Doctoral Position in Neuroethology
vor 4 Monaten
(65 %, E 13 TV-L)
**Reference No.**: 2024/102. The start date is September 1st 2024, or by agreement. The position is initially available for three years.
The University of Konstanz is one of eleven Universities of Excellence in Germany. Since 2007 it has been successful in the German Excellence Initiative and its follow-up programme, the Excellence Strategy.
**Project description**:
Driving along a tree-lined avenue, we have all experienced how the rapid succession of light and shade disrupts our vision. Such conditions push even synthetic sensors to their limits, but many animals master these challenges on a daily—and nightly—basis. Indeed, a high dynamic range is a hallmark of natural sensory environments. For nocturnal animals, artificial light at night makes this range even more extreme, and poses a considerable challenge to their visual system. How then is dynamic visual information processed with the limited bandwidth available in neural circuits? And what role do an animal’s movements, which shape what it sees, play in matching the acquired information to the limited processing capacity? The visually-guided flight of nocturnal moths is uniquely suited for approaching these questions.
Your Responsibilities
- Capturing moths’ free flight strategies in dynamic light, using state-of-the-art motion technology
- Active contributions to theoretical and practical research exchange
Your Competencies
- Master sc. or equivalent in Biology, Neuroscience, or related fields
- A strong interest in insect vision and neuroethology
- Experience in quantitative behaviour/ animal tracking
- Experience in computational tools or electrophysiology is preferable
We Offer
- Position initially available for three years, with possibility for extension.
- Salary according to the pay-scale for University employees (TVL)
- Graduation via the is a graduate program
- A vibrant international research environment at Konstanz University via our and the.
**Application process**:
- Please supply a CV with the name of 2 references
- In addition, applicants are required to include a research statement addressing the following prompts:
1. Describe your main scientific interests, how they developed, and how they relate to the proposed research project. Explain what types of scientific questions most motivate you and why. (1 page)
2. Describe 1-2 specific biological questions or hypotheses you would like to test within the described project. You should assume that you will have access to existing data (see below for a description of the available data) as well as the opportunity to collect new data. Explain what data you would collect (and/or use) and the analytical approach(es) you would employ to address your questions. (1 page, excluding any references)
**Data description**: Over the past year, we have recorded free-flight data of elephant hawkmoths in a 10 x 10 x 5m, in which we can reconstruct the position and body orientation of the insects at high spatial and temporal resolution (1 mm and 150 fps). We tested the moths in light conditions ranging from starlight to twilight, which were generated with an array of LED panels covering the entire ceiling of the arena, to simulate the sky. We also included localized artificial light sources with these background light conditions. We have also measured the spatiotemporal tuning of motion neurons of various hawkmoth species, which are key to flight control in insects. These neurons were measured in a range of light conditions as well, all after adapting the animals carefully to the respected intensity (Stöckl et al. (2016) Curr Biol. 26, 821-826 & Stöckl et al. (2017) Proc R Soc B.284, 20170880). For example figures of the data see.
