Senior Lecturer in Zoology at Manchester Met. Biomechanics, comparative anatomy, 3D imaging, palaeontology.

We will have a 23 month research associate role opening to support our work on mammal fossils from the Isle of Skye. Open to candidates with substantial CT-segmentation experience with Masters or PhD qualifications. Advert should be out next week - will post soon but do get in touch if of interest.

We're looking for a CV/ML Engineer to help us improve the machine learning systems that power iNaturalist's species identification and geographic range modeling. If you're excited to help build tools that help millions of people engage with nature, we'd love to hear from you! Apply: buff.ly/YZqaW6c

We’re having an amazing time on our MMU field trip to Northern Tanzania. We’ve visited Tarangire and Lake Manyara NPs and visited with the Hadzabe. We’re off to the Serengeti tomorrow. Students have been exceptional 👍

Looking for a cool MRes degree project in a great 5-faculty biomechanics lab in the UK? I've still got one open, on the biomechanics of locomotion in chickens. Great for people wanting a biomechanics background, anatomy, evolution, animal welfare/veterinary, etc.! www.rvc.ac.uk/study/postgr...

Can you tell what an animal eats just by looking at its teeth - even if it evolved on the other side of the mammal family tree?🐒🦘 We studied primate and marsupial teeth and found that, in general, 'yes, we can'! Using dental topography, we reached a dietary classification accuracy of ~70%. 1/6

Our PhD opportunity is still open. A match-funded project with @chesterzoo.bsky.social, where the student will also be a Conservation Scholar. An exciting interdisciplinary project that can be tailored to the student. Even the pigeons are interested in our LiDAR scanner!

We’re interested in folks applying from all manner of disciplinary backgrounds. Biology, zoology of course. But also computer science, remote sensing, architecture. If you’re keen to work with LiDAR and point clouds, we’d like to hear from you!

Well, we officially quit trying to travel to SICB. 50 hours in Schiphol airport. Total chaos. Now on a ferry(!) to Newcastle just to get home 💀 So gutted to miss the conference and my colleagues!
