We are looking for postdoctoral fellows interested in performing experimental
research at the interface between physics and biology. The aim of our group
is to study the collective phenomena of life through a close interplay between
experimental data on biological groups in their natural environment and statistical
physics methods. The candidates will conduct experimental data-taking
campaigns in the field, on bird flocks and insect swarms. A strong emphasis
will be put on the comparison between theory and experiments. The postdocs
will join the COBBS Group in Rome (Collective Behaviour in Biological Systems),
and work under the supervision of A. Cavagna and S. Melillo. The duration of the
positions is two years, potentially extendable. The positions will be funded by the
ERC Advanced Grant RG.BIO to Andrea Cavagna. www.cobbs.it and erc-rgbio.eu.

Applications should be sent to stefania.melillo@cnr.it with a cv and the contact
details of senior scientists who can provide recommendation letters (only upon
our request). Although there is no sharp deadline for these positions, earlier
applications will be given higher priority.
