Laboratory of Jonathan Prather, University of Wyoming
Our laboratory combines electrophysiological recordings in the lab and behavioral observation in the wild to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying performance and perception of the signals that songbirds use to communicate. Excellent opportunities are available for candidates interested in uniting these fields of study.
Postdoctoral Position
This NIH-funded position is available for 1.5 years, with the possibility of an extension. A degree of PhD or equivalent doctoral degree is required, and previous experience with neurophysiological methods and/or behavioral analysis is strongly desired. The postdoctoral researcher will work independently and in collaboration with the PI to determine the precise questions to be investigated.
Graduate Positions
Graduate positions are available beginning Fall 2010. An undergraduate degree in neuroscience, biology, ecology or other relevant programs is required, and previous laboratory research experience in neurobiology or behavioral studies is desirable.
The lab is part of the vibrant Department of Zoology and Physiology and the Program in Neuroscience at the University of Wyoming (http://www.uwyo.edu/zoology/). The campus is located in Laramie, WY, just minutes from the Snowy Mountains Range and the Medicine Bow National Forest. These sites provide wonderfully varied opportunities for field studies of behavior, as well as personal recreation.
Interested candidates should email a cover letter summarizing goals and research interests, a CV, and names and contact information for 3 references to: Jonathan.Prather@uwyo.edu. Feel free to contact me for further information regarding these positions.
