Our team focuses on the uterus, a fascinating yet understudied organ in mammals. Despite its central role in mammalian reproduction, the uterus evolves very rapidly, driven by a continuous evolutionary crosstalk to optimize maternal/embryonic interactions. We want to understand how uterine gene expression programs have repeatedly evolved to produce dramatic phenotypes such as menstruation or invasive embryo implantation – two rare traits that appeared during primate evolution, but have also evolved independently in other mammalian groups. To answer these exciting questions, we combine single-cell multi-omics sequencing with comparative genomics and evolutionary modeling across humans, primates and mammals.

You will join a multidisciplinary, highly collaborative lab and will have flexibility to address varied biological questions within our core project. The postdoctoral project will be developed in collaboration with the candidate to fit your skills and interests.

Skills/Qualifications

We are seeking an enthusiastic scientist with a strong computational background in genomics, population genetics, biostatistics, evolutionary biology or a related field.




The following skills will be an advantage:

• • Prior experience with large genomic datasets and/or -omics data analysis (RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, etc)
• • Prior experience with comparative or evolutionary genomics
• • Proficient coding in R and/or Python and experience with high-performance cluster computing
• • Excellent communication and organizational skills

However, training can be offered in any of these skills as part of the Institut Pasteur training programs and in collaborations with other team members
