The criteria for selection for postdoctoral positions will include GREs, academic record, letters of recommendation, and evidence of productive research experience, which may include presentations at scientific meetings, publications, and research grants. In addition, we will consider a brief plan of research.

All trainees will be expected to participate in the core elements of the program. Examples are enrollment in core courses, pursuing training in research ethics, spending time with visiting lecturers, presenting at the Animal Behavior Research Conference, serving as models for younger students, and participating in a common forum for discussion. We will expect regular attendance at CTRD events, which will occur in collaboration with CISAB, Kinsey Institute, and other participating departments/programs.

All applicants will be given equal consideration regardless of race, gender, or ethnicity. In addition, special efforts will be made to increase the diversity of our trainees. Trainees must be citizens, non-citizen nationals or permanent residents of the US. For more about our commitment to diversity, please visit our diversity statement.
