The Department of Biological Science at The University of Tulsa invites applications for two Postdoctoral Fellow positions in Integrative Biology and Neuroscience. We seek creative and interactive individuals who would like to advance their research programs in these areas, while also obtaining training and experience in teaching.

Fellows will devote 60% effort to research and 40% to teaching. Research topics are flexible within the realms of Integrative Biology and Neuroscience, but should have overlap with the expertise of one of the faculty mentors for these positions (listed below).

We anticipate a Fall 2023 start date for these positions. The successful applicant is expected to have a Ph.D. in Biological Science or a related field prior to starting. Interested applicants should submit: (1) A cover letter stating possible areas of research interest and how this Postdoctoral Fellowship will contribute to your career trajectory. (2) Curriculum Vitae. (3) Pdfs of up to two representative publications. (4) Names and complete contact information for three references.

We encourage applicants to contact one or more of the potential mentors before applying.
