2 months ago
Summary
The Cognitive Evolution Group, led by Dr. Alexandra Rosati at the University of Michigan, invites applications for a postdoctoral research fellow in primate cognition and behavior. This position allows for flexible opportunities to work on research topics including decision-making, social cognition, comparative development, and/or relationships between cognition and behavior depending on the candidate's interests and skillset. There are opportunities to work with several semi-free-ranging primate populations including monkeys and apes, as well as with existing cognitive and behavioral datasets.
The postdoctoral fellow will work closely with a team of students and collaborators, including colleagues studying wild primates. Fellows should be well-versed in comparative cognition, including experience designing and coding behavioral experiments with nonhumans, and have experience working in field settings or an interest in gaining these skills. Additional relevant skills could include experience with observational behavioral methods with animals; experience working with and analyzing large behavioral datasets; experience with biosampling methods; and/or Spanish or French language skills. We welcome applicants from diverse interdisciplinary backgrounds, especially those with a strong record of research on primate cognition and behavior. Applicants are expected to have met all doctoral requirements before the start of the fellowship.
