Posting Date: May 25, 2018 Job Title: Post-Doctoral Researcher Department: Psychology and/or Gender Studies Description of Area or Topic of Research: Our research encompasses feminist and queer science, sex research, gender/sex and sexual diversity, and social neuroendocrinology.

Our lab uses feminist and queer approaches to do socially situated science and scholarship that is biologically expansive (not reductionist), biolegible (i.e., to other bioscientists), and informed by lived experiences (critically reflective narratives of the minoritized and marginalized). There are many ongoing lines of research (see http://www-personal.umich.edu/~smva/ ) and some new ones about to begin (including exploring hormonal effects of entitlement and oppressing others).
