Applications are invited for a
3 year Postdoctoral Research Fellow to work with Dr David Reby
on a BBSRC funded project studying “How dogs hear us: human
voice perception by domestic dogs”. The research will involve
preparing, conducting and publishing the results of
behavioural experiments investigating how dogs perceive and
respond to the different components of human vocal signals.
The research work will involve testing privately owned
domestic dogs, as well as shelter, police or assistance dogs.
It is expected that the successful applicant will have a
strong theoretical and practical background in animal
behaviour and animal cognition and be competent and
comfortable working with domestic dogs. Excellent
interpersonal skills to liaise with dog owners or trainers are
essential and experience in the areas of bioacoustics and/or
speech sciences is a distinct advantage.
Informal enquiries may be made to David Reby (reby@sussex.ac.uk). Further
