Spain - Valladolid University PhD Scholarship in Behavioural Evolution

FOUR YEAR PhD SCHOLARSHIP IN BEHAVIOURAL EVOLUTION AT VALLADOLID UNIVERSITY TO STUDY SOCIALITY AND ULTIMATE FUNCTION OF COGNITION IN CARRION CROWS

A four-year funded PhD scholarship is available at the University of Valladolid (Spain) to investigate the relationship between sociality and cognition in carrion crows.

Recent investigation on different corvid species has revealed surprisingly advanced cognitive abilities that sometimes rival those of non-human primates. In some species the individuals proved to possess the “theory of mind”, that is the ability of attribute mental states and intentions to other individuals, and to modify their own behaviour according to the intentions attributed to others. Sociality is though to be a key factor promoting the evolution of intelligence, which appears to be more advanced in species that live in stable groups. However, the adaptive function of intelligence in these species is not yet clear, as it is not fully known how these cognitive abilities are used in nature, what kind of problems they contribute to solve, and how they influence individual decisions in a changing social environment. We intend to address questions about social environment, cognitive abilities, adaptive function of intelligence and cooperative solution of problems in carrion crows kept in captivity.

Supervisors: Dr Vittorio Baglione (University of Valladolid); Dr Daniela Canestrari (University of Granada). The net stipend, according to Spanish scholarship system, is around 1120 Euros/month
