Research Fellow (Data Science & Geomagnetic Bird Navigation) – Ref No. AR2135SB

Sebastijan Sekulic
Wednesday 29 August 2018

Applications are invited for a 14-month postdoctoral research fellow post to work on the project Uncovering the Mechanisms of Migratory Bird Navigation with Big Data Analytics, funded by Leverhulme Trust. The post-holder will undertake data science research and is expected to develop new data fusion methods for open geomagnetic and bird tracking data. These methods should overcome the heterogeneity of data sources and issues with diverse spatial and temporal scales at which data are collected. The post holder will work in an interdisciplinary and international team, consisting of data scientists at the University of St Andrews and ecologists at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology (MPIO) in Germany. The holder will be expected to publish their findings in relevant venues in GIScience and ecology as well as contribute to the broader research within the grant that is funding the post.

Closing Date: Monday 1 October 2018
