Temporary Associate Professor in Integrative Evolutionary Morphology
Department of Biology

Faculty of Science
University of Copenhagen

The University seeks to appoint an associate professor to the Department of Biology to commence January 1st 2024 and terminate December 31st 2025.

Job description
The position is dedicated to organism-based interdisciplinary research, specifically related to morphological phenotype and its relation to ecological and evolutionary factors. Research will focus on linking organismal phenotypes with their genetic backgrounds, by integrating phenotypic and phylogenetic/genomic and/or other multi-omic data. This will mainly be done through digital imaging of biological specimens, using cutting-edge techniques such as X-ray micro-computed tomography combined with geometric morphometrics. The applicant is expected to work together with the University of Copenhagen’s Zoological Museum (part of The Natural History Museum of Denmark) and the Department of Computer Science (DIKU) to develop computational workflows for the analysis of high-dimensional phenotypes. Other responsibilities include research-based teaching, co-supervising students, public engagement, citizen science, and serving as a liaison between natural and computer sciences within the field of evolutionary biology.

The associate professor’s responsibilities will primarily consist of:

  • Research, including publication/academic dissemination
  • Research-based teaching, including associated examination
  • Research leadership, including guidance and supervision of students and/or postdocs
  • Obligation to share knowledge with the rest of society, including participation in public outreach
  • Academic assessments
  • Other tasks requested by the Department

The Associate Professor is expected to take the initial steps towards establishing an externally funded research program within the field of Integrative Evolutionary Morphology.

Qualifications/profile
Applicants should have a scientific background within Integrative Evolutionary Morphology. Applicants are expected to have knowledge of classic comparative anatomy, modern taxonomy/systematics, and biostatical procedures for analyses of digital phenotypes. A broad understanding of modern and palaeontological collections, to facilitate identification and sourcing of relevant material, is also expected. Key competences include X-ray computed tomography, 3D modelling, museum curation, biostatistics, geometric morphometrics, molecular phylogenetics, comparative anatomy, and vertebrate paleontology.

Six overall criteria apply for associate professor appointments at the University of Copenhagen. The six criteria (research, teaching, societal impact, organisational contribution, external funding and leadership) are considered a framework for an overall assessment of the candidates. Furthermore, each candidate must be assessed according to the specific requirements stated in the job advertisement.
