job offer MMT24-EEAD-01-01 "High resolution agroclimatic variables for field trials and adaptation of cereal crops (CLIMACER)"

[see PD18092024 below]

Program: https://momentum.csic.es

Project: High resolution agroclimatic variables for field trials and adaptation
of cereal crops (CLIMACER)

Location: Zaragoza, Aragón, Spain (Estación Experimental de Aula Dei-CSIC)

Principal Investigators:


PROJECT SUMMARY
Understanding how crops respond and adapt to climate change is critical to ensuring food security and agricultural sustainability. Despite the existence of climatic data repositories, it is still challenging to calculate agroclimatic variables appropriate to the phenology of each crop, such as days of vernalization of winter cereal crops. This hinders the development of effective adaptation strategies. CLIMACER project addresses these limitations with two objectives. The first consists on developing open source tools for customized calculation of high-resolution agroclimatic indices based on public data, which will be used in two case studies of genotype-environment association with barley and Sinapis alba populations sequenced in previous projects. The second is to compile a FAIR database that will aggregate cereal trial data from the GENVCE network along with agroclimatic indices for diverse trial locations.

Tech and scientific fields: Climate change and biodiversity, platform of climate services, high-throughput data processing, data integration and analysis, computational biology 


PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

Minimum requirements:

  • Fluency in Spanish and English.
  •  Science university degree (computer science, biology, biochemistry, maths, physics, …).
  • Programming ans scripting languages.

Other skills to be considered:

  • R and/or Python programming skills.
  •  Software development skills (API creation, source code repositories, etc).
  •  Document digitalization skills (OCR).
  •  Database management and/or data science skills.

contrato FPI en la EEAD-CSIC para genómica y premejora de cebadas mediterráneas

 4-year PhD contract at EEAD-CSIC, Zaragoza within project GENOBAR


ACTUALIZACIÓN 27/10/2023

plazo: del 27oct al 10nov a las 23:59h (CET)

aplicación telemática: https://www.convocatorias.csic.es/convoca

Código de proyecto: PRE2023_EEAD_052

Preadmisión a un programas de doctorado, nuestros estudiantes suelen hacerlo en uno de estos dos:

1) http://dcamn.unizar.es/programa-de-doctorado-de-ciencias-agrarias-y-del-medio-natural-0 (Contacto: Gemma Sausán)

2) https://www.doctorat.udl.cat/en/programes/ciencia-y-tecnologia-agraria-i-alimentaria (Contacto: roxana.savin@udl.cat).


 

Recently funded project PID2022-142116OB-I00 “Genetics and pangenomics for Mediterranean barley adaptation to abiotic stress, pre-breeding and breeding” will continue our research on barley adaptation, delivering genomic resources and plant materials at different levels of the Mediterranean barley pre-breeding pipeline.

We offer a 4-year FPI PhD contract at EEAD-CSIC to help you develop your skill set in computational and plant biology and breeding. Your supervisors will be Bruno Contreras Moreira and Ana M Casas. The offer includes salary for the 4 years, university fees, funding for short research stays and national health insurance.

This contract is an excellent opportunity for students seeking to advance in the use of genomics approaches to study natural genetic diversity and gene function. The research involves experimentation with plants in the field and greenhouse, wet lab and bioinformatics. It will be carried out with barley, a species of high economic and social interest for our country, but the skills learned will be transferable to any species. Check out our GitHub and this blog for more info. Track record: 7 people completed PhDs with us in the last 10 years, 5 remain in academia and 2 work in the industry.

Candidates must have a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree related to Biology or Agronomy and ideally some experience in writing code and data analysis.

The work plan has three goals:

  • Construction of a Mediterranean barley pangenome. This will require genomic data analysis in the Linux command-line, R and Python programming and data analysis. This will be done in collaboration with Agostino Fricano (CREA, Italy). 
  • Discovery of gene expression signatures of Mediterranean barleys. This will require preparation of RNA samples and analysis of sequenced transcriptomic data.  
  •  Evaluation of phenotypic and transcriptomic responses to drought in selected barley genotypes. This experiment will be done in a new in-house high-throughput phenotyping facility (see pic).



DEADLINES

- July-August 2023: pre-screening of candidates and remote interviews

- Application process will be open in September 2023

- Job is expected to start at the end of 2023 or early 2024 (more details after summer break)

CONTACT: Email bcontreras AT eead.csic.es / acasas AT eead.csic.es with a PDF document including a) cover letter, including any references; b) resumé; c) BS and MS transcripts including average grades.
