Postdoc Acoustic Biodiversity Monitoring

4 maanden geleden


Amsterdam, Nederland Universiteit van Amsterdam Voltijd

What are you going to do

?

You will integrate acoustic observations from a cutting-edge, high-throughput and fully autonomous acoustic monitoring system called Bugg with data from structured biodiversity monitoring schemes, i.e. conventional surveys with repeatable protocols and/or a stratified sampling design. In this context, you will develop showcases with model-based data integration to demonstrate how acoustic observations can complement existing monitoring schemes and how current data gaps can be filled.

You will address some of the future needs for EBV workflows as identified by EuropaBON, i.e., developing an autonomous, network-connected, cloud-based, and transnational acoustic biodiversity monitoring system based on EBV workflows with digital sensors and automated end-to-end data streams. The EBV showcases will focus on birds and include improving species distribution data for inconspicuous or night-active species (e.g. harmonizing and integrating different detection probabilities and encounter rates), outlining statistical tools and models to estimate population abundance (e.g. N-mixture models or indices of vocal activities), and quantification of migration phenology (e.g. migrant bird arrival, departure, or intensity of migration). This will provide a basis for near-real time, harmonized and standardized EBV data.

Tasks and responsibilities:

Handling, assembling and processing large bioacoustic datasets; Maintaining bioacoustics sensor deployments and their automated data streams; Developing and applying model-based biodiversity data integration tools; Statistical modelling of biodiversity data; Working with ecologists, computer scientists and stakeholders from research institutes; universities, national parks and NGOs; Writing publications in peer-reviewed journals to present the scientific results or developed tools; Applying open science principles (e.g. data papers, open source code, metadata specifications).

What do you have to offer?

Your experience and profile

A PhD in ecology, ecological informatics, or a closely related field; Interest, passion and experience with acoustic sensors for biodiversity monitoring; Exceptional quantitative skills and profound experience in scripting/programming (e.g. R, Python) and handling of large and diverse datasets; Willingness to work in a multidisciplinary team (ecology, computer science; software engineering, remote sensing, environmental management); Proficiency in scientific writing; Ability to speak and communicate in English at an academic level; Ability to work independently and self-motivated; Work experience in a European country.

Our offer

We offer a temporary employment contract for 38 hours per week for a period of 12 months, with the possibility to the extend the contract for another 18 months upon a positive evaluation of your performance. The preferred starting date is as soon as possible.
