Duke University:

Duke University was created in 1924 through an indenture of trust by James Buchanan Duke. Today, Duke is regarded as one of America’s leading research universities. Located in Durham, North Carolina, Duke is positioned in the heart of the Research Triangle, which is ranked annually as one of the best places in the country to work and live. Duke has more than 15,000 students who study and conduct research in its 10 undergraduate, graduate and professional schools. With about 40,000 employees, Duke is the third largest private employer in North Carolina, and it now has international programs in more than 150 countries.

This position will report directly to Dr. Stephen Nowicki, although it will involve working on various projects with other members of the Nowicki lab as described below.  Research responsibilities will involve working with Jill Soha and Susan Peters in the Nowicki lab on projects involving the digital analysis of avian vocalizations, both of Bachman’s sparrows and song sparrows. This work will include training on how to code in Signal©, a proprietary software package specifically developed for bioacoustic analysis of animal sounds, as well as other audio analysis software. This position also will assist with fieldwork that involves recording bird songs and observing field behavioral tests with birds, the former with Dr. Soha and the latter with graduate student Danae Diaz. This work will require training associated with being added to the Duke Institutional Animal Care and Use protocol associated with these field projects. A weekly work schedule will be developed by Dr. Nowicki in consultation with these other lab members, not to exceed 35 hours/week.
