Research Analyst (Technician IV)
The
Bioacoustics Research Program (BRP) at Cornell
University’s Lab of Ornithology is looking to fill multiple positions
at the
Research Analyst level. BRP
integrates across the fields of animal behavior, ecology, software
engineering
and electrical engineering in order to understand how animals produce,
perceive, and use sound within their natural environment.
BRP collects and analyzes acoustic data
from oceans around the world to understand the spatial and temporal
occurrence
of marine animal species (primarily cetaceans) based on the acoustic
detections
of their sounds. Research Analysts perform acoustic analysis of sound
recordings, which involves organizing and managing large sets of
acoustic data,
and analyzing these data using specialized acoustical software. Research Analysts will also collaborate
with other biologists as well as signal processing engineers to develop
and
expand BRP’s software tools, and generate figures and materials related
to
ambient sound analysis and its impact on marine mammals and other
species. Opportunities
will exist for participating in the generation of technical reports and
peer-reviewed publications, occasionally training undergraduate
students, and participating
in BRP’s Sound Analysis Workshop, which trains researchers from around
the
world in sound analysis.
Applicants
must have a Bachelor’s Degree, and a degree in
biology is preferred. For detailed
information on the required and preferred qualifications, and the
application
procedure, please see the Cornell HR website (http://hr.cornell.edu/jobs/positions.html),
and
search for position 12734. For any questions about
the position, please contact Aaron Rice (arice@cornell.edu).
