Keywords
Bioimage informatics ; data analysis ; machine learning ; plant cell division.
Job description
You will develop new algorithmic pipelines combining image processing, image
analysis, and statistical learning (including deep learning) to reconstruct and exploit a 3D+time
atlas of subcellular dynamics in cycling plant cells. You will provide new insights into the
mechanisms controlling cell division orientation in plants and will contribute to the computational
modelling of these processes. You will apply the developed methods to 3D confocal images of
plant root cells collected in various genetic and experimental backgrounds within the frame of a
collaborative project with David Bouchez (INRAE Versailles) and Marie-Cécile Caillaud (ENS Lyon).
Salary before taxes between 2 604,47€ and 3 040,97€; health insurance; paid leaves; contribution
to public transportation costs; telecommuting; social activities. Starting date Sep 2023 or later.
Working environment
The Modelling and Digital Imaging team at Institut Jean-Pierre Bourgin in
INRAE Versailles conducts original researches in image processing, applied mathematics and
computational modelling to decipher plant function, development, and morphogenesis. In addition
to this human-sized, friendly working environment, you will enjoy the green, unique surroundings of
the Palace of Versailles gardens in which our research center is located, within less than 45 min
from Paris. The project involves missions to Lyon and inter-disciplinary meetings with biologists.
Expected skills
You have a PhD or equivalent in applied mathematics, computer science, or
computational biology with a strong background and experience in digital image processing and
analysis. You have a solid experience in programming with an object-oriented language such as C+ or Java. You are curious and appreciate to work within a strongly inter-disciplinary environment.
Applications
Please send a resume, a motivation letter (including a brief overview of past research
experience), and 2-3 references to philippe.andrey@inrae.fr.
