Post-Doctoral Research Visit F/M personalized models of myopic development

Post-Doctoral Research Visit F/M personalized models of myopic development Level of qualifications required : PhD or equivalent Fonction : Post-Doctoral Research Visit Level of experience : Recently graduated About the research centre or Inria department The Inria Saclay Research Centre was established in 2008. It has developed as part of the Saclay site in partnership with Paris-Saclay Universityand with the Institut Polytechnique de Paris. The centre has 40project teams , 27 of which operate jointly with Paris-Saclay University and the Institut Polytechnique de Paris; Its activities occupy over 600 people, scientists and research and innovation support staff, including 44 different national Context Within the framework of the premyom project, we work in close collaboration with Rostchild AP-HP hospital and EssilorLuxxotica company to develop biomechanical models (using available finite element codes) of the full eye tounderstand the difference between normal and myopic eyes. We have already started, in an on-going PhD project, to implement models of the different sub-parts of the eyes needed to predict its motion (cornea, sclera, muscle, optic nerve, and so on) on an existing geometry of a normal adult eye. Through this project, we aim now at using patient-specific geometries, from normal and myopic children’s eyes, from normal and myopic children’s eyes. Assignment With the help of Jean-Marc Allain, the recruited person willprocess MRI and OCT images of volunteersof a cohort at Rotschild AP-HP hospital. These volunteers will do high resolution MRI images at rest, and lower resolution images of turned eyes (looking to the left and the right). These images will be completed by OCT images, which give higher resolutions on some regions of the sclera or of the retina. We would like to have a pipeline to extract the different regions of the eyes (muscle, sclera…), and obtain meshes which can be assembled to be used in our model of biomechanical motions. To do so, developments are required to create an automatized pipe-line of feature extractions and meshing, and to couple them with the biomechanical model Main activities Main activities (5 maximum) : Develop programs for segmentation of MRI and OCT images Prepare meshes of the eye based on these images Combine these meshese with mechanical models of the eye Publish and present the results of the work Additional activities (3 maximum) : - Manage the medical data in accordance with the regulation Examples of activities: Analyse the requirements of {partners, clients, users} Propose **** solutions for **** Develop programs/applications/interfaces of ****,**** Write reports Write **** Test, change up until validation Distribute the *** * to **** via **** Provide user training for the service’s main clients Lead a user community Present the works’ progress to partners, ****to an audience of financiers **** Other **** Skills Technical skills and level required : Advanced image processing (MRI & Optical images) Advanced Finite Element methods Languages : English needed, french is suggested Relational skills : Habit in interdisciplinary work Other valued appreciated : Autonomy and rigor Benefits package Partial reimbursement of public transport costs Leave: 7 weeks of annual leave + 10 extra days off due to RTT (statutory reduction in working hours) + possibility of exceptional leave (sick children, moving home, etc.) Possibility of teleworking and flexible organization of working hours Professional equipment available (videoconferencing, loan of computer equipment, etc.) Social, cultural and sports events and activities Access to vocational training Social security coverage Remuneration Monthly gross salary : 2 788 euros/month Warning : you must enter your e-mail address in order to save your application to Inria. Applications must be submitted online on the Inria website. Processing of applications sent from other channels is not guaranteed. Instruction to apply Defence Security :This position is likely to be situated in a restricted area (ZRR), as defined in Decree No. 2011-1425 relating to the protection of national scientific and technical potential (PPST).Authorisation to enter an area is granted by the director of the unit, following a favourable Ministerial decision, as defined in the decree of 3 July 2012 relating to the PPST. An unfavourable Ministerial decision in respect of a position situated in a ZRR would result in the cancellation of the appointment. Recruitment Policy :As part of its diversity policy, all Inria positions are accessible to people with disabilities. The candidate will have a fair understanding of image processing, and of numerical methods. He/She will be at ease with computational pipelines, and also will have an interest for interacting with clinical and industrial collaborators. About Inria Inria is the French national research institute dedicated to digital science and technology. It employs 2,600 people. Its 200 agile project teams, generally run jointly with academic partners, include more than 3,500 scientists and engineers working to meet the challenges of digital technology, often at the interface with other disciplines. The Institute also employs numerous talents in over forty different professions. 900 research support staff contribute to the preparation and development of scientific and entrepreneurial projects that have a worldwide impact. #J-18808-Ljbffr
