About this position
The Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) is recruiting one specially appointed researcher or postdoctoral researcher for its Technology Research and Development Division, Smart Sensing Technology Development Center, Acoustic Data Analysis Group, at the Yokohama Research Institute in Kanagawa, Japan.
The position contributes to a project developing continuous monitoring technology for ocean space from the sea surface to the seabed and automatic identification technology for underwater sound sources. The Acoustic Data Analysis Group works with acoustic data acquired on the seabed to detect and classify biological and environmental sounds, supporting improved understanding of the ocean surrounding Japan.
The successful researcher will conduct research and development on machine-learning methods for improving the accuracy of biological and environmental sound detection and classification. Additional themes include multimodal models incorporating visual language models and autonomous construction of detection and classification models using AI agents. The work connects bioacoustics, marine biology, signal processing, deep learning, information science, and practical ocean-sensing technology.
The role is based within JAMSTEC’s research environment and involves full-time collaboration in an interdisciplinary group focused on advanced sensing, acoustic recognition, and the practical application of artificial intelligence to marine observation. English is the language used during work for researchers whose native language is not Japanese.
