The PhD project is part of the DFG-funded project 'Cue integration by bumblebees during navigation in uncertain environments with multiple goal options: Behavioural analysis in virtual reality and computational modelling' in an international research team. Bumblebees can be trained to prefer certain places or objects in a virtual environment through appropriate rewarding. In a close integration of two PhD projects, one with a focus on VR behaviour experiments and the other focussing on computational modelling and simulation, we are investigating the mechanisms underlying these learning and orientation performances. The applicant is expected to design and implement models for behavioral control of bumblebees, test them in computer simulations, contribute to VR experiments with bumblebees, and collaborate intensively with other project participants.
