Job Description: The Reichert lab in the Department of Integrative Biology
at Oklahoma State University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to
work on an NSF funded project on the energetic drivers of individual
variation in animal communication behavior. The project focuses on the
relationship between metabolic rate and acoustic signaling behavior in
gray treefrogs and will involve field recordings of acoustic signals,
playback experiments to assess behavioral plasticity, measurement of
metabolic rate using respirometry and investigations of the genetic basis
of metabolic and behavioral phenotypes. The postdoc will be expected to
lead the data collection on project experiments, develop new projects in
line with their interests and the aims of the grant, communicate project
results through scientific publications and presentations and contribute
to student mentorship. The Reichert lab is dedicated to the professional
development of all lab members and there will be opportunities to develop
skills in teaching, mentorship and outreach. The lab is also dedicated
to a research environment that is supportive of all members. The position
can start as early as April 15, 2024, but the start date can be adjusted
based on the selected candidate's availability.

Requirements: The candidate should have earned a Ph.D. in ecology,
evolution, behavior or a related field by the time they are hired, and
should be experienced in working on large-scale research projects. In
addition, the candidate will have experience working with data curation,
analysis and scientific publication, and have the ability to work
collaboratively with the PI and others on the project in both field and
lab settings. Candidates with experience in any of the following are
especially encouraged to apply: bioacoustics, behavioral energetics,
behavioral genetics, individual behavioral variation, advanced mixed
modeling techniques. Duration: 12 months, with the possibility to extend
up to 03/31/2029 contingent upon performance and available funding.
