Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Opportunity -- Reproduction/Development -- Indiana University

Indiana University invites applications for a post-doctoral traineeship to be supported by NIH-CHHD via an NIH T32 training grant entitled, 'Common Themes in Reproductive Diversity.' We offer broadly integrative training in the areas of sexual reproduction and development with a focus on the behavior of animals including humans. Research conducted by participants addresses key questions in the development and expression of sex differences, as well as maternal and paternal effects on morphological, sexual, and social development. Indiana University's excellent support for research and its globally recognized strengths in animal behavior, endocrinology, human sexual health, and evolution of development ensure high quality training.

Traineeships include a competitive salary based on current NIH pay scale commensurate with experience and funds to support research and travel. The successful applicant will help foster collaborations among faculty and serve as a professional model for pre-doctoral trainees. A Ph.D. in biology, psychology, neuroscience, chemistry, gender studies or a related field is required. Candidates are invited to make initial contacts with training faculty.
