Job Description:

Postdoctoral position (m/f/d) 100% - 'Decision-Making in Motion: From Neural Dynamics to Animal Behavior in Immersive Virtual Worlds'. The project explores how decision-making emerges from the interplay between neural dynamics, embodied movement, and environmental structure, with a particular focus on ring attractor networks—a conserved neural architecture implicated in navigation and spatial representation across diverse taxa.

Job Responsibility:

  • Combine theory, experiment, or computational approaches to investigate how ring-attractor-like dynamics are expressed in real organisms and how they shape behavior
  • Possible avenues include immersive virtual-reality experiments with insects, development of new models of neural or embodied dynamics, comparative analyses across species, or novel methodological approaches aligned with the central questions

Requirements:

  • PhD in biology, physics, engineering, or a related field
  • Demonstrated research experience or training in areas such as dynamical systems, bifurcation theory, and animal behavior
  • Prior experience with neural field models, attractor neural networks, or related approaches is desirable

Nice to have:

Prior experience with neural field models, attractor neural networks, or related approaches

What we offer:
  • Interesting job in an open-minded team
  • Responsible and varied workplace in a growing interdisciplinary and international research institute
  • Payment made in accordance with experience and qualification and the collective agreement for the public service (TVöD-Bund)
