Pierre-Alexandre Gagnaire

**Pierre-Alexandre Gagnaire** Born 07/02/1982 CNRS Researcher UMR5554 – Montpellier Institute for Evolutionary Sciences, University of Montpellier, France **Research area** My research focuses on the evolutionary processes involved in adaptation and speciation, with a particular interest in the population genetic mechanisms underlying the build-up of reproductive isolation between divergent populations. Related interests concern the inference of the demographic history, the molecular evolution and the genetic architecture of phenotypic traits involved in local adaptation. My approaches are based on the analysis of population genomic data. **Previous positions** 2013 ––, CNRS “Chargé de Recherches”, ISEM UMR5554, Montpellier 2011 –13, Post-doc ANR fellow, ISEM UMR5554, Montpellier 2009 –11, Post-doc fellow, Louis Bernatchez Lab, IBIS, Laval University, Canada **Education** 2009, PhD, Population genetics, UMR5554, Montpellier (Superviser Dr. Patrick Berrebi) 2006, MSc, Molecular and Cellular Biology, Ecole Nomale Supérieure de Lyon **Co-supervision of PhD students** 2016–19, Maud Duranton \[co-superviser F.
