We have an opening for a postdoctoral researcher interested to work at the Center for Integrative Bee Research (CIBER, see https://ciber.ucr.edu/) at the University of California, Riverside on a project recently funded by the W. M. Keck Foundation: Deciphering social communication in stress-tolerant honeybees. The postdoc will be responsible for generating transgenic bees, performing behavioral assays, bee husbandry, and 2-photon calcium imaging in bees in response to odor presentations, working both in the lab and outdoors. Applicants should have a strong background in insect neuroscience and/or genetics. In particular, candidates with experience in multiphoton imaging and CRISPR are encouraged to apply. Beekeeping experience is not required; however, the postdoc shoudl be open to work with our apiary manager to care for bees outdoors. Prospective postdoctoral researchers should contact Ysabel Giraldo (ysabel.giraldo@ucr.edu) and provide an updated CV, statement of intent, and contact information for three references.
