Funded MSc and PhD Positions in Animal Cognition Research University of Alberta in Canada

Majid Mohajerani is hiring for a PhD student and a Postdoc to work on foundation models for behaviour , combining large-scale behavioural video with deep learning . The project focuses on self-supervised video transformers that can discover, model, and search animal behaviour at scale, from micro-actions to higher-order motifs emerging over months of continuous, multi-species recording. The research also includes query-by-example retrieval and modelling behaviour from single frames to long-horiz...
