Research Associate, Marine Movement & Behaviour

University of Cambridge; Cambridge; On-site; GBP 35,000 - 48,000; Full time

Job summary

The University of Cambridge's Marine Behavioural Ecology Group invites applications for a six‑month Research Associate to work on computational analysis of fish movement and predator–prey interactions.

You will develop reproducible workflows for trajectory reconstruction, perform data processing, run agent-based and evolutionary simulations, and collaborate with the PI and MB EG team while maintaining independence.

Responsibilities

• Develop reproducible workflows for trajectory reconstruction, quality control, temporal alignment and extraction of kinematic and spatial measures.
• Analyse individual and group movement, predator‑prey interactions, and run agent‑based and evolutionary simulations to test behavioural rules.
• Collaborate closely with the Principal Investigator and MB EG team while progressing the computational research independently.
