Postdoctoral position at the Laboratory of Animal Epidemiology of the INRA

We are looking for candidates interested in bacterial genome evolution, for a postdoctoral position at the Laboratory of Animal Epidemiology of the INRA (the French National Institute for Agricultural Research), which is located in the neighbourhood of Clermont-Ferrand, in the center of France.

The postdoc will have to develop and to use appropriate population genetic tools to study the genomic diversity of closely related bacterial species within the genus Borrelia. The dataset was obtained using a resequencing approach based on next-generation sequencing methods. The aim of the project is to get a better understanding in how horizontal transfers and selective pressures shaped the diversity of this model system, which is invovled in Lyme disease.
