Hi All,
Apologies for the cross posting. Please see below two new postdoctoral opportunities to work on Insect hearing and Bioacoustics. Please forward or share this email accordingly.
Kind regards,

Post-Doctoral Research Associate in Numerical Modelling
Location: Lincoln
Salary: From £37,099 per
annum
Fixed Term for 36 months and Full time at 1.0 FTE
Closing Date: Thursday 09
November 2023
Interview Date: Friday 24
November 2023
Reference: CHS040
Are you an experienced Post-Doctoral Research Associate (PDRA), with research profiles in engineering, physics, or mathematics? If so, this could be the post for you.
We are looking for a PDRA to join the Bioacoustics and Sensory Biology Lab, in the School of Life and Environmental Sciences. This post is funded by a Leverhulme Trust Award entitled ‘Biophysical and ecological function of microscale ears using scaled 3D prints’.
By intersecting engineering, mathematics, neuro- and comparative biological approaches, this interdisciplinary project is designed to unveil mechanical and biophysical adaptations of the katydid ears using living and fossilised specimens.
As a creative and motivated researcher with experience in numerical modelling, µ-CT scanning, 3D reconstruction, and 3D printing, you will be expected to drive the experimental studies required to develop predictive evolutionary models of the micro-scale Ensifera
(crickets and katydids) hearing process.
You will have the opportunity to help write and publish high quality peer-reviewed scientific papers, in addition to contributing to the development of research proposals and identification of routes for further bioinspiration. You will contribute to the dissemination
of the results to the scientific community through presentation at international conferences and workshops, and to the general public through public lectures and interviews with the media, where appropriate.
You will also have full responsibility for the practical coordination of LDV experiments and micro-CT protocols, and for driving iterative exchanges with results from other lab members, as well as responsibility for updating the ethics and health and safety
protocols.
This exciting opportunity is full-time and fixed term for 36 months, with excellent opportunities for ongoing career development and progression. If you would like to know more about this opportunity, please contact Prof. Fernando Montealegre-Z, Professor of
Sensory Biology, at m("lincoln.ac.uk","fmontealegrez");">.

Post-Doctoral Research Associate in Sensory Biology
Location: Lincoln
Salary: From £37,099 per
annum
Fixed Term for 12 months and Full Time 1.0 FTE
Closing Date: Thursday 09
November 2023
Interview Date: Friday 24
November 2023
Reference: CHS041Are
you an experienced Post-Doctoral Research Associate (PDRA), with research profiles in biology, specifically in neurosciences or sensory systems? If so, this could be the post for you.
We are looking for a PDRA to join the Bioacoustics and Sensory Biology Lab, in the School of Life and Environmental Sciences. You will be part of
a new interdisciplinary research group with the freedom to work on an exciting project for an extended period. The post is funded by an Leverhulme Trust grant awarded to the Professor of Sensory Biology, entitled ‘Biophysical and ecological function of microscale
ears using scaled 3D prints’. By intersecting engineering, mathematics, neuro- and comparative biological approaches, this interdisciplinary project is designed to unveil mechanical and biophysical adaptations of the katydid ears using living and fossilised
specimens.
This project will involve the use of Laser Doppler Vibrometry, and will interrogate two major objectives: 1) to use 3D ear models for experimental
simulations to investigate the geometry-based biophysics of the ears of both living and fossil katydid, and 2) to understand the evolution of ear pinnae and EC adaptations in insects through time using auditory neural responses.
The sensory biology lab offers a dynamic research environment and facilities, and you will have the opportunity to be a member of a multi-disciplinary
group working closely together on a defined problem, applying techniques from fields as diverse as acoustics, electro-physiology, hearing, applied mathematics, and biophysics.
This exciting opportunity is full-time and fixed term for 12 months (with the possibility of an extension), and with excellent opportunities for
ongoing career development and progression. If you would like to know more about this opportunity, please contact Prof. Fernando Montealegre-Z, Professor of Sensory Biology, at m("lincoln.ac.uk","fmontealegrez");">.
