*Postdoc position for ML in fisheries/ocean acoustics for ecological
applications*
Description
We are looking for a highly motivated early-career scientist to join the
Echospace <https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fuw-echospace.github.io%2F&data=05%7C01%7Cjpjobs%40whoi.edu%7Cbe1052bf680648834a0f08daa56af37b%7Cd44c5cc6d18c46cc8abd4fdf5b6e5944%7C0%7C0%7C638004176022390329%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=KBZIt4WN7P%2BKP03PLwc6Ef7zcTcmtgjw2Eeb5aSG0ag%3D&reserved=0> group at the University of
Washington to conduct research at the intersection of fisheries/ocean
acoustics and machine learning. The postdoc will develop computational
methods to extract information from large volumes of ocean acoustic data.
The initial project will focus on automatic identification of fish and
zooplankton in echosounder data collected by ships, with expansions to
integrate additional active/passive acoustic and environmental data streams
from collocated moorings in the highly productive northern California
Current System

The project is in close collaboration with the NOAA Northwest Fisheries
Science Center. The successful candidate will have a wide range of
opportunities to develop new projects, build integrated skills across
physics-based models, data-driven methods, and cloud computing, and
interact with the vibrant ocean sciences and data science communities at UW
and in Seattle.
The expected start date of this position is in the fall/winter of 2022. The
initial appointment period is one year, with extension contingent on
satisfactory performance and funding availability (also see Limitations on
Appointment below). Promotion following the completion of the appointment
is possible subject to demonstration of an interest and the ability to
develop independent research initiatives during the appointment. The
candidate is encouraged to apply for the UW Data Science Postdoctoral
Fellowship
