About this position

Postdoctoral Associate at Rutgers University in the Department of Ecology, Evolution & Natural Resources (School of Environmental and Biological Sciences), New Brunswick, New Jersey, United States.

This postdoctoral position focuses on vertebrate functional morphology and evolution, especially the functional and biomechanical drivers of secondarily aquatic transformations in amniotes and their terrestrial ancestors, ideally from a postcranial perspective.

Research themes include: comparative morphology and machine learning (shape correspondence, spectral/graph-based surface alignment, autoencoder-based shape extraction), phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis (comparative methods, developmental sequence testing, body-size evolution), and biomechanical/hydrodynamic modeling (computational fluid dynamics, vortex shedding, lift generation, limb loss/retention, body shape).

Eligibility highlights: Ph.D. in Evolutionary Biology, Earth Sciences, Anatomy and Physiology, or another paleontological field. Strong skills in computational fluid dynamics, geometric morphometrics or 3D shape analysis, and kinematics are required; backgrounds in vertebrate morphology, paleontology, biomechanics, comparative anatomy, and phylogenetics are preferred.

Funding and terms: Salary is listed at $63,968. The initial appointment is 2 years and may be extended depending on performance and funding availability. Rutgers also provides employee benefits for eligible staff.

Application: Apply via the Rutgers job portal using the Apply for this Job link. The posting closes on 2026-12-11. Required documents include a CV and certifications/licenses; a cover letter is optional.
