Biodiversity Monitoring Technician
**Faculteit/Dienst**:Faculteit der Natuurw., Wiskunde & Informatica**Opleidingsniveau**:MBO**Functie type**:Ondersteunend Beheer Personeel**Sluitingsdatum**:16 juni 2024**Vacaturenummer**:13008- Are you experienced in the installation and maintenance of digital sensors for biodiversity monitoring? Are you interested in setting up technical and sampling equipment in the field? Do you want to contribute to biodiversity research? Then we may be looking for you. We are hiring a Biodiversity Monitoring Technician to join our team- Loss of biodiversity is one of the most significant threats to our world. Bleak predictions urge us to take decisive action. However, sampling biodiversity is often costly, time consuming and difficult to do in remote areas. Digital sensors such as wildlife and insect cameras or acoustic devices now allow us to obtain high-frequency observations without observer disturbance, and to sample large areas at times that would otherwise not be feasible with traditional surveys.- Our team at the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics (IBED) of the University of Amsterdam (UvA) has been installing digital sensors for biodiversity monitoring at a range of sites across the Netherlands in diverse ecosystems (e.g. dunes, grasslands, wetlands, forest, urban environments, freshwater and coastal marshes). These sensors are used to assess the occurrence, abundance, behaviour, biomass and movement of species across space and time. The sensors include a range of standardized and automated sampling methodologies to detect and track species, including camera traps, sound devices, radar systems and bio-loggers. The sensors are part of work that we conduct in the context of the Biodiversa+ Automatic Biodiversity Monitoring Stations (ABMS) pilot and the ARISE project.- The Biodiversity Monitoring Technician will install and maintain the biodiversity monitoring sensors and ensure that monitoring equipment, data collection and data transmission is functional and running.**What are you going to do?**
- Your tasks in the project will be:
- Installation of sensors;
- Ensuring that monitoring equipment, data collection and data transmission at monitoring demonstration sites are functional and running;
- Repairs and replacement of monitoring equipment;
- Maintain communication with the scientific project leader, the site manager, and other project partners, site hosts and users.
- You will be embedded in IBED, but on the road frequently to visit the monitoring demonstration sites that are located at different places in the Netherlands.**What do you have to offer?**
- Medium or higher technical education (MBO/HBO);
- Experience with digital sensors and ICT;
- Interest in ecology and biodiversity monitoring;
- Sufficient command of both the Dutch and English language;
- Driver’s license;
- Ability to drive with both manual and automatic transmission cars, and in difficult terrain;
**Our offer**
- We offer a temporary employment contract for 32 hours per week for a period of 12 months. If we assess your performance positive, your contract will be extended with 9 months.- The preferred starting date is as soon as possible.- The gross monthly salary, based on 38 hours per week and dependent on relevant experience, ranges between € 3,072 to € 4,103 (scale 8). This does not include 8% holiday allowance and 8,3% year-end allowance. The UFO profile Education/Research Officer, level 3_ _is applicable. For this position we can not sponsor a visa. The Collective Labour Agreement of Universities of the Netherlands is applicable.- Besides the salary and a vibrant and challenging environment at Science Park we offer you multiple fringe benefits:

- multiple courses to follow from our Teaching and Learning Centre;
- multiple courses on topics such as time management and an online learning platform with 100+ different courses;
