A postdoctoral position in Human collective behavior is available at the Department of Mathematics, Uppsala University.
The collective behavior research group uses a combination of mathematical models and experiments to understand the dynamics of animal and human groups. See http://www2.math.uu.se/~david/web/ for details of their current research. Some current projects on humans involve the study of socially contagious [...]
