Software Development Engineer for Causal Machine

Le descriptif de l’offre ci-dessous est en Anglais_ **Type de contrat **:CDD **Contrat renouvelable **:Oui **Niveau de diplôme exigé **:Bac + 5 ou équivalent **Fonction **:Ingénieur scientifique contractuel **Niveau d'expérience souhaité **:De 3 à 5 ans **A propos du centre ou de la direction fonctionnelle**: The Inria center at Université Côte d'Azur includes 42 research teams and 9 support services. The center’s staff (about 500 people) is made up of scientists of different nationalities, engineers, technicians and administrative staff. The teams are mainly located on the university campuses of Sophia Antipolis and Nice as well as Montpellier, in close collaboration with research and higher education laboratories and establishments (Université Côte d'Azur, CNRS, INRAE, INSERM...), but also with the regional economic players. With a presence in the fields of computational neuroscience and biology, data science and modeling, software engineering and certification, as well as collaborative robotics, the Inria Centre at Université Côte d'Azur is a major player in terms of scientific excellence through its results and collaborations at both European and international levels. **Contexte et atouts du poste**: The Experimentation and Development Service (SED) of the Inria research center at Université Côte d'Azur consists of research engineers who develop, maintain, and disseminate multidisciplinary software platforms in close collaboration with the research teams at the center. The PREMEDICAL project team, which you will join, is a mixed Inria and Inserm (Idesp) team located in Montpellier. It is composed of researchers in statistics, machine learning, AI, as well as clinicians. A distinctive feature of this team is the presence of doctoral students in applied mathematics who also hold a medical degree, combining medical expertise and AI research. These profiles are essential to improve the adoption, use, and transfer of new technologies, as well as to foster innovation development. PREMEDICAL specializes in developing precision medicine methods through causal learning and federated learning, ensuring the confidentiality of medical data. Its objectives include accelerating the availability of targeted drugs on the market and deploying decision support algorithms with highly precise confidence quantification in predictions. It aims to bridge the gap between fundamental research and its effective use, particularly through software development and involving all stakeholders (patients, clinicians, regulators, companies, etc.). The innovative project you will participate in, TRAUMATRIX, will enable the acquisition, processing, storage, and exploitation of data from "traumatized" patients. These patients, who have road accidents, fall from trees, etc., often suffer from traumatic brain injuries and hemorrhagic shocks. Very granular information is collected from the moment the patient is taken care of at the accident site until their discharge from the hospital. These data have been used to develop causal machine learning algorithms to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions or treatments and recommend therapeutic strategies (transfusion dose, what treatment to give to whom and when, which center to direct patients to, etc.). The statistical challenges include managing missing information and quantifying uncertainty to direct patients to an appropriate structure (Traumacenter) in a very uncertain framework with multiple stakeholders where every minute counts. There are many scientific challenges associated with the projects: Are the predictive models robust to changes in practices and patients? Are the algorithms fair? How to present the results to doctors? How to integrate data from European counterparts? At the end of this experience, you will have consolidated a wide range of skills in software engineering applied to a high-level scientific context. This experience will enable you to consider careers as a research and development engineer in national organizations (Inria, INRAE, CNRS, CEA), industrial research centers, SMEs, and digital start-ups. **Mission confiée**: In the context of this project, you will participate in: **Development of the TRAUMATRIX Backend**: - Consolidating the Traumabase data and verifying data quality to achieve a single usable dataset for statistical studies and the development of artificial intelligence algorithms. - Consolidating/extending existing causal machine learning algorithms. - Creating documentation for the predictive models. - Creating documentation for data formalization. - Implementing a proof of concept on federated learning with the academic and industrial collaborators of the project team. **Development of the TRAUMATRIX Frontend**: - Creating an interactive dashboard for clinicians to visualize data from each center. Participating in the deployment within the OVH environment of APHP. **Principales activités**: The recruited eng
