Michael Pittman

The Michael Pittman Palaeobiology Lab at the School of Life Sciences, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, is offering a funded four-year PhD position focused on the evolution of wing anatomy and function in pterosaurs. The project investigates how pterosaur wings evolved and operated, combining palaeobiological research with the study of anatomy and flight function. The successful student will join a strong, diverse team with opportunities to collaborate with researchers internationally and work in museums worldwide. The lab studies dinosaurs, flight and related areas of vertebrate palaeobiology, providing an international research environment with global collaborators and diverse expertise.
