To: <meet.yeti@xxxxxxxxx>
Dear friends and colleagues,
Kindly broadcast this advertisement for the post of a project student
required to work on experimental investigations on the collective behaviour
of fish in our lab.
We are looking to hire a Project Assistant to work on a SERB funded project
on experimental investigations on the collective behaviour of fish, led by
Vishwesha Guttal (Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore) – *DEADLINE for
applications: July 7th 2019. *
*Project Description*: The project aims to study collective behaviour in
schooling fish via laboratory experiments. In our ongoing work, we are
aiming to understand how fish interact with each other in groups by
analyzing data from collective behaviour experiments in the lab. The larger
project involves a blend of computational and mathematical approaches
towards inferring such interactions. For this position, the student is
expected to perform a large number of experiments in the laboratory.
However, depending on the interest the candidate may participate in other
aspects of the project as well.
The work will be done in the lab of Dr Vishwesha Guttal, Associate
Professor, Centre for ecological sciences, IISc Bangalore.
