*JOB ADVERT* * * *Post Title: **Postdoctoral Marie Curie Fellowship (EVAN Training Network) * * * *Location:* *A joint appointment of Hull York Medical School (HYMS) and the Department of Computer Science, University of Hull* * * Applications are invited from computer scientists to develop innovative visualization-based software to support research in the field of geometric morphometrics (i.e. study of shape variations in biological data). This post is within the Marie Curie Research Training Network: European Virtual Anthropology Network (EVAN) involving 15 research partners. You will work in a focused research team with members from the Simulation and Visualization Research Group (Computer Science at Hull) and the Functional Morphology and Evolution Research Group (HYMS at York and Hull). A key aim of the post of EVAN is to advance the state of the art in terms of software for visualization and analysis using geometric morphometrics. This software will be used in studies of biological form by the other partners of EVAN. Thus, your role will involve collaborating with EVAN partners to establish software requirements, developing the software and advising partners on the use of the software for their biological studies. You should have a strong background in algorithm development, computer graphics and object-oriented software development. Skills in C++ and OpenGL are essential. Previous experience in geometric morphometrics is not expected, but a good grounding in mathematics for computing is required.. In order to comply with Marie Curie programme rules, the appointee cannot be a UK national or have resided or carried out their main activity in UK for more than 12 months in the three years immediately prior to commencement. *Further details are available at www.evan.at, www.york.ac.uk/res/fme <http://www.york.ac.uk/res/fme> and www.dcs.hull.ac.uk/simvis/* This post is available from beginning January onwards for a period of two years. Salary will be within the range £23,002 to £27,466 per annum (€41,072 - €54,351 per annum). An additional annual travel allowance (between €250 - €2,000) is payable depending on the distance from Hull / York to the appointee’s location of origin and a one-off career exploratory allowance of €2,000 is payable after 12 months. Informal enquiries and for further information about this project, please contact Professor Roger Phillips (tel 01482 465680, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>). *Reference: FS56 * *Closing date: 18/12/2007* -- Replies will be sent to the list.
