Intitulé du poste : CDD Ingénieur FLI-IAM Workflow management

Type de structure : About the research centre or Inria department
The Inria Rennes - Bretagne Atlantique Centre is one of Inria's eight centres and has more than thirty research teams. The Inria Center is a major and recognized player in the field of digital sciences. It is at the heart of a rich R&D and innovation ecosystem: highly innovative PMEs, large industrial groups, competitiveness clusters, research and higher education players, laboratories of excellence, technological research institute, etc.
However, the engineer will be hosted at the CREATIS lab, in Lyon.

Contexte et mission : CONTEXTE
France Life Imaging (FLI) is a large-scale research infrastructure project aimed at establishing a coordinated and harmonized network of biomedical imaging in France. This project was selected by the call “investissements d’Avenir” as an “Infrastructure in Biology and Health”. Its objective is a) to coordinate nationwide research activities concerned with in vivo imaging and combine the skills to push the current technological barriers, and b) to provide scientists a convenient access to a complete range of imaging technologies (150 imaging systems) and integrated services. Within this infrastructure, the Node “Image Analysis and Management” (IAM) is coordinated by Inria.
Within this infrastructure, the Node “Image Analysis and Management” (IAM) aims at building and operating an infrastructure to store, manage and process in vivo imaging data coming from human or pre-clinical procedures. One of the main bricks of this infrastructure, allowing to process the data, is the Virtual Imaging Platform (VIP), developed and deployed at the CREATIS laboratory. VIP is a web portal for the simulation and processing of massive data in medical imaging. By effectively leveraging the computing and storage resources of the EGI e-infrastructure, VIP offers its users high-level services enabling them to easily execute medical imaging applications. VIP has, in 2020, more than 1200 registered users and about 20 applications open to all its users. VIP users have produced sixty international publications since 2011.
In the last few years, VIP has addressed interoperability and reproducibility concerns, in the larger scope of a FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) approach to scientific data analysis. Through Boutiques, VIP is able to easily describe and integrate new applications, as well as publish them on open repositories, such as Zenodo, to make them findable and accessible. Through CARMIN, we also strive to ensure interoperability among platforms, such as VIP and the Shanoir data management platform. Nevertheless, further developments are needed at the workflow management level, allowing for a simpler and more standardized way of building, integrating and managing workflows in VIP.
In this context, the engineer will work on extending VIP with functionalities in line with the larger FLI-IAM objectives. The engineer will be hosted at the CREATIS lab. He or she will be under the supervision of the manager of the VIP platform and will interact with the other VIP engineers and the broader FLI community.

OBJECTIVES OF THE POSITION
In close cooperation with the technical manager, the main objectives of the position are:
• Interoperability and reproducibility
- Improve the workflow management system in VIP, allowing for an easier import of complex workflows and a better reproducibility of scientific results
- Extend Boutiques support, enabling FAIR data analysis
- Follow-up on CARMIN and interoperability with other computing and data platforms
- Integrate BIDS support in VIP
• Scientific algorithm challenge
- Import into VIP the pipelines provided by challengers and the metrics
- algorithms provided by organizers, based on Boutiques descriptors and Docker containers
- Handle the data transfers between VIP and Shanoir
- Handle the complete process of pipeline integration, execution and providing final results

Lieu : The engineer will be hosted at the CREATIS lab in Lyon. He or she will be under the supervision of the manager of the VIP platform and will interact with the other VIP engineers and the broader FLI community.

Rémunération : Monthly gross salary from 2562 euros according to diploma and experience - Starting date : 2021-06-01 - Duration of contract : 12 months - Subsidised catering service and partially-reimbursed public transport
