Location : Cayenne, French Guiana Ph.D. Start Date: September 1, 2024 Grant Duration: 36 months ERC-funded PhD in Evolutionary Genomics of Amazonian palms. As part of the ERC Starting Grant DOPAMICS project, we are offering a PhD position in Evolutionary Genomics of Amazonian palms in Cayenne (French Guiana), under the supervision of Mathieu Chouteau (HDR, CNRS UAR LEEISA) and Louise Brousseau (IRD UMR AMAP, DOPAMICS project coordinator). DOPAMICS investigates how climatic adaptation and ancient domestication have influenced the microevolutionary history of Amazonian palms and shaped the diversity of forest landscapes in French Guiana. Within WP3, the proposed topic will aim to retrace the microevolutionary history of palms using "omics" approaches, drawing on genomic data acquired through a large-scale exon capture experiment, and on fruit metabolomic data acquired by GC-MS. We are seeking a candidate with a Master degree in Ecology/Evolution or Bioinformatics and a strong interest in Evolutionary Ecology and Genomics for a recruitment on 01/09/2024.
