Student HiWi positions within the new Move.inFormation research group within he Biology Dept. and CASCB University Konstanz. Tasks would include:

1. work with the Move.inFormation team and bio-logger suppliers to build a field kit of bio-logging devices for Andean Condors
2. run tests on devices for functionality under different natural scenarios and calibration of device sensors
3. build a data organisation protocol for the multiple bio-logging data types collected in the field

Available to undergraduate and masters students.

Technical Assistant in Bio-logging development (12-24 months). The workplace will primarily be at Konstanz University, with some work with collaborating groups at the nearby Centre for the Advanced Study of Collective Behaviour and Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior with whom the research group is affiliated. The position also supports field work in Argentina for the deployment of bio-logging devices on Andean Condors.

Your Tasks:

1. leading hardware assembly and software programming of bespoke bio-logging units for the two systems worked on by the group 1) paragliding pilots, 2) Andean Condors (that differ in data requirements and deployment methods/environments)

2. running tests on devices for functionality under different natural scenarios, data download pathways (WiFi, GSM, bluetooth) and calibration of device sensors

4. Liaising with the tag development team at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behaviour to develop functionality of the units to meet the data collection requirements of the Move.inFormation group.

Profile requirements:

- State accreditation as a technical assistant or appropriate qualifications based on your professional experience or a university degree in engineering, computer science or a related field
- Interest in bio-logging sensor technology
- Skills in various programming languages including C++ (specifically IoT firmware ESP and R would be beneficial)
