*Postdoc position – Mechanisms of division of labor in social insects, 
Toulouse, France*
*Deadline: June 30th, 2023*

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.

*Project description*
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.

The candidate will also have the opportunity to develop independent 
research topics that align with general research programs in the group.

*Qualifications*
The ideal candidate should possess:
A Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics, or a related field
Expertise in transcriptomics, genomics, and data analysis
Excellent communication and collaboration skills
A passion for social evolution, behavior, major evolutionary transitions 
and insects

*Duration and place*
Position is funded for 2 years, depending on candidate’s start date and 
experience. Ideally, the candidate is expected to start in September 2023.

The successful candidate will join the CRCA 
(http://crca.cbi-toulouse.fr), 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).

*How to apply*
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.

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 
https://emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/UMR5169-ABEBER-001/Default.aspx?lang=EN. 
Further details of the position or the project can be obtained from Abel 
Bernadou.

Pre-selected applicants will be interviewed mid-July 2023 via Zoom.
