<p class="MsoNormal">Reporting to the Head of Biodiversity Informatics and Data Science of the Yale Peabody Museum, the Digital Imaging Specialist will assist in the research, development, application, and evaluation of innovative technologies for high-throughput
scientific digitization of natural history specimens and cultural heritage artifacts. Principally, this work revolves around the development and validation of a robotic multi-view imaging system and automated pipelines for 3D reconstruction and data extraction
from multi-view imagery. A primary outcome will evaluate this methodology within collections that have traditionally posed challenges to mass digitation such as entomology. The successful candidate should be comfortable handling biological specimens and museum
objects, working with experimental hardware and software, interfacing with software developers, contributing innovative ideas to build upon research products and adapting to a diverse and evolving technological landscape.<o:p></o:p></p>
