Post-doctoral Positions in Marine Sciences: The Wyeth Lab is seeking qualified candidates for two post-doctoral positions focused on marine research. The projects involve the study of American lobster foraging behavior and the development of AI-based solutions for biofouling analysis. Both positions are pending funding approval, and applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
Designation:
Post-doctoral Researcher
| Position | Research Area | Location | Eligibility/Qualification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Post-doctoral Position #1: Foraging behaviour of American Lobster and development of alternative baits for the fishery | Marine Ecology, Fisheries Management | Wyeth Lab, Canada | PhD in relevant field; experience in marine field work, ethology, video analysis or AI tools preferred |
| Post-doctoral Position #2: AI-based quantification of biofouling community growth and diversity | Marine Science, AI-based Image Analysis | Wyeth Lab, Canada | PhD in AI image analysis; experience in marine biofouling is an asset |
Job Description:
- Post-doctoral Position #1: This role focuses on understanding American lobster foraging responses to natural prey and baits, utilizing Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUV). The candidate may work on collaborations with alternative bait developers, retrospective analysis of BRUV data, or development of AI systems for lobster detection.
- Post-doctoral Position #2: The candidate will develop an AI-based solution for analyzing biofouling images, focusing on automating species identification and quantification. The goal is to create workflows that are easily shared and implemented for the analysis of marine macrofouling.
How to Apply:
