The post is funded by UKRI and is fixed-term for two years in the first instance.Invasive insect species have the potential to outcompete or predate native species and bring disease. As mobile devices increasingly support biodiversity monitoring, acoustic detection and identification of insects allows us to expand the coverage of biodiversity monitoring in the UK.We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Assistant to help refine existing machine learning models for invasive species monitoring and be active in the field collection of acoustic data. The post holder will work in close collaboration both with software engineers on the development of a mobile acoustic sensing and biologists who will provide ecological expertise and field collection guidance.
