Talia Borofsky joined the High Meadows Environmental Institute as a postdoctoral research fellow in August 2023. She was formerly associated with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem Alexander Silberman Institute of Life Sciences as a Zuckerman Postdoctoral Fellow (August 2023 – May 2023) and is now a USDA NIFA AFRI postdoctoral fellow. She received her Ph.D. in Biology from Stanford University, where she researched the evolution of social learning and cooperative hunting by predators with advisor Professor Marcus Feldman. She continues to be fascinated by social predators and is now researching the feedback between predator group formation and prey populations to understand how group sizes respond to changes in prey availability, and in turn, how the grouping of predators influences prey populations and their ability to coexist. In particular, she is applying the models she formulates to (1) mitigating livestock-carnivore conflict and (2) investigating the movement ecology of wolves in Northern Quebec. Her research is conducted in the labs of Princeton Professors Simon Levin and Daniel Rubenstein, as well as in the lab of Professor Erol Akçay (University of Pennsylvania), with whom she has a visiting appointment. Besides researching predators, she enjoys painting, as well as learning about and advocating for public transportation systems.
