*Postdoctoral Marie Curie Fellowship: Quantitative Morphometry of
biological objects*
The Department of Anthropology at the University of Vienna invites
applications for a post-doctoral Marie Curie Research Training
fellowship (EVAN) in the field of quantitative morphometry of biological
objects. The position is dedicated to studies in palaeoanthropology,
growth & development, and reconstruction and to the development of
methods and techniques in Geometric Morphometrics (GMM) and Virtual
Anthropology (VA).
The position is mainly a research post but with a strong need for
transfer of knowledge to partner institutions and to students. The
department is well-known for this kind of research and one of the major
centres for development. The department also offers one of Europe’s
most comprehensive course programs in GMM and VA. Together with its
manifold international contacts, it will provide substantial support in
a highly stimulating environment.
The successful candidate will be well-versed in biometrical methods and
in the development and programming for advanced morphometrics and
biostatistics (image analyses, surface & volume data, missing data,
deformations, data-guided reconstruction, integration of categorical
data with geometrical data, extensions to semilandmarks). Background
should include formal professional training in one or more of the
following four areas: computational geometry, multivariate statistics in
the natural sciences, medical image analysis, remote sensing of surfaces.
The fellow will work on the following research topics:
Integration of categorical and continuous data
Development of methods for surface & volume matching
New surface/deformation models for surface data
GMM for scarce-landmark objects
Input to the toolboxes from new developments (integration of categorical
and continuous data, surface and volume matching, missing data, etc.)
Data-guided geometrical and statistical reconstruction of specimens
Tutorial for VA and GMM
Web-platform for information and exchange in VA and GMM
Marie Curie funding for this fellowship will be available for 28 months,
scheduled to begin in April 2006. A Ph.D. is required at the time of
application. Applications should include cover letter, curriculum vitae,
list of publications, reprints of selected publications, short
statements of research interests, and the names of three referees. They
should be sent to:
