  • Demonstrated interest in and ability to contribute to interdisciplinary research spanning marine biology, bioacoustics, engineering, and data science.
  • Ability and willingness to work in a variety of laboratory, field, and marine research environments, including conditions that may require flexibility in scheduling and work location.

Desired Experience
  • Master's degree in Marine Science, Bioengineering, Biology, Engineering, or a related field.
  • Certified SCUBA diver with demonstrated diving proficiency and experience; AAUS certification is preferred.
  • MATLAB and related scientific programming or coding experience.
  • Acoustic analysis and bioacoustics experience.
  • Experience conducting acoustic calibrations.
  • Machine learning analysis, preferably involving acoustic or soundscape data.
  • Experience working with large datasets and scientific data management.
  • Small boat operation and related field research experience.
