*Interdisciplinary Research project offering field work opportunities in Northern British Columbia* Zoogle is an interdisciplinary research project merging bio-acoustics, behavior research and machine learning/neural network/pattern recognition. A range of machine-learning / pattern recognition tools are currently adapted and will be refined iteratively during the project time, while acoustic data and associated behavioral observations are additionally collected from a sailboat. On short notice there is an availability for an additional researcher, preferably with a background in bioacoustics, and behaviour research. Experience in orca research is a plus, but not required. The purpose of this positions is to collaborate in data collection and preparing the material for later computer analyses, including but not limited to photo IDs, behavior observations, processing video documentation (generate “ground-truth” data for the ongoing data-analysis). Prior field experience with photo-ID and boat handling is preferred, but not required. Since we will be living and working closely, applicants must work well in teams and have a positive attitude, while living and working comfortably in a sailing vessel with a small team. We do encourage you to use the expedition and the resulting data for an academic work including master/Ph.D work. The project will provide a certain amount of subsidiary for a senior researcher and a junior researcher respectively (detailed information is available upon request). The expedition is scheduled from May - September 2018. A minimum is a 6 week commitment, and preference will be given to those who are able to stay longer. The research vessel is equipped with an electric drive and hull mounted and towed arrays for spatial recognition. Everybody on board also assists with vessel operations, including day-to-day activities such as taking turns in cooking, cleaning and vessel maintenance. This project follows the open science principles, open source, open data, open access, and aims to make resulting tools available to the whole research community.
