Dear all, We are seeking a PhD student in evolutionary morphometrics at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, including research stays at University of California, Berkeley.
The position will be supervised by myself and Rasmus Nielsen, focused on applying new methods of phylogenetic inference to full 2D and 3D shapes. The student will be embedded in a team of computational scientists working on the mathematics of differential geometry and shape transformation, and biologists working on applied phylogenetics. Specifically, the student will compare the performance of our developed methods to more “traditional” morphological (i.e. linear measurements, character matrices) and landmark-based geometric morphometric approaches, with empirical studies ranging from fluctuating asymmetry in butterfly wings, dog domestication, palaeohominid history, and bird beak evolution. More details are found in the links below, or feel free to write me with any questions. https://employment.ku.dk/phd/?show=156254 https://twitter.com/CCEM_ucph Christy Anna Hipsley, Assistant Professor Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen Universitetsparken 15, Building 3 Room 518 DK-2100 København, Denmark Email: [email protected] http://blogs.unimelb.edu.au/hipsleylab/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Morphmet" group.
