Reichert Lab Animal Communication MS or PhD
Grad Positions
Posted Jul 31
The Reichert Lab in the Department of Biology at Oklahoma State University is recruiting 1-2 graduate students (MS or PhD) for Fall 2027. Our lab does integrative research in animal communication and cognition. Our main study system is acoustic communication in gray treefrogs, but we also work on other taxa (other frog species, insects) and questions (social behavior, learning, aggression, visual communication). We are searching for students with strong interests in animal behavior to develop projects related to our main areas of interest. Students should be motivated to develop independent research projects, develop skills in experimental design, programming, data analysis and writing, and to contribute to our positive and supportive lab atmosphere.
Students will be primarily supported by teaching assistantships, with the possibility for RA and summer funding depending on overall funding support for the lab. The Department of Biology has a strong group of faculty and students working on organismal biology, and the university is in a biodiverse state with a very reasonable cost of living.
We are an inclusive and supportive lab environment and encourage applications from everyone interested.
To apply, please send an email to [email protected] and attach a document containing a statement of interest (describing your background and motivation for the position) and your current CV by October 31, 2026. Candidates will be evaluated on a rolling basis, and competitive candidates will be contacted at the latest by Mid-November for an interview. Finalists will be invited to submit a full application to the graduate program (application due date January 15 2027).
