Ph.D. Student or Postdoctoral Fellow to Study Electroreception in the Sea
Lamprey
A position for a Ph. D. student or postdoctoral fellow is open to study
electroreception in the sea lamprey. The project is a joint effort in the
laboratories of Dr. John Teeter at the Monell Chemical Senses Center,
Philadelphia, PA and of Dr. Weiming Li in the Department of Fisheries and
Wildlife, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI. This position
offers a unique opportunity to combine electrophysiological (Teeter) and
behavioral (Li) approaches to characterize responses of sea lampreys to
weak electric fields. The selected candidate will spend time both in
Philadelphia and East Lansing. Michigan State University provides a
wealth of opportunities for interactions with a large and diverse faculty
conducting research in animal behavior, physiology and neurobiology. The
Monell Chemical Senses Center is a multi-disciplinary research institute
adjacent to the University of Pennsylvania.
If a candidate with a Ph. D degree is selected, the position will be an
annual appointment with possible renewal for up to 3 years (for a total
appointment of 4 years) with Michigan State University. The starting date
