The French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food, and the Environment (INRAE) is seeking applications for a postdoctoral position in synthetic biology and microbiology at the UMR INRAE BFP unit in Villenave d'Ornon, France. This role is part of the TARGET Project, focusing on advancing the cultivation of noncultivable bacteria, particularly the plant-pathogenic Flavescence Dore phytoplasma. The interdisciplinary research involves microbiology, culturomics, genetic engineering, systems biology, and computational modeling. The ideal candidate should hold a PhD in microbiology, metabolomics, systems biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, or a related field. Experience with transcriptomics and/or LC-MS-based metabolomics is required. Knowledge in metabolic modeling or biochemical pathway analysis is advantageous. A background in microbiology, molecular biology, or bioinformatics is preferred, along with skills in RT-qPCR, metabolic imaging, or protein expression/purification. As a postdoctoral researcher, your responsibilities will include developing and validating methods to differentiate phytoplasma metabolic responses from host organisms using transcriptomics and metabolomics. Conducting targeted and untargeted metabolomics to identify metabolites in infected and healthy host tissues, utilizing metabolic imaging techniques to map metabolite distributions, and integrating multi-omics data to infer host-pathogen metabolic interactions. Additionally, you will support metabolic modeling, perform biochemical analyses, collaborate with bioinformaticians, and contribute to scientific publications and presentations. The benefits of this position include a gross monthly salary ranging between 3,135 and 4,544, depending on experience and profile. You will be entitled to up to 30 days of annual leave plus 15 days of reduced working time. The institute offers parenting support, skills development opportunities, social support, leisure benefits, access to sports and cultural activities, and collective catering. Interested candidates are required to submit a detailed CV, a cover letter outlining research interests and motivation, and contact details for two references to Dr. Pierre Ptriacq (pierre.petriacq@inrae.fr) and Dr. Bessem Chouaia (bessem.chouaia@inrae.fr). Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled. For any inquiries, please reach out to the supervisors using the provided email addresses. The anticipated start date for this position is October 1, 2025, with a contract duration of 23 months, renewable for an additional 24 months.
