier (Southern
France).
The candidate will work in the framework of a National research project
(ANR Clonix: http://bit.ly/1fNF4U0) aiming at providing new tools to
understand the ecology and evolution of partially clonal organisms. In
the context of a revision of [UTF-8?]âneutralâ expectations in terms of genetic
characteristic of populations presenting asexual reproduction, the
candidate will work in parallel on a set of synthetic populations
derived from simulations and on empirical data on a diversity of
organisms with various types of clonality (corals, seagrasses, algae,
aphids, human [UTF-8?]pathogensâŚ).
The objectives will be to i) test for the influence of sampling strategy
on the reliability of clonality estimates by testing for the accuracy of
two families of estimators, those derived from Multi Locus Genotypes
characterization and those based on multi-genetic parameters, and ii)
infer the impact of clonality on migration and genetic structure among
demes in a metapopulation system.
She/He will also contribute in building an update for an existing
software (GenClone) including, based on results obtained, the necessary
improvement in terms of estimators and indices used to characterize the
occurrence and extent of clonality, and its influence on the dynamics of
natural populations. The work will be performed in Ste in close
interaction with Solenn Stoeckel (INRA, Rennes) and with other partners
of the project including Fabien Halkett & Stphane de Mita (INRA, Nancy)
and Thierry de Meeus (IRD) and Myriam Valero (CNRS, Roscoff).
Requirements:
(1) PhD with a strong background in population genetics,
(2) programming skills (preferably C/C++, an experience with Delphi will be appreciated).
(3) Good experience of team work
(4) writing skills.
Interested candidates should apply by September 8th by following the
guidelines provided at the following link: http://bit.ly/URMeRe (Please
note that electronic submissions are welcome and handwriting letter not
requested)
