I'm recruiting a postdoc for my group (based in beautiful Eugene, OR). Please get in touch if you're interested, esp if you'd like to chat at #ASHG25!
We'll primarily work at the intersection of statistical and population genetics, and we also have active projects related to the ethical and social implications of human genetics (ELSI). Please get in touch if that's a combination that sounds interesting to you!

We offer a master internship to compare behaviours of healthy and chickens under thermal challenge in 2026. Feel free to ask any question! jobs.inrae.fr/ot-27478
Stage de master (ou équivalent) sur le comportement des poulets de chair en conditions de bien-être ou de challenge thermique
Vous serez accueilli(e) au sein de l’équipe GENUTS (Génétique, Nutrition, Systèmes) au sein de l’UMR BOA (Biologie des Oiseaux et Aviculture) située à Nouzilly (25 km de Tours, transports quotidien depuis Tours), sous la supervision Julie Collet et Elodie Guettier. L’unité BOA mène des recherches sur les oiseaux d’élevage, du niveau moléculaire à l’animal dans son environnement. Elle a pour objectif de produire des connaissances en physiologie, nutrition et génétique, et de contribuer à la transition agroécologique des systèmes d’élevage (respect de l’environnement, bien-être animal et qualité des produits).Vos travaux s’inscriront dans le cadre du projet PEPR PRezode Taledz « Typologie des Élevages aux Antilles et Détection Précoce des Zoonoses », coordonné par l’Université des Antilles, en collaboration avec l’UMR ASSET (Guadeloupe).Nous proposons un stage de master (ou équivalent) pour un-e étudiant-e motivé-e pour analyser les comportements et les budgets temps de poulets de chair en conditions de bien-être ou de challenge thermique. Le but de ce projet sera de prédire les états de mal-être ou de dégradation de la santé en utilisant l’analyse des comportements. L’étudiant-e devra suivre l’expérimentation animale et le bien-être des individus in situ, annoter les vidéos de l’élevage, et gérer les données issues de dispositifs accéléromètres et vidéos. Iel établira l’éthogramme des caractères intéressants pour cette question scientifique, et annoter ces comportements de façon individuelle via le support des vidéos. L’étudiant-e pourra également participer au développement des dispositifs accéléromètres pour décrire les comportements des volailles sur un plus long terme selon leur souhait.
