[Job-offers-cs] Postdoc in Collective Behavior/Swarming @ Adelaide University (Australia)

[Pekka Orponen]

*Postdoctoral Research Fellow (collective behaviour/swarming) *

*Adelaide University, Australia*

School of Mathematical Sciences

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to contribute to the 
development of mathematical models to predict collective behaviour in 
locusts and sheep. This project aims to better understand how the 
behaviour of individuals affects the movement of the whole swarm or 
herd, by comparing results from mathematical models with field data and 
controlled experiments. Insights from the project will have practical 
applications in pest control and livestock management. The candidate 
will be encouraged to develop, simulate and analyse mathematical models 
for collective movement using partial differential equations and / or 
agent-based approaches.

This research will involve collaboration with applied mathematicians 
Associate Professor Edward Green and Professor Andrew Bernoff (Harvey 
Mudd College, USA), data scientist Dr Jack Maclean, and animal behaviour 
experts Dr Camille Buhl and Dr Stephan Leu.

This is a three year position. The start date is negotiable but ideally 
would be before October 2026.
