PUSH THE FRONTIERS OF LIFE SCIENCES – DATA & CORRELATION SOFTWARE FOR MULTIMODAL IMAGING ACROSS SCALES.
COMULISglobe aims at developing novel correlative will consolidate and extend a collaborative and innovative network that promotes MultiModal Imaging and analysis across scales (MMI) from biological research to clinical diagnostics and establish a global multimodal imaging association (COMULISglobe) to ensure long-term sustainability. MMI integrates the best features of combined techniques and overcomes limitations faced when applying single modalities independently. MMI relies on the joint expertise of biologists, physicists, clinicians, and computer scientists, and depends on coordinated activities and knowledge transfer between technology developers and users. To achieve this inherently interdisciplinary goal, it is indispensable to establish a network of scientists across continents and disciplines, from academia and industry, including transnational research facilities (e.g., synchrotrons, Euro-BioImaging ERIC), to foster and market MMI as a versatile tool in biomedical research and diagnostics. We will capitalize on COMULIS, a European initiative (www.comulis.eu), and extend it globally and sustainably. The network will raise awareness of the manifold benefits of MMI, train researchers, and promote a scientific mindset enthusiastic about interdisciplinary imaging and analysis. The MMI network will help bridge the gap between biological and clinical imaging, identify, fund, and showcase novel multimodal pipelines, and develop, evaluate, and publish correlation software through dedicated networking activities, including conferences, training schools, open databases, and fellowships for lab exchanges, access to research infrastructures, and conference attendance. We are looking for
A Research Scientist in Image Processing (1.5 years, E13, 25%)
To help us drive software development and data handling strategies in multimodal imaging.
Key responsibilities & Qualifications
For the implementation of the project, according to your skill set and interests, you will work on developing, managing & benchmarking correlation software.
Your primary responsibilities will include:
