Animal Communication/Teaching Post-doctoral Position at Salisbury University, Salisbury, MD.
Post-doctoral position for recent Ph.D. graduate. This position provides opportunities to gain additional experience teaching full courses (combined lecture/labs) as well as experience in acoustic communication and population genetics. The ideal candidate will have experience in one or more of the following areas: experimental design of behavioral signaling, population genetics, and/or acoustic communication. Applicants should also possess some teaching experience. The successful candidate will teach two sections of introductory biology each semester at Salisbury University and possibly a graduate seminar in their area of expertise. In addition, s/he will
contribute to research in anuran communication behavior, and population genetics. Funding is available for two years.
The Taylor/Hunter Lab is broadly interested in evolutionary processes that drive behavioral diversity and signal evolution. Specifically we study the evolution of multisensory courtship signals generated by female mate choice in anuran amphibians. To address these questions we employ a variety of methods including audio-visually integrated playbacks combined with population genetics.
