Job description

We seek to attract a PhD student who will be working on the project described below. You are a highly motivated candidate, ideally with a background in either the life or earth sciences, particularly in palaeontology, systematics, and/or anatomy. You are eager to join our new institute and to study the Naturalis natural history collections.
PhD project: Vertebrate palaeontology and systematics of early chondrichthyans
Chondrichthyans feature prominently in debates on the origin of jawed vertebrates, but remarkably little is known about the acquisition of their distinctive anatomical traits. The early fossil record of chondrichthyans is comprised mainly of isolated scales, teeth, and spines, while articulated skeletons are comparatively rare. The current project examines the morphology and phylogenetic relationships of three articulated chondrichthyan and chondrichthyan-like fossil fishes from the Devonian and Carboniferous periods.
The candidate will address several key questions regarding the characters of early chondrichthyans, how chondrichthyans are identified in the fossil record, and the implications for the timing and morphological evolution of both chondrichthyans and early jawed vertebrate fossils.
This project will provide training in phylogenetic techniques, as well as comparative morphological expertise, microscopic and histologic techniques, as well as potential for learning computed tomography techniques and possible fieldwork. Applications from candidates who submit their own project ideas in a related area are encouraged and will be considered.

Requirements

The successful candidate should have a Master's or Honour's bachelorate (or equivalent) degree in biology, geology, or palaeontology with experience in systematics/phylogenetics and preferably knowledge of anatomical or organismal biology. Previous experience in palaeontology preferred but not necessary. Excellent command of the English language (written and verbal) is required. He/she has a scientific and critical attitude, excellent time management and organizational skills, and the ability to work independently. The ideal candidate will be highly motivated with a demonstrated capacity for multidisciplinary research.

Conditions of employment

A contract (36 hours per week) for a period of one year, to be extended with three years after succesful first year evaluation. A salary of circa € 33.000 per year. The candidate will also be affiliated with Leiden University.The appointment must lead to the completion of a PhD thesis.

Contract type: Temporary, one year, to be extended with three years after succesful first year evaluation

Organisation
