VIRTUAL LITHICS: DEVELOPING AN INDIVIDUAL-BASED MODEL (IBM) FOR THE SIMULATION OF STONE ASSEMBLAGES The aim of this research is to is to develop a new approach, based on simulation models to strengthen inferences from prehistoric stone tool assemblages. The work of the Research Assistant will be to develop and test the simulation models. The project will use a modelling approach to simulate the formation and survival of stone tools. The primary aim is to create model assemblages under […]

The Helmholtz Association is providing long-term investment for the establishment of a new Research Group on Land Use Change at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology’s Campus Alpin (IMK-IFU) located in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (). This Group aims to advance knowledge of the causes and consequences of change in socio-ecological systems from local to global scales by: a) understanding the fundamental principles that underpin the interactions between people and their environment and encoding these […]

At the Helmholtz Centre of Environmental Research UFZ Leipzig, Germany, a new research project will be launched with funds from the German Research Foundation: SEEMI (Social-Ecological Effects of Microinsurance). It focuses on microinsurance, i.e. insurance products that are specifically targeted at low-income people in developing countries, and its potential adverse effects. Case studies include drought insurance in Kenya and Ethiopia and health insurance in Cambodia. The main research […]

Empirical PhD The empirical PhD candidate will focus on the use of the RoboFalcons for understanding predator-flock interactions. The RoboFalcons provide a unique opportunity to study predator-prey interactions in real time through a camera on the back of a RoboFalcon that films the prey. While investigating RoboFalcons during attack of bird flocks at airbases, the empirical- PhD candidate will: - analyze empirical data of collective escapes related to attacks by RoboFalcons on flocks at […]
