Hi everyone, we are looking for a postdoc to work on the determinants of cross-species transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) . HPAI viruses are spreading not only across continents but also across species, and key questions remain about when and why viruses jump species, is this mainly driven by genetic or ecological factors? This work would help to anticipate zoonotic emergence events. The postdoc will be part of the [ https://prezode-initiative.org/en/first-four-pepr-projects-have-been-selected/ | ZOOFLU ] p roject (ANR-23-PEPZ-0005) with collaboration with the consortium, ETH Z�rich and North Carolina State University. This is a computationally oriented, laptop-based position , relying on phylodynamics, evolutionary analyses, and case study datasets . We are therefore looking for someone with prior experience in phylodynamic analyses , who is able to work independently and contribute analytically. You will join our [ https://epidesa.inrae.envt.fr/ | epidesa ] team with a very good working atmosphere at [ https://www.inrae.fr/en | INRAE ] -ENVT within the Host-Pathogens Interactions [ https://ihap.fr/ | IHAP ] unit, located in Toulouse, France.
