Offer Description
University Assistant (Post-Doc) position, limited to a period of 4 years, is available at the Konrad Lorenz Institute of Ethology at the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna, in the laboratory of Prof. Leonida Fusani. The role involves investigating the behaviour of birds using state-of-the-art motion capture and image processing method. We are seeking a candidate with experience in applying modern computational tools for the study of complex biological patterns. We have acquired instruments to record courtship behaviour of birds in both natural and laboratory settings and developed methods to analyse these recordings through semi-automatic motion tracking and the detection of behavioural patterns using machine learning tools. Moreover, we have several ongoing projects spanning from avian migration physiology to association between genes and behaviour in elaborate courtship. We are in search of an experienced data scientist who can assist us in experiment planning/data analysis.
