    An enthusiastic and highly motivated post-doctoral researcher is sought to join the lab of Dr. Timothy Greives ([log in to unmask]) in the Department of Biological Sciences at North Dakota State University (NDSU). This is a NSF funded position to study the relationship between reproductive hormones, daily behavioral rhythms and reproductive success in a wild Eurasian songbird (Parus major). The initial length of the contract will be for one year with the opportunity to renew for up to two additional years. This integrative project is being conducted in collaboration with Dr. Michaela Hau at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology (Seewiesen, Germany). The post-doc will primarily reside in Fargo, ND, but will collaboratively conduct field research in Germany requiring extended stays of up to several months at a time. During this position, the post-doc will gain valuable experience in research design, avian field research techniques, endocrine and molecular techniques, international research experience, and mentoring graduate and undergraduate students. The post-doc is also encouraged to pursue independent lines of research related to this project. The start date is somewhat flexible, but ideally will begin around August 15, 2019.
