My
colleague Florian Muijres (CC) from Experimental Zoology and myself
would like to share an opportunity for a one-year postdoc at Wageningen
University (details
below).
If
we can find a suitable candidate, we would be interested to develop a
project proposal that would fit the aims of the COST Action.
Florian
has expertise on analysis of bird flight and locomotion and the group
also offers expertise on bone development and bone quality. My expertise
is on behaviour
and welfare and we have developed the PhenoLab testroom where we can
track individual birds in a group using ultra wideband sensing. These
are all elements we would like to include in the postdoc proposal (which
would be a collboration between WUR and an international
partner).
Please contact me a.s.a.p. if you know a suitable candidate. Feel free to forward this e-mail to possible candidates.
Best wishes, Bas Rodenburg
