About The Position

The Reichert lab in the Department of 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.
