Postdoctoral Research Associate in Time Series Analysis

Wytham, with option for overseas fieldwork for 3 months

We look for an enthusiastic researcher to join the interdisciplinary team studying why elephants use seismic communication. The project, under the leadership of Dr Beth Mortimer, leverages a unique dataset: 4 months worth of multimodal data from camera traps, seismic and acoustic sensors deployed in Kenya. 

This replacement postdoctoral research assistant post is available to join the Animal Vibration Lab due to the previous postholder achieving a promotion within the Department. You will have a keen and clear interest in working at the life/physical sciences interface and have experience using Python software for time series data analysis. You should be able to demonstrate how your experience and interest can be applied to this unique dataset. You will benefit from a vibrant and inclusive research community, with career development support.
