Applications are invited for a postdoctoral associate position to join our project. The focus of the position will be on the development of machine listening solutions to the analysis of bird flight calls in environmental sound streams. We’re looking for someone with expertise in audio signal processing and machine learning to explore novel data-driven solutions, particularly the use of recurrent and deep feature learning approaches for this task. The successful candidate will join a research collaboration between the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, where the associate will be affiliated, and New York University’s Music and Audio Research Laboratory where the associate will be hosted. This is an annual term appointment with the possibility of renewal, with a starting salary of US$70k. The position is based in New York City.
The Birdvox team is concerned by the lack of diversity in our field, and would like to strongly encourage applications from women and others from communities traditionally underrepresented in computer science and engineering research.
Please send questions and applications to Juan Pablo Bello. Candidates should submit a single pdf file containing a letter of intent, full CV including a list of publications, and names/email addresses of 3 references. Review of applications will start immediately and will continue until the position is filled. We are hoping for the associate to start in Fall 2016.
