POSTDOCTORAL POSITION - DOMESTICATION EFFECTS ON BITING PERFORMANCE IN RATS
Max Planck Weizmann Center for Integrative Archaeology and Anthropology,
Leipzig, Germany
The Max Planck Weizmann Center for Integrative Archaeology and
Anthropology at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology,
Leipzig (Germany) invites applications for a post-doctoral position to
work on a collaborative project to study the effect of domestication on
bite force performance and skull and muscle anatomy in rats.
We are seeking a highly qualified and motivated candidate with
experience in in vivo bite force measurements, anatomical dissection,
muscle physiology, microscopy, histology, immunohistochemistry, CT
imaging and/or geometric morphometrics.
This position is set to begin as soon as 1 November 2014, and
applications will be considered until the position is filled. The
initial length of the appointment will be one year, with an option for
extension. The selected candidate should have a Ph.D. (or be close to
completion) in a relevant area and a significant track record of
research. The Max Planck Society is committed to employing more
physically impaired individuals and to increasing the share of women in
areas where they are underrepresented, and therefore expressly
encourages applications from such qualified individuals.
Applications including cover letter, curriculum vitae, reprints of
selected publications, a short statement of research interests and the
names of at least two referees should be sent as a single PDF document
