Job description

Postdoctoral Researcher in Distributed Acoustic Sensing for Marine Monitoring and Field Trials The Photonic Systems Group at Tyndall National Institute is seeking a highly motivated candidate to join its research activities in distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), underwater acoustics, and marine monitoring. The position is funded through the Interreg Atlantic Area project ATLAS (Atlantic Tracking with Lightwave Acoustic Sensing - https://www.atlasinterreg.eu/ ) and focuses on the development, deployment, and validation of DAS-based monitoring methods on submarine fibre infrastructure. Through this work, ATLAS aims to enable real-time, large-scale monitoring of geohazards, marine noise pollution, and cetacean-ship collision risks across the Atlantic. The project combines sensing, validation, and AI-enabled data analysis to support marine observation, environmental protection, and risk prevention. At Tyndall, the successful candidate will play a central role in the Irish site ATLAS activities, including the connection of dark fibre infrastructure to DAS interrogators for calibration and validation studies, shore-based monitoring of ship and marine mammal underwater noise, and correlat...
