Postdoc Vert Paleo
Paula Liliana Narvaez
The Florida Museum of Natural History invites applications for a two year (24 months) Postdoctoral Scholar to join an NSF-funded research project. This collaborative project leverages high-resolution fossil records from the Bighorn Basin, Wyoming, and innovative AI workflows to investigate the impact of climate change on mammalian functional diversity. The research focuses on the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), a period of intense global warming approximately 56 million years ago, providing a unique opportunity to test models of ecosystem resilience and functional diversity.
Key Responsibilities:
- Morphotype and sort mammalian postcranial and dental fossil specimens.
- MicroCT scan fossil specimens for downstream analysis.
- Develop and implement advanced AI models for analyzing fossil morphology using 3D data and machine learning techniques.
- Participate in Broader Impacts activities during the field seasons, including mentorship of a Fieldwork Professional Development student alongside project PIs.
- Oversee Florida Museum Undergraduate interns working on grant objectives, including vertebrate fossil curation, microCT scanning, AI workflow, and individual research projects.
- Prepare manuscripts for peer-reviewed journals and present findings at national and international conferences.
Desired Start Date: May 1st, 2025; depending on availability.
