211-0752/26-2E Associate Professor In Endocrine Physiology And Behavior

Description Of Position

The successful applicant will combine expertise in genetics, cell biology and the endocrine control of behavior and metabolism in Drosophila. One major aspect of the position will focus on interorgan communication and the mechanisms by which animals sense and adapt to changing nutritional, metabolic, physiological, and environmental conditions. In particular, the position will investigate signaling between adipose tissue, muscle, gut, glia, and the nervous system, with an emphasis on how endocrine and metabolic signals coordinate behavior, metabolism, exercise adaptation, and organismal physiology. The successful applicant will explore the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing hormone and peptide production, secretion, trafficking, and receptor‑mediated signaling between tissues, as well as how these pathways influence neuronal activity, metabolic homeostasis, and adaptive physiological responses.
