INSPIRE ESR6 Development of new algorithms and software to analyse and quantify social interactions and behaviour (LINK)
INSPIRE is looking for talented and motivated candidates with the skills, knowledge and enthusiasm to help the network make significant research breakthroughs. ESRs will enrol on PhD degree programmes and be employed for 36 months in a network composed of 5 academic research beneficiaries, 5 industrial beneficiary and 12 partner organisations.
The vision of INSPIRE is to advance and “inspire” Safety Pharmacology by exploring new technological capabilities to addressing emerging cardiovascular safety concerns. Hereto, INSPIRE unites expertise from academic teams, technology-providers, pharmaceutical companies, regulators and hospitals to create a European training platform for 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs). Key innovative aspects of INSPIRE include: i) in vitro humanized cardiomyocytes assays, ii) unparalleled in vivo hardware/software solutions, iii) in silico predictions of haemodynamics, iv) mass spectroscopy imaging of drug exposure, v) exploration of mechanisms of late-onset CV toxicity, as observed in cardio-oncology, and vi) early integration of feedback from industry and regulators.
Overall, INSPIRE constitutes a multidisciplinary and intersectoral training programme with a balanced combination of hands-on research training, intersectoral secondments, local courses and network-wide events on scientific and transferable skills, enabling future R&I collaborations. Hence, INSPIRE will equip the future generation of SP scientists with a wide range of scientific knowledge and the ability to adapt to a dynamic industry.
Scientific Objectives of the ESR1 position:
Extending and advancing currently available colour-based behavioural software analysis of socially interacting animals by exploiting new micro-GPS based information extracted from telemetry signals.
Tasks and Responsibilities:
- You perform independently scientific research within a collaborative international research consortium (training network).
- You deliver written reports of your research on a regular basis
- You prepare a doctoral thesis on the topic of new algorithms and software to analyse and quantify social interactions and behaviour.
- You publish scientific articles related to the research project of the assignment.
- You (may) contribute (limited) to teaching activities.
- You (may) support the valorization of research results into tangible deliverables.
- You participate to scientific meetings and conferences to present your research to the scientific community.
- You actively participate in outreach activities aimed to promote your scientific research to a wider audience.
- The selected candidate will get in contact with the other members of this international consortium and will benefit from the tailored training programme.
The selected candidate will take part in the following planned secondments: 1. Industrial secondment to Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GMBH &CO KG (1 month, Germany) for training on principles and implementation of GLP in SP studies. 2. Industrial secondment to TSE Systems GMBH (3 months, Germany) for joint prototyping of HW/SW solutions.
Benefits
- The selected candidate will be employed by the host organisation for 36 months.
- A competitive salary plus allowances. Moreover, funding is available for technical and personal skills training and participation in international research events.
- The selected candidate will benefit from the designed training programme offered by the host organisation and the INSPIRE consortium.
- The selected candidate will participate in international secondments to other organisations within the INSPIRE network and in outreach activities targeted at a wide audience.
- Please, find additional information in the Information Note for Marie Skłodowska-Curie ITN fellows
Eligibility criteria
H2020 MSCA Mobility Rule: researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of the host organisation for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately before the recruitment date. Compulsory national service, short stays such as holidays, and time spent as part of a procedure for obtaining refugee status are not taken into account.
H2020 MSCA eligibility criteria: Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) must be, at the date of recruitment by the host organisation, in the first four years (full-time equivalent research experience) of their research careers and have not been awarded a doctoral degree. Full-Time Equivalent Research Experience is measured from the date when the researcher obtained the degree entitling him/her to embark on a doctorate (either in the country in which the degree was obtained or in the country in which the researcher is recruited, even if a doctorate was never started or envisaged).
