The Department of Neurobiology and Behavior (NBB) in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) at Cornell University welcomes applications for a full-time tenure-track position in The Neural Mechanisms of Natural Behaviors at the assistant professor level.
 
We seek an outstanding scientist whose research connects animal behavior to its underlying neural mechanisms. We are interested in candidates who study how the brain generates, controls, or is shaped by innate or learned behaviors that have evolved in natural contexts, for example communication, navigation, mating, foraging, or social interaction, and who integrate neural measurements with rigorous, quantitative analysis of animal behavior. Laboratory and/or field-based research programs that utilize experimental, physiological, genomic, developmental, computational, or comparative approaches to uncover the neural mechanisms of animal behavior are welcome. Candidates working across species (both model and non-model; vertebrate or invertebrate) are encouraged to apply.

Applications received by November 15, 2026, will be given full consideration.
The job is not strictly limited to evolutionary approaches, but scientists using evolutionary approaches to neuroscientific questions are encouraged to apply!
