No open Post-Doc position funded at the moment, but we are always looking for trainees (Master level)
Comme chaque année l'éauipe M2E recrute des étudiants de master 2.
Les sujets prioritaires pour l'équipe cette année sont listés ci-dessous.
N'hésitez pas à nous contacter si vous êtes passonnés par les autres axes de recherche de l'équipe.
Déterminants génétiques de l’adaptation des Woesearchaeota à l’hypersalinité
As part of this Master's internship, we will focus on the genetic determinants of Woesearchaeota adaptation to hypersalinity and their expression. This will involve gathering a sufficient number of high-quality Woesearchaeota genomes from databases and examining their ecological distribution to identify halophilic clades. By comparing the genomic characteristics (genome size, GC content, number of ORFs, isoelectric point, R/K amino acid ratio, gene content, etc.) of halophilic versus non-halophilic lineages, we aim to determine whether there are specific genomic signatures or genes characteristic of halophilism in Woesearchaeota. Using approaches that combine ancestral sequence reconstruction and molecular phylogeny, we will trace the evolutionary history of the identified genes.
This internship will be conducted at the interface of the Extreme Environment Adaptation team at the MAP laboratory (UMR 5240) and the Bioinformatics, Phylogeny, and Evolutionary Genomics team at the LBBE (UMR 5558).
It is supervised by Mylène Hugoni (MAP) and Céline Brochier-Armanet (LBBE).
Not at M2E, but almost ;-)
As part of the ANR MetHalo project coordinated by the M2E team, our colleagues at the ICBMS (INSA Lyon) are seeking a candidate to synthesize the degradation products of chlordecone, a heavily used perchlorinated compound in banana plantations to combat the banana weevil.
This internship is supervised by
