The Deep Time Biology Lab (Montana State University, MSU) is looking for a new postdoctoral scientist to join our team. We are interested in candidates with expertise in comparative vertebrate development, neurobiology, bone biology, and macroevolution. In collaboration with the Rashid Lab (MSU) and the Scheller Lab (Washington University), we seek to better understand the complex relationships between the nervous system and bone. This project provides a unique interdisciplinary environment that combines laboratory analysis with computational biology (phylogenetic comparative methods). Duties & Responsibilities Include: Tissue Sampling : Execute the sampling and histological preparation and staining of bone from domestic sheep, domestic chicken, and African clawed frogs to characterize nerve fiber distribution. Immunohistochemistry: Adapt and optimize multiple antibody stains for use on non-traditional model species like avian and amphibian sections. Gene Expression: Conduct gene e...
