Posted on behalf of Prof Roland Langrock:
JOB: Research position (post-doc) at the Bielefeld University
The successful candidate will work at the interface of statistics and ecology, with the aim of developing novel statistical methods for making biological inference on niche choices from behavioural time series data. More specifically, the project will focus on extensions of hidden Markov models to deal with individual heterogeneity commonly found across individuals within the same species. Corresponding models that accommodate such heterogeneity are computationally challenging, and the research to be conducted will primarily focus on ways to make inference within these models computationally more tractable.
Furthermore the successful candidate will conduct further real-data analyses of empirical projects comprising of analyses of animal movement data collected , ranging from insects monitored with video tracking to sea lions tracked using GPS and accelerometry.
