**Description de l'emploi**
You will be part of the unit “Transversal activities in Applied Genomics” (TAG) and will contribute, as a PhD student, to the project “Transition to safe and sustainable food systems through new and innovative detection methods and digital solutions for plant-based products derived from new genomic techniques, under a co-creation approach” (DARWIN).

**_The DARWIN project_**_ aims to contribute to a fair, healthy, safe and environmentally friendly food system by co-developing an innovative detection strategy by integrating targeted analytical PCR-based methods, untargeted sequencing methods, and digital solutions. This project, under an interdisciplinary co-creation ecosystem based on Responsible Research and innovation (RRI) principals, empowering a wide variety of stakeholders - including consumers - in Europe and internationally; and robustly contributing to the policy making._

You will be tasked with creating, analyzing and implementing a cutting-edge approach based on laser capture microdissection coupled with high-throughput sequencing in order to improve the safety and traceability in the food chain. This approach will be applied to study cases of public health and societal interest and concern, including (but not limited to) the identification of genetically modified organisms (including those created using CRISPR/Cas) and the identification of species in food mixtures such as herbal teas.

You are responsible for the organization, execution and reporting of this doctoral research within the project DARWIN. This aim of this doctoral research is to submit a dissertation in order to obtain the PhD degree.
