Postdoctoral Fellow in Genomics and Comparative Genomics

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 02:12:32 -0500

Environnement de travail (Work environment):
The successful candidate will join a dynamic research group working
on the ecology and evolution of host'parasite'environment
interactions in non-model organisms, particularly snail vectors and
its trematode parasites. She/He will conduct genomic analyses aimed at
understanding host'parasite coevolution and the genetic architecture
of resistance in the invasive snail Pseudosuccinea columella to the
zoonotic parasite Fasciola hepatica. This thematic line is embedded
within the regional scientific project InvaSnail financed by the
ExposUM initiative from the Montpellier. The position is based in
Montpellier, a vibrant scientific hub in Southern France internationally
recognized for excellence in ecology and evolutionary biology. The IHPE
laboratory provides a collaborative research environment with access
to high-performance computing facilities, sequencing platforms, and
strong interdisciplinary interactions across research institutions in
the Montpellier area. University

Main mission:

Develop and implement strategies for whole-genome sequencing of non-model
species
Generate high-quality de novo genome assemblies using short- and long-read
sequencing technologies
Perform genome annotation and structural/functional characterization
Conduct comparative genomic analyses across related species or populations
Design and implement genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to identify
loci associated with phenotypic or adaptive traits
Integrate genomic, phenotypic, and environmental datasets
Contribute to the development of reproducible bioinformatics pipelines

ActivitÃ©s (Activities):

Lead the genomic component of the research project
High-molecular-weight DNA extraction optimization
Long-read genome assembly (PacBio HiFi / ONT)
Genome polishing and quality assessment (BUSCO, QUAST)
Structural and functional annotation
Variant discovery (SNPs, indels, SVs)
Population genomic analyses (FST, demographic inference)
Mixed-model GWAS accounting for structure
Workflow development (Snakemake/Nextflow)
HPC-based pipeline implementation
Publish results in peer-reviewed journals
Present findings at international conferences
Collaborate with experimental and computational team members
Contribute to project development
Mentor graduate students when appropriate

Bioinformatics related group

Rahul Agarwal — Sun, 09 Feb 2020 03:17:16 -0600

FaBI emerged from the respective groups of the four founding societies GI (German Informatics Society), DECHEMA (Society for Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology), GBM (Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) and GDCh (German Chemical Society). In fall 2015, the GMDS (German Society for Medical Informatics, Biometry, and Epidemiology) joined FaBI. FaBI represents more than 750 members today and considers itself as a joint representation of interests of bioinformatics research in Germany and as an interlocutor for politics, economy, and society aiming at a strong informatics-based life science research.

Research Rabbit

LEGE — Fri, 07 Apr 2023 12:01:33 -0500

You’re determined students, passionate teachers, and inspired creators of everything we know! Yet, all the researchers we spoke with over the past year uncovered the same reality:

Despite the degrees you’ve earned, the effort and passion you put in every day, the sacrifices you make – academia burdens you with tons of stressors. Financial, psychological, physical, and more.

We’re an unconventional team with backgrounds in various fields – both inside and outside of academia. And through our lens, it’s clear that academia deeply undervalues and underserves its very own community!

It’s time to reimagine research.

Blobsplorer

Jit — Tue, 14 Jun 2016 10:28:58 -0500

Blobsplorer is a tool for interactive visualization of assembled DNA sequence data ("contigs") derived from (often unintentionally) mixed-species pools. It allows the simultaneous display of GC content, coverage, and taxonomic annotation for collections of contigs with a view to separating out those belonging to different taxa.

Blobsplorer is unlikely to be of use on its own as it requires contig data to be supplied in a format that involves considerable preprocessing (see below for a description). The easiest way to use Blobsplorer is as part of a workflow using scripts from here.
