Doctoral Fellowship: Functional Morphology and Occlusal Pattern Analysis
of Hominid Teeth
In the framework of the EU-Project “European Virtual Anthropology
Network (EVAN)” the Department of Palaeoanthropology and Quaternary
Palaeontology of the Research Institute Senckenberg in Frankfurt a. M.
invites applications for an early stage researcher Marie Curie
fellowship in the field of functional morphology and occlusal pattern
analysis of hominid teeth. The position is dedicated to studies in
dental palaeoanthropology, virtual modelling, reconstruction, and to the
development of methods and techniques in occlusal analysis.
As a doctoral research project the fellowship is integrated in the
interdisciplinary Workgroup for Dental Anthropology Studies in the
Research Institute Senckenberg. The position has a strong need for
transfer of knowledge to partner institutions and to students. The
3D-Laboratory in the Department is known for its pioneering work on the
application of optical 3D-topometry and digital analysis of tooth wear.
Applicants should hold a M.Sc. university (or comparable) degree, with
formal professional training in one or more of the following areas:
vertebrate palaeontology, palaeoanthropology, functional morphology,
biomechanics, 3D-data processing, digital image analysis, multivariate
statistics in natural sciences.
The fellow will work in the following topics:
1) Parameter catalogue for dental wear pattern and function analysis
2) Applied GMM for tooth crown and dental analysis
3) Standard protocol for surface 3D-data processing
4) Extended concept of dental wear and functional analysis for
prosthetics and orthodontics
5) Virtual simulation of occlusion and function of teeth
6) Program for tooth surface investigation
7) Publications of EVAN output
8) EVAN workshop on tooth evolution and function
9) Temporary exhibition on EVAN in the Senckenberg Museum Frankfurt
(Germany)
According to EU regulations for the appointment of an Early Stage
Researcher the M.Sc. or equivalent access to doctoral studies may not
date back more than 4 years and the applicants must hold a citizenship
others than German.

career exploration allowances € 2000,- once after one year and
participation expenses max. € 400,- per month will be available for 36
months, scheduled to begin in July 2006. Applications should include
cover letter, curriculum vitae, list of publications, reprints of
selected publications, short statements of research experience and
interests. We particularly encourage women to participate in this
application.
Deadline for applications is 31/05/2006.
They should be addressed to: Dr. Ottmar Kullmer, Palaeoanthropology,
Research Institute Senckenberg, Senckenberganlage 25, 60325 Frankfurt am
Main, Germany
Thank you very much in advance,
Best regards,
