WWF Report & Post-Doctoral Fellowship Opportunity WWF Report on Wildlife Population

A recent report issued by theWWF states that there has been a catastrophic decline in wildlife population in recent years. A large number of species are threatened with extinction due to a number of factors. Further conservation efforts are still urgently required to ensure the survival of the remaining individuals.

Fellowship Opportunity

TheAfrican Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) andStellenbosch University are looking to appoint a post-doctoral fellow to work in the area of deep learning and bioacoustics. The fellow will work as part of a collaborative team of local and international researchers to address important conservation issues.

This fellowship aims at investigating deep learning models for passive acoustic monitoring of animal species. The data will primarily be acoustic data, however additional sources may be used to supplement the investigation. The fellow will research state-of-the-art techniques in deep learning and mathematics to address critical conservation problems. The fellow will develop software code for audio processing, and suitable deep neural networks, typically in TensorFlow or other libraries. Research outputs will be submitted to Q1 ranked international journals.

The fellow will work closely withDr. Emmanuel Dufourq and theMachine Learning for Ecology Research Group . The fellow will work at AIMS South Africa which is located in the beautiful city of Muizenberg, Cape Town, South Africa. AIMS is located just a few meters from Muizenberg beach! The fellow will also have the opportunity to travel to Rwanda and contribute to AIMS Rwanda.

Core Responsibilities
  • Participate fully in the project including research design, literature review, software and model implementation, data analysis, data annotation, writing manuscripts, and giving academic talks.
  • Maintain research code in a GitHub repository and use current programming practices.
  • Actively participate in research meetings and take initiative to grow the group’s collaborative network.
  • Co-supervise students in the area of deep learning for wildlife monitoring.
  • Assist the research group in research and academic tasks.
  • 40 hours of research work per week.
Requirements
  • Ph.D. in a relevant mathematical science (e.g. computer science, mathematics, …).
  • Strong experience in deep learning (TensorFlow, PyTorch,…) and Python programming.
  • Clear evidence of completed deep learning projects in computer vision or audio tasks.
  • Good mathematical and problem solving skills as the candidate will actively engage in this.
  • A strong desire to apply machine learning to bioacoustics problems.
  • Proven ability to publish in reputable peer-reviewed journals (Q1 or Q2 ranked, check ranking here).
  • Strong communication skills (English written, oral, and presentation).

If you’re excited to help with animal conservation and use deep learning to achieve this, then you should apply! If you love to code and chat about research, then you’ll have a great time!

The award is compliant with the SARS rules for tax exemption and is tenable for two years, subject to submission of a satisfactory progress report and the availability of funds. Tax is not paid on this funding, and thus the candidate would have full access to the funds. Note that this is not a remote position, and the fellow will have to be present at AIMS South Africa for the duration of the fellowship. The fellow will be responsible for their living arrangements and visa application if needed. Candidates who are immediately able to come to Cape Town are encouraged to apply.

Start date

Immediately, in-person in Cape Town

Applications must include
  1. A complete CV,
  2. Proof of Ph.D. completion,
  3. A covering letter detailing the candidate’s experience (especially in deep learning for computer vision or audio), availability to start, and explain your interest in machine learning for bioacoustics. Propose a tentative research project related to this call, and how you would address the research question. Cover letters should be aligned with the research group’s interest.

Send your application as a single PDF file to Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for an online interview. Contact Dr. Emmanuel Dufourq ( ) for details regarding this position.

Women are strongly encouraged to apply. Applications will be reviewed as soon as they are received (first come first served basis).

That being said, this specific role is for a team member to work in the Machine Learning AI team as a Machine Learning Engineer.

Job Description

The candidate will be working with clients on projects focused on delivering reliable data-powered software applications to production. The primary focus of the role includes designing and implementing data pipelines, building models (machine learning or not), and deploying models.

Melio believes in nurturing cross-functional capabilities in our team, so you will need to work closely with other technical roles, such as BI specialists, data scientists, DevOps engineers and other data and machine learning engineers either to observe or to assist.

This is a technical role, but due to the consulting nature of many of our projects, the candidate needs to be able to communicate effectively with both business and technical stakeholders.

  • Strong analytical skills and passion for solving data problems.
  • Strong communications skills and comfortable presenting your own thoughts to technical and business stakeholders.
  • Familiar with building training and inference pipelines for ML projects.
  • Familiar with fundamental machine learning theory and building, tuning, selecting models.
  • Familiar with MLOps principals.
  • Some experience with at least one Cloud provider.
  • Some experience working with test automation and tools.
  • Implement and test data engineering and machine learning software.
  • Build and test data engineering and machine learning pipelines for data analytics or machine learning solutions.
  • Collaborate and share technical knowledge with team members and co-workers.
  • Follow all best practices and procedures as established by the client or industry.
  • Document designed solutions and implemented tools.
  • Brainstorm new solutions to improve data and ML software development and deployment.
  • Basic understanding of the cloud-native ecosystem and desire to learn and grow in this environment.
What you would be assisting other team members with (secondary responsibilities)
  • Assist with setting up CI (Continuous Integration) and CD (Continuous Delivery) tools with the team.
  • Monitor data/model metrics, and develop ways to improve application development and deployment.
  • Maintain day-to-day management and administration of projects.
Qualification & Experience
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Software Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, or related field.
  • 2+ years experience working with data science and data engineering. Previous experience with software development (e.g. Python, Java, Go).

Desired Skills

  • Contribute and/or passionate about open source projects.
  • Masters/PhD in Data Science, Machine Learning or AI.
  • AWS certifications (or any other cloud).
  • Interested in learning more about Cloud Native Computing Foundation technologies.
Personal Attributes
  • Up-to-date on latest industry trends; able to articulate trends clearly and confidently.
  • Able to interact with other team members via code and design documents.
  • Good interpersonal skills and communication with all levels of management.
  • Able to multitask, prioritize, and manage time efficiently.
