General Description:
The Pruitt Lab explores the ecology of intraspecific variation, with particular focus on how the collective traits of animal societies influence their rise and fall in contrasting environments. We will be hiring multiple postdocs starting fall 2018. Initial appointments will be for a year, but can be extended up to three years. Each position will come with an annual research and discretionary fund of eight thousand dollars. Postdoctoral positions are available in any subfield of behavioral ecology, but applicants interested in the ecology of social behavior, collective behavior, and the determinants of group success are particularly encouraged to apply. Applicants may choose to work on any organism they wish, but existing laboratory infrastructure can support research on invertebrates, small terrestrial vertebrates, and fishes. Application instructions: Interested applicants should submit a brief cover letter containing the contact information of three references, a CV, and a 1-page proposal describing their proposed research including system information and hypotheses. Please send these documents [email protected]. Review of applications will begin on March 15th but will continue to be evaluated on a rolling basis.
