Post-Doctoral Position at Indiana University, Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences:

A post-doctoral position (2yrs) is available through our NIH-funded Training Grant in
developmental studies, and I am seeking a candidate interested in working with Dr. Jeffrey R. Alberts. This
position must be filled with a qualified person by March 2007, so candidates should already have the Ph.D. or will complete it by that date.

There are excellent opportunities at Indiana University. The ongoing research program in his lab is united by a theme of the development of species-typical behavior in rats and mice. We are increasingly studying mice and are poised to begin using selected mutants and genetically engineered animals. Within the broad topic of behavioral development, most of the on-going work involves the onset and development of social behavior,
organizational aspects of individual and group behavior, mother-offspring relations, as well as a project in pre- to postnatal adaptations. We are also engaged in some new developmental studies of oxytocin and vasopressin effects, using enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) and autoradiography. The local research environment encourages novel approaches and integrating diverse interests. Facilities are excellent and are expanding enormously for molecular neuroscience.

Due to the timeline of funding, it essential that potential candidates contact him immediately so the position can be secured..

Postdoc / Research Associate / Technician
Behavioral, endocrine, and molecular regulation of communication signals in electric fish

Dept Biological Sciences, Florida International University
Open until filled. Available immediately.
A Postdoc / Research Associate position is available to participate in an NIH-funded study of neuroendocrine mechanisms by which the social environment alters regulation of communication signals. Gymnotiform electric fish regulate and modulate the masculinity of their social signal waveforms using receptors for serotonin, melanocortins, and androgens. We work at many levels, including behavioral ecology in the field, whole animal neuroendocrinlogy, in vitro electrophysiology, and molecular biology of receptor expression. Our goal is to understand how changes in the social environment direct changes in sex differences and
circadian rhythms of communication signals, and how these processes evolved.

Qualifications:
Experience with or keen desire to learn basic skills of neuroendocrinology and molecular biology, facility with a variety of measurement instruments, excellent organizational and interpersonal skills, demonstrated ability to work cooperatively in interdisciplinary teams, as well as to work independently on research projects. You
must be available to visit the lab for an in-person interview at a reasonable expense to us.

Funding is available through March 2008, pay commensurate with qualifications and experience. Full Florida State health insurance and retirement benefits are available.

scientists from different disciplines who will work together to serve as a focal point
for a College-wide initiative on autism and related spectrum disorders. All ranks will be
considered.

Area open. The successful candidate for the third position will be determined less by
