Postdoc opportunity in environmental DNA The Ficetola lab at the Univ. of Milano is recruiting two postdoctoral fellows, funded by the European Research Council (ERC). The successful applicant(s) will take a leading role in the project "IceCommunities: Reconstructing community dynamics after glacial retreat using environmental DNA", that combines community ecology, environmental DNA metabarcoding and a global approach to understand the evolution of biotic communities in recently deglaciated areas at an unprecedented detail, and to understand the drivers of biotic colonization.   Research description Glaciers show a pattern of retreat at the global scale. Increasing areas are exposed and colonized by multiple organisms, but lack of global studies hampers a complete understanding of the future of recently deglaciated terrains. What will be the fate of these areas? How do animals, plants and microorganisms colonize them? Which are the climatic, geological and biogeographical processes determining colonization patterns? The IceCommunities project is using environmental DNA data to produce unprecedented, massive information on the biodiversity of recently deglaciated terrains at the global scale. We are looking for both young and experienced candidates with a strong attitude toward the use of advanced statistical techniques to understand ecological processes. Applicants for the position will be hard-working, enthusiastic, independently motivated and willing to lead a significant part of the IceCommunities Project, and will join a highly-dynamic work group, with a strong emphasis on research excellence. A necessary prerequisite is experience in the use of numerical ecology to assess relationships between environmental variation and modifications of biotic communities. Experience in spatial ecology will be welcomed. Furthermore, the project is based on the use of molecular data (DNA metabarcoding). Experience in the analysis of metabarcoding data is not mandatory but can be useful   Details on the application The pre-call will be open until we will find the figures best fitting our needs. The post-doctoral position is available for 12 months, renewable up to a total of 30 months. Salary will be proportional to the experience of candidates Possible starting dates are between November 2020 to January-February 2020. No deadline for application, the positions will remain open until filled.   Applications should include: CV with list of publications in peer-reviewed journals; a letter explaining research interests and two academic references. Applications should be sent to Francesco Ficetola  For informal inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact me: Francesco Ficetola, francesco.ficetola@unimi.it   G.F.

Additional info The Institute of Genomics was formed in 2018 through a merger of the Estonian Genome Centre and the Estonian Biocentre bringing together world class expertise in medical, population and evolutionary genomics. We host the Estonian Biobank (www.biobank.ee) which has 200 000 participants and is connected to national health registries for phenotypic information. We run a brand-new ancient DNA laboratory, a core facility for DNA/RNA sequencing and genotyping and have access to a High-Performance Computing centre (www.hpc.ut.ee). We publish widely in top journals and sport a vibrant and international research community of 70 researchers and students.

This project tests alternative models of prehistoric inequality and deathways. To investigate social relations in life, it uses osteobiography, reconstructing life stories from skeletons through scientific data on identity, health, diet, mobility and kinship. To understand deathways, it employs a second new methodology, funerary taphonomy. Combining osteobiography and taphonomy allows us to connect ancient lives and deaths. Peninsular Italy provides a substantial test sequence typical of much of Europe. 400 individuals from three key periods (Neolithic, 6000-4000 BC; Final Neolithic to Early Bronze Age, 4000-1800 BC; Middle Bronze Age to Iron Age, 1800-600 BC) will be analysed for aDNA. The results will allow us to evaluate for the first time how inequality affected lives in prehistoric Europe and what role ancestors played in it.

We are looking for a motivated postdoctoral researcher with a proven track record in ancient DNA data generation and analysis to join our European Research Council funded project: ANCESTORS. How did politics and inequality work in prehistoric Europe? Traditionally, politics has been seen in terms of discrete political ranks identified through differential treatment of individual burials. But this results in classifying much of prehistory, where the dead were treated in ways which effaced individual identity, as egalitarian. The result is an artificially dichotomous history: Neolithic people had landscapes, rituals and ancestors, Bronze and Iron Age people had politics and inequality. In the last two decades this approach has been strongly critiqued and has never been tested empirically.

2 PhD Scholarships in Bioinformatics

DTU Health Tech is looking for 2 qualified candidates for 2 vacant PhD positions in bioinformatics. In these positions, you will develop algorithms and computational methods to deal with the analysis of large datasets from modern and ancient sources. More specifically, these algorithms will be aimed at analyzing sedimentary DNA and microbial DNA. The bioinformatics section of DTU Health Tech performs research in the areas of different metagenomics, machine learning, cancer genomics and population genomics.

Current bioinformatics algorithms and software are often ill-equipped to deal with DNA extracted from ancient soil samples. This ancient DNA shows high levels of fragmentation and accumulated chemical damage. Furthermore, ancient sediments often contain DNA from multiple species and often multiple individuals. Fortunately, several problems pertaining to ancient DNA can be described in a maximum-likelihood framework and computer science techniques can help us to solve such numerical problems efficiently via numerical algorithms and data structures. You will work in collaboration with other partners including the University of Copenhagen and McMaster University in order to develop the next generation of algorithms and software applied to DNA extract from fossils, ancient soils and sediments.

Given the COVID19 pandemic, we will happily accommodate requests for remote work until in-person work is deemed safe.

Hi everyone, 

We have a new PhD position opening at the University of Tübingen! 

The position initially starts for three years and will be primarily supervised by myself. 

The project will focus on ancient metagenomics, ancient pathogen DNA detection and ancient pathogen genome reconstruction from various archaeological sites in Europe. 

Here is the advertisement through our group’s website: https://uni-tuebingen.de/de/214633

Please apply if you are interested or disseminate to whoever you think might be. People can of course contact me directly if they want to know more about the project. 

Thanks so much!

Hi all,

We are currently hiring for PhD and Postdoc positions, as well as for Masters projects, here at the MPI Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig. PIs looking for candidates are myself (Benjamin Vernot), Matthias Meyer, Janet Kelso and Benjamin Peter. Matthias and I mostly work on sediment DNA, so this might be of interest for people on the SPAAM slack.

Here's a link to the general call: https://twitter.com/melanoidin/status/1490984379463925761

And here's a link to my website, the Ancient Environmental Genomics group, which has some more info and general project ideas. https://www.eva.mpg.de/genetics/ancient-environmental-genomics/overview/

It would be great to get applications from this group! We're looking for people with a wide range of skills. My projects are mostly computational, and so programming or statistics experience are helpful. But they are not required! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Cheers, Benjamin

Postdoc on historical coral metagenomics at Umeå (deadline 31st March) https://www.umu.se/en/work-with-us/open-positions/postdoctoral-position-2-years-the-genomics-of-historic-coral-bleaching_604189/

Hi. I am a Bioinformatician from South Africa. Previous experience working on (modern) Plant genome annotation, bacterial genome assembly and annotation, deep sequencing of HIV. I have a background in molecular microbiology, so can do lab work if I need to 🙂 I want to go on a sabbatical to learn new skills (I can apply for sabbatical funding from our National Research Foundation), and would like to visit a lab that does ancient metagenomics and proteomic extraction, as well as a group that does the bioinformatics analysis of ancient metagenome data. I am currently based at UCT (University of Cape Town) in the Faculty of Health Sciences. Would someone here be willing to host me for a couple of months? I could work on a project for you, or could bring my own data (already sequenced) from an archaeological sample.

Just forwarding it here, in case someone could be interested:

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join our team in Munich. The post holder will analyse genomic data from ancient domestic animal pathogens. Our team has already identified key archaeological and historical specimens from across Eurasia, which possess traces of highly interesting pathogens species (e.g. Marek’s disease virus in chickens). The goal of the postdoc is to assist with the generation of pathogen genomes from these samples, and to (primarily) analyse the resulting genomic data.

More information can be found here: https://job-portal.lmu.de/jobposting/a2295cfd01830e7d3349b47dac853f662004b6770?ref=homepage

Do not hesitate to forward this to potentially interested candidates.

Best, Laurent.

Post-Doctoral Researcher Position at the Institut Pasteur in Paris Joint position between the Yersinia & the Microbial Paleogenomics Units

URL: https://research.pasteur.fr/b/xw6

Dive into the Fascinating World of Yersinia enterocolitica!

Are you a passionate about genomics, evolution, and microbial diversity? Are you interested to understand what makes some microbial species harmful for humans and how pathogenicity emerges and evolves? Join our teams as a Post-Doctoral Researcher and be part of the groundbreaking French ANR Project RETRACE: ‘Retracing the global spread of Yersinia enterocolitica & the evolution of pathogenicity within its lineages, from a One Health perspective.’

🧬 Project Overview: Yersinia enterocolitica, a complex bacterial species, is at the center of our investigation. It’s not only found in wild and farm animals but also ranks as the third most common food-borne zoonosis in temperate countries. Our mission? To explore the global spread of Y. enterocolitica and trace the evolution of its pathogenicity within lineages. We’re tapping into the incredible Institut Pasteur historical collection, housing over 37,000 specimens collected worldwide from 1932 to 2022.

🔍 Your Role: As a key player in this project, you’ll be selecting and sequencing the genomes of 2,000 isolates from this extensive collection. With your expertise in genomics analysis (bonus points for a microbiology background), you’ll dig deep into the data, using state-of-the-art bioinformatics analyses to dissect Y. enterocolitica lineages from a phylogenomic and pangenomic perspective. We aim to unravel associations between niches, hosts, reservoirs, and geographic locations. Plus, you’ll work closely with a collaborative team, bridging the gap between genomics and anthropology.

⏰ Starting Date & Duration: The project kicks off on January 1st, 2024, with a duration of three thrilling years.

📜 How to Apply: Ready to seize this unique opportunity? Send your CV and a motivation letter with three references to: 📧 anne-sophie.le-guern@pasteur.fr 📧 javier.pizarro-cerda@pasteur.fr 📧 nicolas.rascovan@pasteur.fr

🌐 Join us in reshaping the future of Yersinia enterocolitica research! Explore the past, influence the present, and pave the way for a healthier tomorrow. Your journey starts here! 💡🔬 #ResearchOpportunity #PostDoc #Genomics #Microbiology #Phylogenomics #Pangenome #MicrobialGenomics #Bioinformatics #Yersinia
