- Requirements: Interests in any of the following disciplines: collective behaviour, biological or computational physics, mathematical biology, movement ecology, animal behaviour, behavioural ecology, and wildlife science. A preliminary understanding of Collective behaviour models, Python programming and computer vision, would be beneficial but not mandatory.
