Postdoctoral Research Assistant (ref. 10538)
        
Department of Computer Science
University of Bristol

You will be a postdoctoral researcher for the "Social Insects, Simulated 
Evolution and Biologically Inspired Algorithms" project at the 
University of Bristol. This joint project between the Department of 
Computer Science and the School of Biological Sciences is researching 
the application of computer modelling techniques to better understand 
collective behaviour and its evolution in social insects, and conversely 
the application of decision making algorithms derived from social 
insects to problems in computer science. This exciting project lies at 
the interface between the life sciences and the physical sciences. You 
will have an interdisciplinary outlook and experience, either with a PhD 
or equivalent in behavioural ecology and with knowledge of computer 
and/or mathematical modelling techniques, or a PhD in computer 
science/maths and an interest in applications to biology. More details 
on the project can be found at 
http://www.cs.bris.ac.uk/home/marshall/sisebia/

The appointment will be for 16 months in the first instance with a 
possible extension of 3 months.

Grade : Grade 1A
