Ph.D. Position in Endocrinology of Polyploids. The Leary lab in the
Department of Biology (biology.olemiss.edu) at the University of
Mississippi is looking for a Ph.D. student with strong interests in
endocrinology. The candidate will be involved in a funded research project
aimed at understanding how polyploidization has impacted neuroendocrine
regulation in gray treefrogs. The candidate will learn mechanisms of
endocrine control, hormone manipulation procedures, radioimmunoassay,
and bioacoustics and will be directly involved in field data collection
from populations of frogs across the eastern United States. Background
in neuroendocrinology, radioimmunoassay procedures, or experience
working with amphibians is highly desirable but not required. Required
Qualifications: A strong interest in research involving amphibians and
endocrinology. Ability to work long hours in the field at night. This
position is for a term of up to three years as a research assistant
during the Spring and Summer and will be supplemented with departmental
teaching assistantships during the Fall semester. Please send inquiries
to Christopher Leary (cjleary@olemiss.edu). Proposed Start Date: Fall
