We are actively recruiting an insect electrophysiology postdoc. Read the ad here and apply by sending your CV and cover letter to meghbarr@iu.edu; application decisions are rolling until filled.

We are always interested in discussing project ideas and helping postdocs to secure independent fellowships and research funds in any of our primary research areas: insect neurobiology, farmed or wild insect welfare, or insect thermal physiology. We welcome the opportunity to discuss potential applications to programs like NSF, USDA, Marie Curie, Human Frontiers, Life Science Research Foundation, etc. postdoctoral fellowship programs.

Get in touch to discuss potential opportunities by contacting meghbarr@iu.edu

We are not currently recruiting - but students interested in securing independent funding should get in touch.

IUI offers both MSc and PhD programs in Biology. At this time, the lab has no additional funding for graduate students. However, students interested in securing independent funding (e.g., NSF GRFP) are welcome to contact Dr. Barrett.

A lack of prior experience in insect welfare or neuroscience research areas should not discourage a genuinely interested student from applying. I am most eager to work with motivated people who are excited to engage in research and service that can positively impact our understanding of insects’ senses and experiences.

At this time, the Barrett lab is accepting a limited number of undergraduate student researchers as we continue to build our research program. Please contact meghbarr@iu.edu to discuss your interest and potential opportunities.
