The Invertebrate Neuroethology Laboratory in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Manitoba is seeking two talented MSc or PhD students starting in the Fall term of 2021 or the Winter term of 2022. Our laboratory is interested in how brains select appropriate behavioural responses to varying conditions, how different brains produce different behaviours, and how brains change with age and experience. Using primarily honey bees and cockroaches, we employ immunohistochemistry, microscopy, electrophysiology, and a wide variety of behavioural assays. Students with interests in neural circuitry, neurodevelopment, behaviour, and aging, particularly in insects, are encouraged to apply.

For Fall 2021 enrollment:

• Application deadline for Canadian and US applicants: June 1, 2021.

For Winter 2022 enrollment:

• Application deadline for Canadian and US applicants: October 1, 2021.

• Application deadline for international applicants: July 1, 2021.

For more information, please contact Dr. Byron N. Van Nest at least one month prior to these deadlines.
