[alife] Two 5-year posts in collective behaviour and collective robotics

[James Marshall]

Dear colleagues,
  please draw these positions to the attention of anyone you feel may be suitable.
  Best wishes,
	James Marshall

Research Associate/Fellow in Collective Behaviour
Applications are invited for a 5-year research associate / fellow in collective behaviour, as part of an ERC Consolidator Grant to Professor James Marshall, University of Sheffield. The post-holder will work with Professor Marshall and another research associate/research fellow on the DiODe project (Distributed Algorithms for Optimal Decision-Making), developing and analysing models of collective decision making using techniques from statistical physics and non-linear dynamical systems theory, as well as contributing to the development of a numerical simulation framework for collective behaviour.
