Connectionists: Postdoctoral position in modelling and analysis of foraging behavioural and physiological data ( deadline 15th June 2025)

[Ahmed El Hady]

Dear Colleagues,

We are seeking a PostDoc with a quantitative background who has finished 
(or about to finish) a doctoral degree in a quantitative field 
preferably but not limited to physics or engineering. The candidate 
should show enthusiasm for analysing large scale data sets that include 
but not limited to: behavioural, neural and physiological data. 
Experience with machine learning techniques and animal tracking software 
programs is preferred but not required.

The researcher will be based in the integrative biophysics group at the 
University of Konstanz and Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, 
located in Konstanz, Germany. The Postdoc will be working as part of a 
recently funded Human Sciences Frontiers Program (HSFP) research grant 
‘”Neurometabolic mechanisms underlying social foraging” in collaboration 
with the experimental groups of Robert Froemke (New York University) and 
Jee Hyun Choi (Korean Institute of Science and Technology). The project 
aims to understand neuro-metabolic mechanisms underlying social 
foraging. The PostDoc will have the opportunity to travel to the 
experimental collaborators in New York and Seoul.

The Integrative Biophysics group 
<https://www.exc.uni-konstanz.de/collective-behaviour/about-us/people/integrative-biophysics-group/> 
at the CASCB led by Dr. Ahmed El Hady is focused on theoretical and 
computational understanding of mechanisms underlying foraging.

The postdoc position will be embedded within the highly collaborative 
environment of the cluster for advanced study of collective behavior at 
the University of Konstanz. The expected starting date is 01/10/2025 and 
deadline for application is 15/06/2025. For more information and
