Mons, Belgique Université de Mons Temps plein

**Votre mission**:
Following the Call: HORIZON-CL6-2023-BIODIV-01 (Better understanding of routes of exposure and toxicological and ecological impacts of chemical pollution on terrestrial biodiversity) our project entitled “WildPosh” has been selected and awarded a 48-month budget to recruit a postdoctoral researcher at University of Mons. The scientific context of the project is about a highly current issue and an important scientific question: the impact of pesticides on wild pollinators, not only bees but also hoverflies, butterflies, and moths. Wild pollinators are responsible for the pollination of crops and wildflowers, being essential for human well-being. Worldwide, pollinators face many threats and are often in decline as a result. One potential driver of reduced pollinator health is agrochemicals. While laboratory and semi-field studies suggest that such chemicals negatively impact bee health, their importance and relevance in the real world and in the other pollinator groups remains unclear. WildPosh will address the issue of agrochemicals to ensure the sustainable health of wild pollinators and their pollination services in Europe. WildPosh will provide the first comprehensive pan-European assessment of the exposure hazard of chemicals and their mixtures on different groups of pollinators through integrated studies across the lab-to-field axis. We will develop new model species and innovative protocols for testing chemicals in different wild pollinator species. Using proteomics and genomics, we will produce new molecular markers for assessing pollinator health and enabling long-term monitoring schemes.

You will be a key player within the Work Packages (WP) dedicated to (i) the development of new model of wild bees and butterflies and (ii) the interaction between different kinds of pesticides.

Keywords: Pollinator health, eco-toxicology.

**Vos responsabilités**:
You will be in charge of the following tasks: (i) breeding of wild bees and butterflies; (ii) developing experiment to test the impact of pesticides; (iii) evaluate synergy between the different chemicals.

**Votre profil**:
We are looking for a PhD student with experience in: (i) Pollinator ecology; (ii) Eco-toxicology; (iii) Team work with a real team spirit and qualities to integrate rapidly the team; (iv) Real and proved skills in English language, to communicate fluently with the partners of the consortium and write scientific manuscripts for Peer Scientific Journals.

To conclude, we are looking for a solid stature able to communicate pro-actively with the team, who shows initiative when appropriate and takes responsibility for the decisions. You typically have a “never give up” mentality combined with the ability to work independently but always keeping in mind a team spirit. You are excellent communicator towards different stakeholders (with different cultural backgrounds). Experience in writing scientific publications for peer reviewed journals is required.

**Notre offre**:

- Full time position.
- Total duration of the contract : 48 months.
- Date of start : 01/01/2024
