**Job Summary**
The Peleg Lab at the BioFrontiers Institute is seeking a Temporary Researcher to help develop and test computational models of collective information processing in animal groups. Building on the lab's work on fireflies and honeybees, the project investigates whether properties usually associated with individual cognition - integrated information processing, perception, and decision-making - can also emerge at the level of the group. The researcher will help translate these questions into precise, quantifiable concepts, implement them in computational and agent-based models, and use those models to generate testable predictions that can be evaluated agains...
