Job description
Our team composed of biologists and physicists aim to understand the mechanisms of tissue dynamics during development (https://institut-curie.org/team/bellaiche). Using advanced imaging methods, we are studying the interplay between the biological regulations and the physical constraints that drive cell dynamics during epithelial tissue morphogenesis. We have generated large-image microscopy datasets. The applicant will use and develop image analysis-based methods to characterize tissue dynamics.
Missions
– Use and design software for quantitative image analysis and treatment: Intracellular protein distribution analysis, shape recognition, tracking, segmentation, etc
– Collaborate with researchers on new algorithms to solve image-processing problems for microscopy data.
– Collaborate with biologists and physicists for image analysis and modeling in biology
– Manage team pipeline and image repertories.
Candidate Profile
Training and experience required
– University degree (Master degree or a PhD) or engineer school in Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics or equivalent qualification, specialized in image treatment and analysis
– Experience applying and/or developing image analysis tools using ImageJ or MATLAB.
– Knowledge of segmentation, tracking and shape recognition algorithms as well as Deep Learning and Python are mandatory.
Skills required
– Ability to work in a team and a strong interest in multidisciplinary approaches of life science
– Ability to manage several projects with a high degree of autonomy is necessary
– Must be able to communicate in English.
