De : Isabelle Rivals isabelle.rivals [ à ] espci.fr

Offre de post-doctorat à l’ESPCI ParisTech (http://www.espci.fr/)

Sujet : Développement de stratégies pour la comparaison et
l’interprétation automatique de chromatogrammes bidimensionnels.
Lieu : Laboratoire Environnement et Chimie Analytique (http://www.leca.espci.fr/)/
Équipe de Statistique Appliquée (http://www.esa.espci.fr/), ESPCI
ParisTech, Paris.
Durée : 6 mois, renouvelable une fois.
Démarrage : décembre 2009-janvier 2010

Contexte scientifique :
Les techniques analytiques bidimensionnelles (2D) connaissent
aujourd’hui un fort développement lié au besoin d’analyser des
d’échantillons de complexité toujours croissante. Si le défi
scientifique concernant leur mise en œuvre semble désormais être en
bonne voie d’être relevé (notamment en ce qui concerne la
chromatographie en phase gazeuse), il n’en va malheureusement pas de
même pour le traitement des données générées qui se résume souvent à
une simple évaluation visuelle de « color plots », représentation la
plus courante des chromatogrammes 2D. Cette approche simpliste ne
permet d’exploiter qu’une faible part de l’information disponible.
Nous travaillons au développement d’une stratégie générale
d’interprétation et de comparaison des chromatogrammes 2D en combinant
plusieurs outils statistiques. D’ores et déjà, nous avons pu montrer
l’efficacité du couplage d’une analyse multi-variée avec une technique
d’alignement temporel, suivie d’une sélection des pixels
discriminants. Des résultats prometteurs ont ainsi été obtenus sur des
extraits de plantes analysés au LECA par GCxGC-MS. Le caractère
général de notre approche laisse à penser que sa transposition à des
échantillons de nature radicalement différente peut raisonnablement
être envisagée. L’objectif ultime est de réaliser une comparaison
automatique et rapide de plusieurs échantillons tout en identifiant
les composés responsables des éventuelles différences.
L’ensemble des études relatives à ce projet s’inscrivent dans le cadre
de collaborations avec des partenaires industriels issus de différents
domaines, dont l’agro-alimentaire et le traitement de l’eau. Loin
d’être un frein à la communication des futurs résultats, ces
partenariats soulignent que le projet correspond à un besoin concret
des utilisateurs dans l’industrie.

Objectifs :
Nous souhaitons d’une part améliorer le traitement statistique actuel
des chromatogrammes 2D et, d’autre part, étendre son domaine
d’application. Les travaux auront donc pour objectifs :
- le développement de nouveaux outils statistiques plus
spécifiquement adaptés (alignement sur les deux dimensions,
utilisation d’autres techniques d’analyse multi-variée, regroupement
de pixels discriminants, détection automatique de pics
chromatographiques, etc.),

- l’évaluation de l’efficacité de l’approche pour l’exploitation
de données issues de l’analyse d’échantillons très différents de ceux
sur lesquels elle a initialement été développée.


Profil recherché :
- thèse ou compétences en statistique et analyse multivariée et/
ou traitement du signal et d’images,

- maîtrise des langages de programmation Matlab et C/C++,

- volonté de travailler à l’interface entre mathématique
appliquée et chimie analytique (des connaissances dans ce domaines ne
sont pas indispensables mais constitueront un atout supplémentaire).

- intérêt pour les études en collaboration avec des partenaires
industriels (échanges, réunions et rapports réguliers)

6) Position for a Junior Scientist (Research Associate) in
Neurophysiology, University of Freiburg

De : "Janina Kirsch" kirsch [ à ] bccn.uni-freiburg.de

Junior Scientist Position (Research Associate)
at the Laboratory for Biomicrotechnology,
Dept. of Microsystems Engineering,
Faculty of Engineering
University of Freiburg, Freiburg

The Laboratory for Biomicrotechnology (Prof. Ulrich Egert) offers a
junior scientist position (A13, up to 4 years) for a biologist with
expertise on electrophysiology, cell culture of neuronal networks,
neurophysiology in acute brain slices and/or Ca-imaging.

We are interested in the mechanisms and structures underlying the
activity dynamics in neuronal networks and the processing of neuronal
activity within the network. In joint projects with computational
neuroscientists we investigate how the biological neuronal networks
process incoming stimuli, what determines intrinsic activity, how
pathological dynamics arise and how to contain them.
To address these questions we use acute brain slices, cell cultures
and animal models with a variety of techniques. A central technology
is extracellular recording the neuronal activity with microelectrode
arrays to analyze the spatio-temporal structure of activity.
Recordings with these arrays are combined with paired intracellular
recordings, calcium imaging, microstimulation and advanced data
analyses. New technical and analysis tools are developed as needed in
collaborations with microsystems engineers.

This work is embedded in the Bernstein Center for Computational
Neuroscience Freiburg (BCCN Freiburg) and the new Bernstein Focus
Neurotechnology – Freiburg/Tuebingen. The successful candidate is
expected to contribute to the teaching and training program of these
iniatives.

Candidates should have outstanding academic records and an interest in
translational neuroscience and neurotechnology.

The position is open immediately until filled.
