I currently have funds to support a graduate student at the Pennsylvania State University for work on marine ecosystem acoustics, ranging from marine mammals to plankton. Funding will support a masters student (with the potential of transitioning into the PhD program) through either the Graduate Program in Acoustics (College of Engineering) or through The Wildlife and Fisheries Program (School of Forestry). Applicants should apply to the program which best matches their academic background and research interests. Qualified applicants will have completed courses in calculus, physics, and have an interest in animal behavior. Animal bioacoustics is an inter-disciplinary field, and applicants with diverse backgrounds will be considered. Responsibilities pertaining to the graduate research assistantship include, but are not limited to: analysis of passive acoustic data, analysis of acoustic backscatter from an active acoustic system, identification of zooplankton and fish relating to acoustic backscatter data, field work, etc. Signal processing knowledge is desirable, but not required.
Please send a current CV and unofficial transcript directly to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] for consideration. The formal application process can also be initiated through the program of choice.
