Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key phrase here is "direct contact": without a published contact person, the real challenge is not the scientific content, but finding the correct entry point. The position also requires the ability to produce phenotypic data in the lab from the start, so the application should clearly show genuine ease with both experimental work and analysis. Since the contract starts on February 1st, 2027 and the call is still only announced, the right move is to prepare a short, highly targeted application rather than waiting for a submission calendar. Prepare a CV focused on genetics, a thesis summary, and a brief note on your lab experience, then look for the official contact before sending anything.

Countries covered

People holding a doctorate can apply. Skills in quantitative genetics, biostatistics, plant biology, and R are desirable, but the real deciding point is being available for phenotypic measurements and lab work during the first months. This favors a profile already comfortable with both experimental work and analysis.
