Description

The Quintana-Murci laboratory (Unit of Human Evolutionary Genetics, CNRS UMR2000) is recruiting a post-doctoral researcher in quantitative and population genetics at Institut Pasteur, Paris.

Our research is focused on how natural selection, human demography and lifestyle have shaped the patterns of diversity of the human genome and, ultimately, phenotype variation and disease risk ( https://research.pasteur.fr/en/team/human-evolutionary-genetics/).

The current postdoc project will be focused on exploring both the genetic architecture of different phenotypes in Polynesians (height, metabolic functions, skin pigmentation, immune response, etc.) and the evolutionary mechanisms that have affected their distribution.

Please email a CV, motivation letter and three reference names (in a single pdf file) to quintana@pasteur.fr by **November 30, 2021**. Please put “Postdoc Quantitative Genetics” in the subject line of your email. Interviews will be held soon after this date.

The starting date can be any time during spring 2022.
