INRAE presentation

The French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food, and Environment (INRAE) is a major player in research and innovation. It is a community of 12,000 people with 272 research, experimental research, and support units located in 18 regional centres throughout France. Internationally, INRAE is among the top research organisations in the agricultural and food sciences, plant and animal sciences, as well as in ecology and environmental science. It is the world’s leading research organisation specialising in agriculture, food and the environment. INRAE’s goal is to be a key player in the transitions necessary to address major global challenges. Faced with a growing world population, climate change, resource scarcity, and declining biodiversity, the Institute has a major role to play in building solutions and supporting the necessary acceleration of agricultural, food and environmental transitions.

Work environment, missions and activities

They will work within the ASTR team at LIPME, and work daily with technicians and engineers involved in the experiments. The project is strongly collaborative and interdisciplinary. The recruited person will manipulate and integrate various data types: physiological and morphometrics, metabolomics, transcriptomics and phenomics for pollinator recognition and counting. Therefore, they will interact with local collaborators at LIPME in ASTR team (sunflower physiology and genetics), bioinformatics team (sunflower genomics), at the Toulouse Plant Phenotyping Platforms PHENOTOUL (phenomics) and at the Agromix metabolomics platform.The position is based at Toulouse but missions at the international level will be necessary for project management and dissemination.

National and international mission are expected, Field and outdoor experiments in contact with bees and during summer
