Postdoc, New York, USA

From: "Steve Ramey" <aboffice@indiana.edu>
 Subject: Cornell University Post-Doctoral position
 
 POST-DOCTORAL position available at Cornell University with Bob Johnston
 for field and lab studies on golden hamsters, including behavioral
 ecology, activity cycles and foraging, social behavior and chemical
 communication, functions of scent marking and, if desired, work on the
 neural mechanisms of behavior. During the spring of 2005 we carried out
 the first-ever field studies of golden hamsters in southern Turkey. A
 major responsibility for this post-doc is to take the lead in further
 developing the field project and coordinating with our collaborators from
 Germany and Turkey. We have already obtained surprising data on daily
 activity cycles and foraging behavior and we will continue and extend
 this work. In addition we plan to obtain data on social behavior and
 communication by odors and scent-marking through observation and
 experiments in the field. Please send enquiries or application material
 to Robert E. Johnston, Dept. of Psychology, Cornell University, Ithaca
 NY 14853 or rej1@cornell.edu.
