HiWis for camera-trap image processing

We are looking for 2-3 student assistants to review and process camera-trap images collected in Europe in the past three years.

The data will be used within the project “Quantifying the landscape of fear: Collaborative camera trap networks to assess wildlife responses to activities of humans and free-ranging domestic species across Europe”. The student(s) will learn about the management and processing of camera-trap data. There might also be opportunities for fieldwork experience and bachelor/master theses within the framework of this project.

  • Responsibilities:

● Review images previously uploaded on the Wildlife Insights platform; confirm/update preliminary classifications provided through AI models.

  • Requirements:

● Work 20-40 hours/month at the Max Planck Institute office at Bücklestraße 5,
Konstanz (working from home is possible after an initial training period).
● Ability to work independently.
● Familiarity with the identification of European mammals is welcome, but not strictly required. Training will be provided.
● Register as a new user account in Wildlife Insights.
