Florian Muijres

A PhD position is available in the Experimental Zoology Group at Wageningen University & Research, supervised by Professor Florian Muijres. The research focuses on the swarming flight of dipterans (flies, mosquitoes, etc.) in their natural environment, using 3D videography to study how these insects form and maintain collective behaviors in the field. The project aims to understand the role of environmental cues in swarming and is ideal for candidates passionate about animal behavior, quantitative analysis, and fieldwork. The group offers a stimulating research environment with access to advanced technology and expertise in behavioral ecology. While funding details are not specified, the opportunity is suited for highly motivated individuals interested in pursuing cutting-edge research in quantitative behavioural ecology. No explicit application deadline or process is provided in the announcement.
