USDA Agricultural Research Service Offers Precision Aquaculture Research Fellowship in West Virginia
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS) is offering a research fellowship in precision aquaculture at its facility in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. This opportunity is part of the ARS's mission to develop scientific tools and innovative solutions for agricultural problems. The fellowship focuses on the 'Innovating New Technologies that Improve Efficiencies of Recirculating Aquaculture Systems' cooperative research project. The selected fellow will investigate the use of multispectral and hyperspectral imaging, olfactory sensing, and artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor fish health and welfare in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). This involves integrating sensors, developing prototypes for data collection in challenging aquaculture environments, assisting in creating AI-driven data processing pipelines, and supporting the development of decision-support tools and robotic solutions for RAS. The appointment is full-time, initially for one year with potential f...
