The project will investigate the morphological effects of hybridisation in non-human primates (macaques and baboons) as part of a wider collaboration aiming to better understand hominin hybridisation. A good Masters degree (or equivalent) in biological anthropology or a related subject is required; experience in skeletal morphology, geometric morphometric methods, and multivariate statistics would be advantageous.

Please note: Due to the funding provider, only students eligible for home fees in the UK are able to apply.

Deadline: 12pm, 4th Dec 2023. Start date: February 2024.
