Opportunities
Postdoctoral fellowship in Biology - Lund University
How do migratory birds perform their migration? Which are the physiological limitations to how birds can manage their migration? Are birds somehow limited by their thermoregulation during long flights?

PhD opportunity in Biology - University Paris Nanterre
we are looking for a very motivated doctoral student to carry out research on developmental birdsong learning. Birdsong has been established as a biological model of choice to study vocal learning, an important component of human language. Taking advantage of the successful use of a robot bird as a song tutor (Araguas et al., Journal of Experimental Biology 2022), the PhD student will track the song development of young zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) and canaries (Serinus canaria) exposed to different song models that exhibit significant variability. Then, these results will help building new developmental algorithms for neurorobotics including direct model learning and sensorimotor skill acquisition.
