Since it remains unclear whether my current #PostDoc contract will be prolonged in January, I am starting to look for a new #AcademicJob!

My expertise are #ecology, #ethology, #AnimalBehavior, with a focus on #olfaction in #mammals.
I had a stint in #NeuroEthology, but that wasn't quite my cup of tea, and I am currently working in #AnimalWelfare for husbandry animals (think cows, pigs etc).
I have done field work (wild rodents), lab work (very controlled behavioral assays), and pure data analysis.
I do everything in #rstats, so my standard analysis tools are GLM/GLMM, but I'm currently learning how to properly use Generalized Additive Models, as they seem like the natural next step.
I've also dabbled in #python in order to work with #DeepLabCut and #moseq, so the last few years I spent mostly with #ComputerVision, #DeepLearning, and extracting data from videos.
As that requires heavy GPU calculations, I've done most on my work on institutional and/or national #HPC, and then crunched the masses of resulting data in #rstats

I'm looking for a job in the #EU, preferably anywhere north of Germany, but let's be honest, I'll go wherever there is a job.

My website is a bit outdated, but https://tsievert.com/

Please boost for visibility!

Seen on the #NeuroMethods slack:

Any suggestions for algorithms to track pupil in mice? (Not #DeepLabCut )

Good morning #ISOT2024!
Today's the last poster session of the meeting @[email protected], so come and stop by to chat.

I'll try to be around during most breaks!

If you're interested in #DeepLabCut (or #MoSeq), definitely come and chat!

I have added a hands-on #tutorial to the Assessing Animal Behavior lecture. The tutorial covers the GUI-based use of #DeepLabCut 💻, a software package for markerless pose estimation of animals 🐭🔍 It’s aimed at #neuroscience students with no or little programming knowledge. Feel free to share it with your students and colleagues ☺️

Anyone here working on #PoseEstimation #animalbehavior #neuroethology ?

You may be interested in the free and open-source Python 🐍 package I’m currently working on, together with @adamltyson @bd_peri and others.

It’s called movement, and it’s made for analysing the pose tracks produced by pose estimation frameworks, like #DeepLabCut and #SLEAP.

GitHub: https://github.com/neuroinformatics-unit/movement

It’s still in early development 🏗️ but we appreciate feedback/feature requests.

Check out the detailed thread on our team’s mastodon account: @neuroinformatics

Well, it's time again: I'm officially looking for a new #PostDoc

Please share far and wide!

My expertise lies in behavioral ecology, focused on mammalian chemical communication. I've also been exploring #DeepLabCut & #MoSeq for automated behavior analysis.

Shout-out to my friend Ramin at websplash GmbH for the fantastic redesign!
