Position Summary
A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Kimberly Rosvall Department of Biology Indiana University Bloomington. Our lab investigates the genomic and physiological bases of behavioral plasticity and how these mechanisms change over evolutionary time. We approach these questions by combining tools from animal behavior evolutionary biology neuroendocrinology and genomics using freeliving songbirds. We are seeking a candidate to develop an original research project that integrates both proximate and evolutionary mechanisms shaping aggressive behavior in birds with a focus on cavitynesting birds and/or their noncavitynesting relatives. This position is funded by an NSF grant on the evolution of female aggression IOS CAREERand the position will renewed annually for two years assuming sufficient progress.
