Tiago Monteiro
behavioural scientistI’m originally trained as an experimental psychologist @Universidade do Minho (Braga, Portugal). I did my PhD in Alex Kacelnik's Behavioural Ecology Research Group @University of Oxford (UK) and my first postdoc in Joe Paton's Learning lab @Champalimaud Foundation (Lisbon, Portugal), followed by a Research Associateship with the Department of Biology @University of Oxford (UK) and yet another postdoc in Friederike Range's Domestication lab @VetMedUni (Vienna, Austria).
In all these places I’ve been studying mostly choice behaviour (or decision-making). I'm broadly interested in comparative approaches to animal cognition, and in how animals sense the passage of time. I’ve worked with multiple bird and mammal species, and more recently with fish too. Normally, I feel too much of a biologist when among psychologists, too much of a psychologist when with biologists and something in between when with neuroscientists. I'm currently an Integrated Researcher (non-tenured research track equivalent to Ass. Prof.) at the William James Center for Research @University of Aveiro (Portugal). When I'm not working, I like being outdoors, cooking and traveling with the family. |
