Engineer or Researcher Position to Explore Genomic Architecture of Disease Resistance in Crassostrea Gigas
il y a 2 jours
**Presentation of the host structure**
The ASIM unit (Amélioration et Santé des Invertébrés Marins - Improvement and Health of Marine Invertebrates), located at the La Tremblade station, focuses on developing skills and acquiring knowledge in the field of the health of species of interest in marine aquaculture, with a particular emphasis on bivalve molluscs, interactions with associated pathogenic organisms, and the genetic basis of responses implemented by protagonists evolving in an open and changing environment.
Our team conducts research into recurrent mass mortalities affecting the _Crassostrea gigas_ oysters. Particular attention has been paid to resistance to infection by OsHV-1 and _Vibrio aestuarianus_, the two major pathogens affecting the French oyster farming industry. As part of the Newtechaqua project, experimental infections were carried out on a batch of 100 oyster families produced by our team at the marine mollusc platform at La Tremblade. Several QTLs associated with OsHV-1 resistance and coinfection have been identified.
As part of an innovative European project named Shellfishboost, the objectives are to carry out complementary analyses for vibriosis and to participate in the development of a new genotyping chip to refine the position of current QTLs, and detect new ones.
The position will be located within the ASIM unit's research team at the Ifremer station in La Tremblade, under the authority of the unit manager. He/she will work in close collaboration with laboratory researchers and the Sysaaf (Syndicat des sélectionneurs avicoles et aquacoles français), and he/she will have access to the Ifremer Datarmor server.
