Dear Colleagues, Janet Mann's lab welcomes applicants to the 21st Century Postdoctoral Fellowship opportunity at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. This is a competitive university-wide fellowship aimed at under-represented groups in our field. Recipients will be provided a competitive salary for two years, as well as research and travel allowances. Applications must be US citizens or permanent residents and must have earned their PhD within the last three years. Deadline is *OCTOBER 20, 2019*.
We study bottlenose dolphins (T. *aduncus* and T. *truncatus*) at two sites- Shark Bay, Australia and the Potomac-Chesapeake, U.S.A respectively. We are focused on a range of topics such as: maternal care, calf and juvenile development, maternal effects, female reproduction and senescence, genetic relatedness (in collaboration with Dr. Celine Frere at Univ of the Sunshine Coast, Qld), fitness, ecological and social phenotypes, life history, fission-fusion dynamics, social networks, disease transmission, population structure, and tourism impacts. We also welcome new project ideas. The Shark Bay Dolphin Research Project database extends back to 1984. The Potomac-Chesapeake Dolphin Project was initiated in 2015. Visit our websites pcdolphinproject.org and monkeymiadolphins.org for more information. Please contact Janet Mann at [email protected] if you are interested in applying. -- Vivienne Foroughirad Postdoctoral Fellow Georgetown University [email protected]
