Post-doctoral Research Visit F/m Topological

Le descriptif de l’offre ci-dessous est en Anglais_ **Type de contrat **:CDD **Niveau de diplôme exigé **:Thèse ou équivalent **Fonction **:Post-Doctorant **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**: **Mission confiée**: of single cells in a piece of tissue. As the geometric arrangements of single cells is known to correlate to more complex biological phenomenon, such as the immune response in the presence of tumors, descriptors have recently as powerful summaries, that can be seen as generalizations of other state-of-the-art descriptors based on spatial statistics, such as Ripley’s K-function. However, an inherent limitation of current approaches based on topology is their inability to study, capture and encode the patterns formed by the joint interactions of spatial coordinates and several marker genes: as of today, all topological approaches can only characterize the topological arrangements of single cells for a given single gene or cell type. This is problematic as restricting to single genes or cell types is highly restrictive in terms of information content, and can lead to unreliable results, as it is prone to errors as long as the cell type inference method (with, e.g., transfer learning) is not perfect. **Principales activités**: **Compétences**: TensorFlow, PyTorch) and a lot of research experience on topics including topological data analysis and statistical machine learning. Some experience in single cell biology and spatial transcriptomics is a plus. Teamworking, communication and collaboration skills are also essential. **Avantages**: - Subsidized meals - 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 (after 6 months of employment) 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 **Rémunération**: Gross Salary : 2788 € per month. **Informations générales**: - **Thème/Domaine**: Algorithmique, calcul formel et cryptologie Statistiques (Big data) (BAP E) - **Ville**: Sophia Antipolis - **Centre Inria**: Centre Inria d'Université Côte d'Azur - **Date de prise de fonction souhaitée**: 2025-03-01 - **Durée de contrat**: 2 ans - **Date limite pour postuler**: 2025-02-28 **Consignes pour postuler**: **Sécurité défense**: Ce poste est susceptible d’être affecté dans une zone à régime restrictif (ZRR), telle que définie dans le décret n°2011-1425 relatif à la protection du potentiel scientifique et technique de la nation (PPST). L’autorisation d’accès à une zone est délivrée par le chef d’établissement, après avis ministériel favorable, tel que défini dans l’arrêté du 03 juillet 2012, relatif à la PPST. Un avis ministériel défavorable pour un poste affecté dans une ZRR aurait pour conséquence l’annulation du recrutement. **Politique de recrutement**: Dans le cadre de sa politique diversité, tous les postes Inria sont accessibles aux personnes en situation de handicap. **Contacts**: - **Équipe Inria**: DATASHAPE - **Recruteur**: **L'essentiel pour réussir**: There you can provide a "broad outline" of the collaborator you are looking for what you consider to be necessary and sufficient, and which may combine: - tastes and appetencies, - area of excellence, - personality or character traits, - cross-disciplinary knowledge and expertise... This section enables the more formal list of skills to be completed and 'lightened' (reduced): - "Essential qualities in order to fulfil this assignment are feeling at ease in an environment of scientific dynamics and wanting to learn and listen." - " Passionate about innovation, with expertise in Ruby on Rails development and strong influencing skills. A thesis in the field of ** is a real asset." **A propos
