Work duties The candidate will be involved in a project investigating self-organisation and collective behaviour in animal groups. The candidate will be responsible for analyzing and modelling the movement and interactions of fishes in schools. This will involve working with trajectory data to quantify movement strategies and social interactions of individuals within groups. The work will be entirely computationally focused and would suit someone with demonstrable experience in trajectory or motion analyzes. The work would involve communicating findings with experimental biologists to inform new analytical approaches. There is the potential for the candidate to work remotely, with regular online meetings between researchers working at Lund and Cambridge Universities.
