A fully funded doctoral scholarship in evolutionary/biological

anthropology is available at the University of Oxford, to study the

evolution of human social and cultural behaviour.

The specific focus of the project will be determined by the interests

of the student. A number of directions at the interface of biology and

anthropology are possible, ranging from comparative studies of social

behaviour across species to field-based data collection and analysis.

The student will be supervised by Dr. Laura Fortunato; co-supervision

will be arranged where possible, and depending on the focus of the

project. Details on areas of ongoing research are at:

www.santafe.edu/~fortunato/research/

The ideal candidate will have training in anthropology, biology or

related subjects, an excellent academic record, and

quantitative/computational skills. The student will be based at the

Institute of Cognitive ad Evolutionary Anthropology at the University

of Oxford, to begin in October 2015.

The formal deadline for applications is 2015-01-23. The scholarship is

open to applicants of any nationality, but who have been ordinarily

resident in the UK for at least five years before the start of the

course.

Potential applicants who meet the eligibility criteria are strongly

encouraged to make an initial informal enquiry, as detailed here:
