Integrated Statistics is looking for an Acoustician to work with
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC). The
position supports the Protected Species Branch's Passive Acoustics
group. The Passive Acoustics group conducts research in the Atlantic
Ocean, using innovative passive acoustic technologies to evaluate the
impacts of various human-produced sounds on acoustically sensitive
marine animals, to aid in management, monitoring, and conservation efforts.
The Acoustician will be engaged in analyzing high frequency odontocete
clicks and/or baleen whale sounds, with involvement in two projects:
1. Odontocetes: the deployment and analysis of mid frequency recorders
and CPOD/FPODs throughout the Northeastern US to monitor for the
presence of odontocetes across a number of habitats.
2. Minke whales: coordinating the analyses of minke whale detections in
different data sets across the Atlantic.
Both projects involve participating in fieldwork to deploy acoustic
recorders, organizing fieldwork logistics, running detectors and
extracting detection information, writing reports when needed, and
dissemination of data via scientific publications and presentations at
conferences.
*Qualifications*
* A MSc or PhD in marine mammalogy, or a closely related field of study.
* Demonstrated experience in analyzing acoustic data and generating
reports/manuscripts.
* Ability to assist with planning of fieldwork, and willingness to
participate in fieldwork at sea.
* Track record of success working collaboratively with a large group
on multifaceted projects.
* Excellent written and oral communication skills, and demonstrated
organizational/logistical skills.
* US citizenship or green card.
* Prior knowledge of CPOD/FPOD software is preferred.
* Experience with a programming language such as R or Matlab is
preferred.
The position may begin with a period of remote work to accommodate
COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, but will be on-site in Woods Hole, MA
after that. The period of performance is expected to be 12 months. The
position is expected to be full-time, and the rate of pay will be
commensurate with experience. The position is eligible for the benefits
described on the Integrated Statistics website.
