Post-Doctoral Fellow

Te Whiwhinga mahi | The opportunity

A Post-Doctoral Fellowship in the Chronobiology Research Group at the University of Auckland is available for a project entitled:

“Spying on the secret lives of bees: Understanding the importance of eusocial clocks for honeybee behaviour”

We have a 20-month position for a post-doctoral scientist to work with us on a Marsden funded grant in which we are investigating honey bee behaviour by monitoring the patterns of electrostatic fields signatures they produce inside the hive.  Using a systems approach, and new technology which allows us to measure the electrostatic charge signatures bees produce and use to communicate inside the hive, we will establish how the honeybee super-clock is controlled in its natural state.

Robust daily rhythms are essential to the health and well-being of all organisms, and the breakdown of rhythms can even be used to reliably predic...
