INRAE presentation

The French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food, and the Environment (INRAE) is a public research establishment under the dual authority of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Research. It is a community of 12,000 people with more than 200 research units and 42 experimental units located throughout France.

The institute is among the world leaders in agricultural and food sciences, in plant and animal sciences, and is 11^th in the world in ecology and environment. INRAE’s main goal is to be a key player in the transitions necessary to address major global challenges. In the face of the increase in population, climate change, scarcity of resources and decline in biodiversity, the institute develops solutions for multiperformance agriculture, high quality food and sustainable management of resources and ecosystems.

Work environment, missions and activities

Nature and purpose of the research project to be developed and related activities:
This Junior Professor Chair will make it possible to maintain and consolidate the scientific leadership of the UMR CSGA in this central and very identity scientific field of the unit, which concerns the study of the sensory determinants of eating behaviors and their links to human health. The project may be part of sensory aspects related to molecular mechanisms, at the receptor level, or cellular aspects relating to questions of neuronal plasticity related to the olfactory, taste and nutritional environment, or the whole organism. . The project may also concern the cognitive determinants of eating behavior. The project will take into account the question of specific populations (infants, children, elderly people) in a developmental and aging process, including pathological (anorexia, obesity and neurodegenerative diseases), as well as food exposure and experiences. The project must therefore be part of a multidisciplinary and translational approach.

Nature and purpose of the teaching project:
The teaching project is part of two of the four regional axes (food systems and the use of sustainable resources; innovation and the remediation of socio-ecosystems in the context of global change) which brings together doctoral schools and masters, including one international masters (P2FOOD). The teachings of the Junior Professor will be part of this ecosystem where he will intervene (28 hours CM or 42 hours TD/TP) and will be sourced in students in the masters SCM (Cellular and Molecular Signaling, option "Neurosignalization") and the European alliance FORTHEM. Specialized neuroscience training is led by Professors from the University of Burgundy attached to the UMR CSGA. In addition, he will also benefit from the environment offered by the master's degree from the Institut Agro Dijon (specialization "Nutrisensas"). He will supervise doctoral students enrolled in the E2S doctoral school (Environment and Health) and will present his HDR in this same doctoral school, in the event that the recruited person does not yet have this diploma.
