[DMANET] Job offer - Animal Social Networks

The University of Konstanz is forming a multidisciplinary center for research on collective behavior and have received generous funding from the Gips-Schuele Foundation to appoint a junior research group leader in animal social networks.
Although the primary target group for this position are biologists, a strong foundation in network analysis may compensate for not knowing the Latin names of taxa by heart.

See below and http://www.uni-konstanz.de/stellenangebote/stellenauswahl.php?seite=2016/245 for details.

Best,

B.
