Ornithology Exchange (brought to you by the Ornithological Council)

  • Welcome to the Ornithology Exchange Job Board!   Help us maintain this great free resource for the ornithology community by following the guidelines below -

    1. If possible, log in as a OE member before posting - this allows you to come back later to edit or remove the post.

    2. Jobs must have a connection to ornithology.

    3. Chose the correct category for your job. There’s a brief description of each category on that category’s page.

    4. Post the text of the announcement in the box, not a PDF. This enables better searching and makes your job more visible to searchers.

    5. Internships or volunteers opportunities that charge a fee for participation should be posted in the workshops and short courses section under Forums.

  • Neurogenomics of Behavior and Speciation

    delmore

    By delmore

      • Employer: Delmore Lab
      Location: Columbia University
      Country: United States
      Last Date to Apply: 11/15/2024
      Open Until Filled: Yes

    The Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Environmental Biology (E3B) at Columbia University invites applications for a position at the rank of Postdoctoral Research Scientist or Associate Research Scientist. The successful candidate will join the lab of Dr. Kira Delmore (delmorelab.com) and be supported by funding from an NIH MIRA grant aimed at understanding the genomic basis of behavior and speciation.

    The postdoc will have the opportunity to contribute to several research projects but will primarily lead their own project focused on understanding the molecular basis of seasonal migration and speciation in songbirds. This project will leverage new and existing data collected from a captive population of Swainson’s thrushes. The Swainson’s thrush includes two subspecies that differ in their migratory behavior and hybridize in western North America. Our captive population includes individuals from both subspecies and their hybrids. Hybrids help power analytical approaches that dig deeper into the molecular basis of migration and speciation (e.g., Louder et al. 2024 Nat Comm; Justen et al. 2024 PNAS).

    Start date: The ideal start date would be Jan 2025 but we can be flexible.

    Duration: Two-year contract with 1+ year extensions.

    Funding: Fully funded. NIH MIRA grant that does not end until Sept 2028.

    Location: The Delmore lab is moving to Columbia at the end of 2024. We will be in the E3B department with connections to the Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute and American Natural History Museum.

    Experience: Ph.D. and expertise in neurobiology, molecular biology, animal behavior, evolution and/or computational biology. Experience with birds is not necessary. Candidate should show evidence of past productivity (e.g., first-author pubs and/or grants), and have strong written and oral communication skills.

    Application: Please send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and contact information for 2-3 references to Kira Delmore (ked2195@columbia.edu).
