How will you contribute?

You have strong experience in the development and use of novel technologies and approaches for biodiversity monitoring and assessment.

You will contribute to the development of the team and regularly communicate on your work progress during both technical and scientific meetings.

Your main missions will include:

• Coordinating field sampling and data collection across RDI projects on freshwater biodiversity monitoring and assessment
• Leading the definition of proofs of concepts and the development of prototypes for automated wildlife image acquisition (camera traps)
• Developing and improving standards for storing and sharing data and metadata of wildlife images and sound recordings 
• Coordinating workflows and pipelines across RDI projects that use artificial intelligence for wildlife recognition to facilitate exchange, integration and exploitation of data and algorithms.
• Coordinating the maintenance and development of state-of-the-art laboratory/field facilities and equipment to support RDI activities (including the development and application of workflows for bulk processing of samples)
• Participating in the drafting of scientific articles and patent applications
• Generating and protecting IP in the context of your activities (e.g., patents, licences)
