PhD fellowship in the emergence of social network structures (interdisciplinary) at SODAS, University of Copenhagen
Part of the larger project called 'New computational approaches for understanding the emergence of social network structures', funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation, SODAS is opening applications for a PhD fellowship.
The PhD student will likely focus on using new methodology we have already developed to investigate how social network structures emerge, and the role social preferences play in this. The PhD student may also be involved in development of new methods, if it is of interest for the student. There will be opportunity for the PhD student to influence the project and develop new research ideas within the project frame.
The PhD project will include modelling of social networks and/or analysis of social network data from various species, including a long-term dataset from a free-ranging population of Rhesus macaques in Puerto Rico. Field work is not a requirement for the project, but a stay at the macaque field site can potentially be integrated if it is of interest for the PhD student.
The position involves conducting research, presenting findings at scientific conferences, writing research articles, following PhD courses, and getting experience with teaching and dissemination.
The deadline for applications is 23:59 CETS on October 6, 2024.
