2 years postdoctoral position starting in september 2014 in the area of demogenetics

Dear Colleagues,

The flagship project of BASC labex (http://www6.inra.fr/basc) on the 
improvement of adaptive capacities of socioecosystems is providing a 2 
years postdoctoral position starting in september 2014 in the area of 
demogenetics.

The researcher will be based in the CNRS / IRD laboratory LEGS / BEI in 
Gif-sur-Yvette (http://www.legs.cnrs-gif.fr/?page_id=1066), and its 
activities will be held in collaboration with BASC teams.

*Context: *

Species distribution and their response to global changes result from 
both neutral spatial dynamic processes and environmental niche 
processes. Population genetic data harbor information on both processes 
and improvements in model based statistical analysis of genetic 
distributions could help putting them together in orde'r to develop more 
realistic models of species responses to environment.

*Profile:*
The candidate should have an experience in statistical inference, 
bayesian or frequentist, and markov chains.

*Activities:*

The researcher will develop in collaboration with population biologists 
and biostatisticians of Paris-Saclay IDEX, a bioinformatic tool for the 
inference of statistical models from genetic and environmental data 
available on insects, plants, and plant pathogens, in BASC labex teams.

*Recruitment:*
Recruitment will last 2 years and should start in September 2014. Please 
send CV, motivation letter and recommendation letters before july 15th 
2014 to dupas@legs.cnrs-gif.fr and 
tenaillon@moulon.inra.fr.
