Scientist for machine learning synchrotron applications
il y a 4 heures
Context & Job Description
The Extremely Brilliant Source upgrade of the ESRF has led to a significant increase in the acquisition speed and the amount of data which must be processed and analysed by the end users. It is therefore essential to provide advanced tools to enhance the acquisition and data analysis strategies and provide online (live during experiments) feedback to the ESRF users.
We are looking to recruit a 5-year scientist to work on machine learning developments for
scattering/diffraction
applications, notably (but not exclusively) for
structural biology
, where the standardisation of techniques makes it a prime target for smarter automation to improve the data quality and the acquisition efficiency.
The work will take place in the Algorithms & scientific Data Analysis group, in close collaboration with ESRF beamlines. Further information about the post can be obtained from Vincent Favre-Nicolin ).
Your Missions Include
- The development and deployment of innovative machine-learning based algorithms for data acquisition and online data processing, in the fields of scattering/diffraction (notably structural biology).
- Conduct an original research project exploiting machine learning for synchrotron applications with ESRF beamlines scientists
- Work with scientists and engineers at ESRF and with partner institutions to expand and disseminate knowledge about the use of ML for synchrotron applications
Expected profile
- PhD degree in Physics, Biology, Computer Science, Science or similar area
- At least 4 years of experience in machine (deep) learning developments (can include PhD years), ideally for synchrotron data analysis or similar
- Strong programming skills in Python in the field of experimental data analysis are required, including usual deep learning toolkits. GPU programming (CUDA, OpenCL) is a plus.
- Curiosity, good communication skills and being a team player is required, in order to work with engineers and scientists with different techniques and beamlines.
- Proficiency in English (working language at the ESRF
Working conditions
5 years fixed term contract.
The salary will be calculated on the basis of relevant qualifications and professional experience.
