The DFG Emmy Noether project "Maintaining the balance of power in animal societies" investigates how levelling processes, which may have different underlying mechanisms but exhibit functional convergence, constrain inequality in different species. Using long-term data (i), the PhD student will investigate the situational drivers of coalitionary formation in birds and mammals in collaboration with Eli Strauss (DomArchive) and Lauren Brent (Cayo Santiago, MacaqueNet). The PhD student project also involves collective movement experiments (ii) with robotic fish and small freshwater fish in the aquariums at the Humboldt University of Berlin, in collaboration with David Bierbach and Jens Krause. The PhD student will be supervised by the Emmy Noether Group Leader Danai Papageorgiou.

Deadline: July 6th 2026
