<div><strong>Postdoc position – Mechanisms of division of
labor in social insects, Toulouse, France</strong></div>
<div><strong>Deadline: June 30th, 2023</strong></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are currently seeking a highly motivated and
enthusiastic candidate who possesses a strong background
in evolutionary biology, molecular biology, and
bioinformatics to join our group at the Research Center on
Animal Cognition (CRCA) in Toulouse, France. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><strong>Project description</strong></div>
<div>The project aims to investigate the mechanisms that
drive individual variability and specialization in ant
societies. Our objectives are to understand the formation
of reproductive hierarchies and the emergence of division
of labor within clonal ant colonies. The successful
candidate will use behavioral and genomic approaches to
gain insights into the mechanisms responsible for task
allocation and the development of specialized roles within
ant colonies.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The candidate will also have the opportunity to develop
independent research topics that align with general
research programs in the group. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><strong>Qualifications</strong></div>
<div>The ideal candidate should possess:</div>
<div>A Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics, or a
related field</div>
<div>Expertise in transcriptomics, genomics, and data
analysis</div>
<div>Excellent communication and collaboration skills</div>
<div>A passion for social evolution, behavior, major
evolutionary transitions and insects</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><strong>Duration and place</strong></div>
<div>Position is funded for 2 years, depending on
candidate’s start date and experience. Ideally, the
candidate is expected to start in September 2023.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The successful candidate will join the CRCA
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://crca.cbi-toulouse.fr">http://crca.cbi-toulouse.fr</a>), a research institute
dedicated to multidisciplinary and comparative studies of
cognition in various animal models. The lab is located on
the Campus of the University Paul Sabatier, in the
delightful, historic city of Toulouse (southwest France).
The CRCA is one of the three laboratories forming the
Centre for Integrative Biology (CBI), which brings
together more than 400 scientists in 40 teams whose work
covers several fields (genetics, microbiology, cell
biology, neurobiology, computational biology). The
successful candidate will work in collaboration with Abel
Bernadou and will be a member of the IVEP team
(Interindividual Variability and Emergent Plasticity).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><strong>How to apply</strong></div>
<div>Applications must include: I. A letter of motivation
(please explain the reasons to join the project). II. A
statement about your previous work and scientific
interests (max 1 page). III. CV + publication list (with
your contribution). IV. Contact details of two referees.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Applications must be emailed as a single pdf file to
Abel Bernadou (abel.bernadou”AT”univ-tlse3.fr) and
submitted at the same time to the following website
