Ad for postdoc position in βimage-based classification pipeline for Lake Geneva phytoplankton using machine learningβ, page 2
Our group in Geneva has a 2-year postdoc position to classify phytoplankton from images and analyse time series. We are specifically looking for experience with machine learning / image classification, not necessarily in ecology/phytoplankton.
Please share!
