I am looking to hire a postdoctoral researcher to work on quantitative genetics of albatross populations using pedigree and genomic data, as part of a funded project on the demographic impact of evolution on long-lived seabirds. The position is funded for two years, preferably starting early 2026 (flexible). The position will be based at CEBC, Villiers-en-Bois, France (seehttps://www.cebc.cnrs.fr/?lang=en). The campus is located in a forest in the countryside, 1h drive from the Atlantic ocean. Gross salary between 2 991 euro and 4166 euro (depending on experience), with social benefits. Baseline working time is 38.5h/week, with ~44 days of paid leave/year (not counting public holidays). The project is based on long-term, individual-based, monitoring of three albatross populations, in the French sub-Antarctic territories. The postdoc is expected to 1) process RAD-seq and lcWGS data and combine them with the existing pedigrees and life-history dataset; 2) fit quantitative genetic model to address questions related to recent genetic change, evolvability and inbreeding depression, in albatross populations. Other potential work directions include analyses of selection, demographic projections, extra-pair reproduction, method development... based on the postdoc's interests. The candidates should: - Hold a PhD in a relevant field - Have experience handling genomic data and fitting quantitative genetic models - Have experience publishing in peer-reviewed journals - Be independent and rigorous For more information and to apply online see https://emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/UMR7372-TIMBON-003/Default.aspx Application deadline December 31st 2025. If you have further questions on the project or position, please contact Dr. Timothée Bonnet at timothee.bonnet@cebc.cnrs.fr (replies might be slow due to remote fieldwork).
