Job Description
Killer whales are vocalizing marine mammals. They communicate within and between family like groups using a language consisting of a large number of ¿calls¿ or vocalizations that differ with behavior in structural features such as frequency content and other characteristics. Mathematical treatment of these calls to classify them into behavioral categories is being pursued. The calls fall within the range of human hearing. It is possible that a musician trained in music theory may be able to assist with development of strategies for classification of killer whale calls. The intern would work with a team of scientists and assist with identification of alternatives for classification of killer whale calls into behavioral categories by applying basic music theory and music transcription software.
.
Minimum Requirements
Candidates must be degree-seeking students enrolled at an accredited college or university. Candidates must be taking at least 6 credit hours and have an overall GPA of 2.5. All staff at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory must be able to demonstrate the legal right to work in the United States.
.
Qualifications
1. Must have basic music theory.
2. Must be able to read and write music notation.
3. Must have mathematics through calculus.
4. Must be familiar with the use of basic computer programs such as Microsoft Excel and Word.
5. Must have good English speaking and writing skills.
6. 3.0 GPA, or higher, is preferred
