We are seeking a creative post-doctoral researcher who is enthusiastic about discovering how the neck contributes to feeding and ultimately the origin and evolution of tetrapods. You will reconstruct and measure the 3D motion of the head and vertebral column during feeding in live salamanders, and compare these across developmental stages, habitats, and species.
This position requires knowledge of biomechanics, experience with kinematic data collection and analysis, and clear written and visual communication of research data. Skills in 3D motion analysis (including XROMM), 3D digital animation software, or 3D anatomical imaging (e.g., CT or X-ray) are desirable. You will be joining a diverse and experienced biomechanics research group with shared facilities in the Department of Musculoskeletal and Ageing Science in the Institute of Life Course and Medical Science (ILCaMS) at the University of Liverpool, UK. This project also offers international collaborations with researchers in Germany, and Belgium. You will work with this team of biologists to develop skills in analysing 3D motion from x-ray video and skeletal models, and present and publish the experimental results from this exciting model system.
The position is available on a fixed term basis for 4 years and is expected to start on the 1 March 2025.
Any applicants who are still awaiting their PhD to be awarded should be aware that if successful, they will be appointed at grade 6, spine point 30. Upon written confirmation that they have been successful in being awarded their PhD, they will be moved onto grade 7, spine point 31 from the date of their award.
