behaviour/swarming) </b></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span><b>Adelaide University, Australia</b></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>School of Mathematical Sciences</span></p>
<p></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>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.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>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.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>This is a three year position. The start date is
negotiable but ideally would be before October 2026.</span></p>
