The PhD student will aim at deciphering the selective factors (e.g. viability trade-offs, deleterious variations, etc.) and the mating signals (visual, olfactory) contributing to the maintenance of inversion polymorphism. Full announcement : http://bit.ly/2JV8AyB Deadline for applications 12/06/2019. 2- A 2-year postdoc position on the population genomics of supergenes and inversions. The project aims at improving our understanding of how inversions have established and spread in populations and through the Amazonian range, and how inversion polymorphism is associated with changes in the connectivity and demography of populations, likely to affect ecological and evolutionary trajectories of polymorphic populations. Full announcement : http://bit.ly/2Jz565A Deadline for applications 20/06/2019 Our group works primarily on the evolutionary genetics and ecology of a balanced polymorphism in Heliconius and on related traits and processes. We are located in Montpellier, one of the world's hotspots for evolutionary biology and ecology, situated in the south of France. Those positions are part of an ANR-funded project in collaboration with teams at INRIA (bioinformatics, Rennes) and at the Natural History Museum (Paris). Please do circulate those ads around your labs and do not hesitate to contact me for more details on the project or the application procedure.
