M/F, fixed-term contract: researcher in theoretical biophysics and statistical inference

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description The successful candidate will carry out theoretical and methodological work in statistical inference applied to animal behaviour on a large scale, using large open datasets. They will take the scientific lead on the project and help to establish its physical significance, in collaboration with Pierre Ronceray and Ricardo Martinez Garcia. Development of theoretical models and statistical inference methods (statistical physics, stochastic processes); analysis of large, heterogeneous behavioural datasets from open sources; physical interpretation of results and drafting of publications; participation in the group's activities and exchanges within the Centuri community. The position is based at CINaM (Marseille), within Pierre Ronceray's research group. It is a one-year fixed-term contract, renewable, with funding guaranteed for two years through an ERC grant. The successful candidate will join the Centuri community. Where to apply Website https://emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/UMR7325-VALSEV-167/Default.aspx .
