This position will be based in the K. Lisa Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics (Yang Center), one of six programmatic centers within the Lab. The Yang Center’s mission is to collect and interpret sounds in nature by developing and applying innovative technologies across multiple ecologically relevant scales to inspire and inform the conservation of wildlife and habitats. Our highly interdisciplinary team of scientists, educators, engineers, students, and research support personnel are working with many national and international collaborators on a wide variety of terrestrial, aquatic, and marine bioacoustic research projects tackling conservation issues worldwide.
The incumbent will join a research group led by Dr. Dena J. Clink to develop, evaluate, and apply quantitative methods for large-scale biodiversity monitoring and conservation. The research will leverage existing passive acoustic monitoring datasets from Southeast Asia, with a focus on priority taxa, including gibbons, langurs, Asian elephants, and focal bird species such as green peafowl, giant ibis, and sarus crane. The successful candidate will build reproducible machine learning pipelines, integrate detections into spatial ecological models, and generate conservation-relevant outputs for regional partners.
