The Lattin Lab at Louisiana State University is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to work on NSF CAREER-funded projects using transcriptomic approaches to study neophobia behavior in house sparrows. The postdoc is also expected to develop at least one independent project building on lab expertise in stress physiology, neurobiology, and behavior. Ideal start date is January 2024 (although earlier may be possible). Salary is $59,000/ year and includes health insurance; up to 3 years of funding is available.

If interested, please apply through the LSU Workday job site, and submit: 1) a cover letter with a brief description of research interests and experiences, 2) a current CV/resume, 3) a research product of some kind (paper, pre-print, poster, etc.), 4) two letters of recommendation. Applications should be submitted by October 1, 2023 for full consideration. Experience in neuroendocrinology, computational biology, or working with birds is helpful, but not required. We highly encourage first-generation students and students from groups historically underrepresented in STEM fields to apply.
