Dear morphometricians,
The KLI has advertised a 3-year postdoc position on the morphometrics and evolutionary modeling of urban structures (buildings, cities). This goes beyond biology but aims at using methods from our fields. Maybe this of interest to some of you. Note that the call closes end of the month already. Here the call: The Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research (KLI) in Klosterneuburg, Austria, is an international center for advanced studies in the life sciences, with a focus on conceptual, philosophical, historical, and mathematical approaches in evolutionary biology and biomedicine. Embedded in a vibrant research community in the Vienna area, the KLI typically hosts about 20-25 fellows, visiting scholars, faculty, and students. The KLI offers a postdoc fellowship in a research project on "urban form evolution,” led by Prof. Sergio Porta at University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, and Prof. Philipp Mitteroecker at Univ. of Vienna. The project is a collective effort supported by an international network of scientists also including Prof. Monika Kuffer at Univ. of Twente; Prof. Licia Capra and Prof. Stephen Marshall at University College London; Dr. Martin Fleischmann at Charles Univ. in Prague, and Prof. Wowo Ding at Nanjing University. This highly interdisciplinary project aims to understand the formation and transformation of urban morphology structures by applying concepts and models from organismal and cultural evolution. This includes the morphometric analysis of urban form and the modelling of “phylogenic relationships” between urban form taxa. The successful candidate will show a good combination of all essential and one or more desirable skills. Essential skills are required in the domain of evolutionary and morphometric modelling, and at least basic programming skills. Desirable skills are appreciated in the domains of geo-spatial analysis, evolutionary theory, cultural evolution, and the philosophy of biology. For application, please send a letter of motivation with a summary of research experience and interests, an academic curriculum vitae, and a list of publications to [email protected] until February 28.
