[margulis]

A full-time research technician position is available in Dr. Sunny Boyd's lab in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Notre Dame. The lab focuses in the area of behavioral neuroendocrinology, with an emphasis on control of social behaviors.  This is an NSF-funded position to study reproductive and aggressive behaviors in frogs, including both laboratory and field investigation. The lab offers a unique environment for multi-level and interdisciplinary experience (see: http://blogs.nd.edu/sunnyboyd/). The successful applicant will perform behavior experiments in lab and field, laboratory bench work with typical cell and molecular techniques, and contribute to the daily operations of the project (including oversight of students, supplies and equipment, and data management). A Bachelor’s degree in biology or a related discipline is required. Prior experience in animal behavior and/or neuroscience research is preferred but not required.  Experience with and/or interest in modeling approaches to behavior research questions is a plus.  The position is available immediately and will remain open until filled.  Salary is commensurate with experience.
