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.

Delighted that @countbinface.bsky.social still has the space bridge in Northallerton on his manifesto. People of Clacton - release the residents of a northern market town from the tyrany of endless waiting at Low Gates rail crossing for the 12.53 to Redcar or the 17.32 to York. Power to the people!
In politics, we’re torn between ideals and practicalities, aspirations and realities, the world as we want it, and as we find it But one day a manifesto comes along that reconciles both in every pledge. A rare moment of clarity and hope
@bristolpalaeo.bsky.social MSc student Annes Kathrada gave an inspiring speech at graduation in Feb reflecting on finding community in Bristol and the privilege of education in a world of unequal opportunities and the agency to make change. It's a good watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXrx...

The 4th annual BESERC Bristol Earth Sciences Enhancing Research Culture day is underway - palaeo talks in the first session from @bristolpalaeo.bsky.social Annie Worth on necks and grooming and Dani Schmidt on research and policy in climate adaptation in South West communities
I'm delighted to share that I've been awarded an @erc.europa.eu #ERC Advanced Grant for MAMEVOL - combining fossils, biomechanics and developmental biology to explore how the mammalian jaw, ear and skull evolved, and what functional advantages these innovations may have conferred.

Happy 100th birthday to Sir David Attenborough. It’s been a privilege to meet him several times. My favourite memories are stories of filming escapades, and his good humour. Here, we are laughing at something extremely funny while Andre Rowe, @gimpasaura.bsky.social and Tahlia Pollock play it cool.
Come and work with our colleagues @bristolbiosci.bsky.social - three new lectureship posts around School strategic priorities - including 'Evolutionary Biology and understanding the evolution of life'
JOB ALERT! We are excited to announce that we are recruiting three new academics at lecturer level! Click the link below for more info on how to apply, and don’t forget to explore our research themes too! We look forward to receiving your applications! www.bristol.ac.uk/jobs/find/de...
