Vos missions en quelques mots
Presentation of the host laboratory UMR SecAlim is under the supervision of Oniris VetAgroBIo and INRAE. The unit's missions are to produce and disseminate knowledge and scientific methods in the 1 field of microbiological food safety to respond to industrial challenges and societal demands for public health and control of food loss. Its research actions aim to characterize and control the microbial risk (health and spoilage) in food products. Molecular, classical and predictive microbiology methods are used to understand, quantify and model the behavior of microorganisms during food processing, at the scale of the microbial ecosystem or at the scale of model bacterial species. A better assessment of microbiological risk makes it possible to provide expert and innovative solutions to ensure the microbiological safety of foods.
Profil recherché
Diploma requirements: professional Bachelor's degree or Master 2, or equivalent, in food microbiology or related disciplines. Desired knowledge and skills: rapid adaptability and autonomy, ability to work in a group, ability to listen and share tasks, usual food microbiology analyses, writing and organizational skills, communication skills in English (oral and written). The candidate will work in a class 2 biological safety level laboratory.

Qui sommes-nous ?
The French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food, and Environment (INRAE) is a major player in research and innovation. It is a community of 12,000 people with 272 research, experimental research, and support units located in 18 regional centres throughout France. Internationally, INRAE is among the top research organisations in the agricultural and food sciences, plant and animal sciences, as well as in ecology and environmental science. It is the world’s leading research organisation specialising in agriculture, food and the environment. INRAE’s goal is to be a key player in the transitions necessary to address major global challenges. Faced with a growing world population, climate change, resource scarcity, and declining biodiversity, the Institute has a major role to play in building solutions and supporting the necessary acceleration of agricultural, food and environmental transitions.
Descriptif du service
Description Campylobacter has been the main cause of zoonoses in the European Union for twenty years, causing gastrointestinal symptoms and sometimes serious complications such as Guillain-Barré syndromes. Although Campylobacter jejuni cannot multiply in the presence of oxygen or at temperatures below 30°C, it survives various environmental stresses encountered during food processing. As part of the European HOLiFOOD project (Holistic approach for tackling food systems risks in a changing global environment), we are recruiting a research assistant for a period of one year, beginning the 01/11/2024. In collaboration with a newly recruited PhD student, this research assistant will be responsible for: (i) setting up experimental protocols to quantitatively evaluate the behavior of Campylobacter at various physico-chemical parameters, (ii) carry out the experiments, and (iii) analyze/interpret the results obtained. This work will be carried out in collaboration with Wageningen University; meetings in English are to be expected.
