Dear all,
we are looking for one or two PhD students to join the Department of
Behavioural Ecology, Faculty of Biology, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań,
Poland.
Students will be supervised by Prof. Tomasz Osiejuk and will closely
collaborate with a postdoc Dr. Pavel Linhart on his project „Evolution of
identity signalling in vocalizations“.
Background: Recognition of individuals and association of individuals with
particular experiences is a key aspect of different social behaviours.
Vocalizations of many animal species are individually distinct and allow for
individual recognition. However, in most of the cases, it is not well known
whether this individual variation is consequence of individual variation or
evolved to signal identity. The project will investigate different aspects of
how individual identity is signalled through vocalizations ranging from
theoretical investigations of how identity information can be measured to
important basic questions like what life-history factors lead to evolution of
true identity signals and to potential application of this knowledge on
identity signalling for acoustic monitoring of individuals.
The application deadline is October 31, 2016. The position will be available
from the January 2017. See the attachment for the detail information about the
project and how to apply.
Please share this information with anyone who may be interested. Any questions
regarding the positions should be directed to Pavel Linhart
and Tomasz Osiejuk
