Job Description
The Department of Biology is a large unified department with strong undergraduate degrees nationally-ranked graduate programs and world-class research spanning the breadth of biological questions and experimental systems from ecosystems to microbiology and developmental biology from evolution to cell biology from molecular biology to systems biology bioinformatics and genomics. For more information about the department you can find it at . Indiana University is an equal opportunity employer and provider of ADA services and prohibits discrimination in hiring. See Indiana University Notice of Non-Discrimination here which includes contact information. The Demas Lab at Indiana University ( ) seeks to hire a Postdoctoral Fellow on an NIH -funded project aimed at elucidating the neuroendocrine mechanisms regulating aggression in a rodent model. The successful applicant will join a vibrant lab group using advanced experimental techniques to study the neural and neuroendocrine mechanisms of seasonal aggression. The goal of this work is to characterize how the pineal hormone melatonin acts on the adrenal glands and brain to regulate steroid release and conversion to control aggressive behavior. The lab routinely employs a range of neural neuroendocrine and molecular biology techniques as well as microscopy and behavioral assays to address these questions. These studies will significantly enhance our understanding of the mechanisms mediating excessive aggressive behavior and violence. This research is in collaboration with the laboratory of Dr. Aaron Jasnow Department of Pharmacology Physiology & Neuroscience University of South Carolina School of Medicine Columbia S.C. ( ).
