Wow this is a great year for the field of insect welfare research. I want to add in a couple resources/opportunities that I know about:
Jonathan Birch at LSE (whose work was highly influential in the UK government including decapods and cephalopods in the Sentience Act of 2022) is co-leading a project with Lars Chittka at Queen Mary University of London. They have openings for 2 post-docs to study key evidence gaps in the science of insect sentience. Deadline to apply is Oct 11! (tomorrow)
Also, I just discovered this great substack on invertebrate welfare. We also have a channel for invertebrate welfare on the IAA slack.

small correction that Jonathan Birch is at LSE, not QMUL. Lars Chittka, the co-lead of the project, is at QUML
Corrected, thank you!
