- PhD in a relevant field (e.g., computational biology, physics, bioinformatics, neuroscience, AI/ML, or related disciplines).
- Preferred:
- Experience with agent-based models, large-scale simulations, and dynamical systems.
- Interest in interdisciplinary research spanning chronobiology, collective behavior, and evolutionary biology.
Job Description:
The Peleg Lab focuses on understanding how biological collectives coordinate behavior through rhythmic and discrete signals. Responsibilities include:
- Constructing mathematical and computational models of rhythm formation and synchronization using dynamical systems and agent-based approaches.
- Conducting high-level analyses of experimental data and model outputs to identify patterns and refine hypotheses.
- Collaborating with a diverse team of experimentalists, biologists, and computational scientists.
Job Responsibilities:
| Responsibilities | Description |
