Assistant Project Scientist - Beery Lab - Department of Integrative Biology

Overview

The Beery Lab is a research group in the Department of Integrative Biology and Neuroscience focused on the study of group social behavior and peer social relationships. Our lab studies the brain basis of behavior, integrating ecological, evolutionary and neuroscience perspectives in this work. Our primary research is focused on the neurobiological mechanisms supporting "sociality", a.k.a. life in social groups—using diverse species to assess the universality of specific underlying pathways.

• Support implementation of techniques in the lab including fiber photometry and machine learning approaches to animal tracking (e.g. SLEAP)
• Participate in all phases of research (planning, data collection, data analysis, writing, etc.) for one or more projects on group social behavior
• Participate in writing and providing feedback on funding proposals and manuscripts
• Participate in project meetings and assist with project oversight
