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...
