Description

Post-doctorate or engineer in Microbial Environmental Bio-informatics

The project aims to improve fundamental knowledge of the microbiome/plant interactions in the phyllosphere, the aerial parts of plants.

The selected candidate will be in charge of bio-informatic analysis of metabarcoding datasets (16S rRNA gene amplicon Illumina PE sequencing) of methylotophic communities from cultivated crops under controlled conditions and samplings (plant development stage, hydric stress, CO2 influx, temperature).

A complementary mission includes analyzing high-quality long reads from sequenced genomes of isolated methylotrophs that promote crop growth under climate change-like stress.
