Opportunities
We welcome applications from motivated students and researchers who share our interest in the evolution of humans and primates. The lab is based at the School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography, University of Oxford.
Please read the descriptions below and get in touch with a CV and a brief description of your research interests before making a formal application.
DPhil Students
We supervise DPhil students through the DPhil in Anthropology at the University of Oxford. Strong candidates will have a background in biological anthropology, evolutionary biology, zoology, or a related field, and ideally some experience with quantitative or computational methods (morphometrics, phylogenetics, biomechanics, or statistics).
Funding is available through Oxford's graduate scholarship schemes and external fellowships (e.g. Clarendon, NERC DTP). We encourage prospective students to contact Thomas well in advance of application deadlines to discuss project ideas.
Postdoctoral Researchers
We are interested in hosting postdoctoral researchers through fellowship schemes such as:
- Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship
- Newton International Fellowship (Royal Society)
- Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions
- Wellcome Early Career Award
- HFSP Postdoctoral Fellowship
If you are interested in applying for any of these with Thomas as a sponsor, please get in touch.
Visiting Researchers & Students
We welcome visiting researchers and graduate students for short- or medium-term stays. Oxford offers several mechanisms for formal visiting student status. Please contact Thomas to discuss possibilities.
