Nantes, France Ifremer Temps plein

The holobiont approach aims to assess the health of host organisms in the context of their associated microbiomes. Studies have demonstrated a clear association between shifts in the composition of microbiomes in response to changes in the surrounding environment and disturbances in host physiology or fitness. Interactions within microbiomes are important for their hosts. However, those are still rarely investigated and remain poorly understood, particularly regarding the mechanisms leading to adverse outcomes for hosts organisms.

In this context, the Ifremer Blue Chair in "Contaminants, Sea and Health" investigates how marine invertebrates (bivalve molluscs) and toxic microalgae are affected by the chemical exposome and the consequences for ecosystem functions and human health (“one health” concept), with a particular focus on the microbiome associated with these species. This highly collaborative programme benefits from the interactions between research units at the Ifremer Atlantic centre in Nantes. The expertise of these units is in the evaluation of the quality of marine waters and the contaminants that affect them, the land-sea continuum and the cumulative impacts of human activities, and the management of aquaculture and fisheries resources.

**Main missions**:
In recent years, Ifremer produced different sets of metagenomic data to study microbiomes associated with microalgal communities or marine bivalves. The main objective of this postdoctoral position in to better comprehend microbiome functions and interactions between partners (within microbiome and with the host organism) in aquatic organisms.

Missions will include the collection and processing of metabarcoding and WGS data, the re-examination of pre-existing data, and the development of multi-omic analyses in microalgae, bivalves or food products. All the results will be valorised in international conference, publication and outreach events.

**Collaborative work environment**:
Researchers, engineers, lab technicians and PhD students from CCEM, PHYTOX and MASAE units in Nantes and SEBIMER in Brest. Opportunities to participate in national and international conferences and workshops.

PhD in microbial ecology, molecular biology, bioinformatics, computational biology.
- Experience in metabarcoding, metagenomics or metatranscriptomics.
- Experience with multivariate statistical analyses will be an asset.
- Ability to work in a team, interest for collaborative projects.
- Good knowledge and hands-on experience in DNA/RNA extraction.
- Experience with Next Generation Sequencing techniques and dedicated bioinformatic tools.
- High degree of autonomy and critical thinking.
- High motivation for lab work.
- Excellent scientific writing and results presentation skills.

24-month fixed-term post-doctoral fellowship based on the campus of the Ifremer Atlantic Centre, in Nantes
