Functional Interfaces and Predictive Signatures of Sarbecoviruses: From Intra-Host Evolution to Zoonotic Risks

France💼 Full-time🗓 2026-06-07 → 2026-07-30

Core

Characterize evolutionary dynamics of sarbecoviruses and virus-host interfaces using genomic, phylogenetic, and functional studies to identify signatures predictive of zoonotic transmission risks.

Role type

PhD researcher in virology and evolutionary biology

Builds

Evolutionary signatures and predictive models for interspecies coronavirus transmission

Domain

Virology, evolutionary biology, zoonotic risk assessment

Deliverable

research

Required skills

Genomic analysis, phylogenetic analysis, innate and adaptive immune response studies, virus-cell interaction experiments, molecular biology (PCR, RT-qPCR, cloning, mutagenesis, silencing, NGS library prep), cell culture (2D lines, explants, organoids), next-generation sequencing (metatranscriptomics, single-cell RNA sequencing), virology (isolation, cultivation, TCID50, transfection)

Preferred skills

Expertise in virology, microbiology, molecular biology, ecology, or biochemistry

Technologies

NGS, metatranscriptomics, single-cell RNA sequencing, BSL-3/BSL-2+ facilities

Responsibilities

Conduct longitudinal analysis of bat sarbecoviruses, perform functional studies on immune responses, execute controlled experiments on virus-cell interactions, identify evolutionary signatures and determinants of interspecies transmission
