Tenure-Track Professor in the Field of Functional Morphology of Arthropods

Company

Universität Wien

Job description

We are seeking a scientist with a research agenda that focuses on material and mechanistic understanding of arthropod morphology and its function. The candidate will use state-of-the-art research methods such as high-end microscopy, tomography, and/or high-speed video analyses in combination with imaging software to reconstruct how morphological components interact and how they function in dynamic biological systems. Research organisms may encompass any terrestrial or aquatic panarthropod taxa. We welcome research that may form a link to the applied sciences such as biomechanics/bionics, the material sciences, or robotics. The position will complement existing research on evolutionary morphology, developmental biology, phylogeny, and evolutionary theory at the University of Vienna.The broad field of Animal Morphology at the University of Vienna is largely represented by the Faculty of Life Sciences. The focus is on developmental and evolutionary morphology, while the position for functional morphology is currently vacant. Even though several animals are investigated, not a single position is devoted to arthropod morphology, although these animals comprise by far the largest group of species on our planet. The broad methodological spectrum used by the Faculty guarantees a fantastic infrastructure for the newly hired colleague and will allow for an immediate start of his*her research activities. Functional research on the currently not covered arthropods will put the new colleague in a unique and prominent position within the biological disciplines of our Faculty. Due to shared interests with other colleagues, integration is expected to occur smoothly and rapidly. Information on the prime research environment can be found on the homepage of the Department of Evolutionary Biology: . Organismal research at the Faculty of Life Sciences is practiced by several research groups. There exists a great potential for elaborating on existing and establishing novel collaborations, e.g., in the fields of animal-plant interactions, neuro- and developmental biology, as well as ecology.Your academic profile:
