from the Postdoc Position at University of Arizona dept. Postdoctoral opportunity studying bee learning and foraging behavior in relation to floral complexity with Dan Papaj, Anna Dornhaus, and Anne Leonard at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona. The goal of this NSF-funded project is to understand why flowers use complex stimuli in multiple sensory modalities to signal to pollinators. Bumblebees will be used as a model system in assays that manipulate the complexity of floral stimuli and quantify bee learning and floral choice. Special emphasis will be given to analysis of speed-accuracy tradeoffs with respect to predictions derived from economic and neural decision-making theory. Qualified candidates should have a Ph.D. in animal behavior or allied field. Training in the area of animal learning is preferred, but not required. For inquiries or to apply, please email Dan Papaj (papaj@email.arizona.edu). Applications should include: (1) cover letter indicating relevant experience and interests, and possible starting date; (2) CV; (3) publication reprints or preprints in electronic form and; (4) names and contact information for three references. < Recent Brown grad looking for fieldwork opportunity | Volunteer Field Assistant for Chacma Baboon Project in South Africa >
