We are now seeking to appoint a Research Fellow in Sensory Biology (bioacoustics and biomechanics). This is a 3-year Leverhulme funded project, focused on the evolution of acoustic communication in extant and living bushcrickets. We are looking to recruit an individual within the specialism of animal acoustic communication and hearing, with demonstrable skills in signal processing, 3D computer modelling, and micro and nano CT-scaning techniques, and good knowledge of Laser interferometry. Ideally you will also be able to demonstrate skills in Matlab and Labview programing, and literacy with the softwares AMIRA and AVIZO. You will be expected to contribute to the development and completion of a Leverhulme-funded research project, to expand the PI research group collaborative networking, and to mentor a PhD student, and other students.
