1. Morphometrics in Evolutionary or Developmental Biology
2. Evolutionary Medicine
The Fellowship duration is six months, starting either in spring or fall of 2025.
Up to four fellows will be recruited in each field.

Two Calls for KLI Writing-Up Fellowships
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 fellows, visiting scholars, faculty, and students.
The KLI announces up to four Writing-Up Fellowships for students who are in the late stage of their PhD project involving geometric morphometrics, biological image analysis, or computational anatomy to address questions in evolutionary and developmental biology or biomedicine. Candidates are expected to have finished their data collection phase so that they can focus on analysis, conceptual integration, and writing up of their PhD project during the fellowship. At the KLI, the fellows will be advised by Barbara Fischer and Philipp Mitteroecker. The duration of the fellowship is six months, starting either in spring or in fall 2025.
The KLI announces up to four Writing-Up Fellowships for students who are in the late stage of a PhD project addressing topics in evolutionary medicine. Research approaches can involve conceptual, historical, and theoretical methods as well as data-driven, computational, or experimental work. The call is open to all medical topics, including evolutionary psychiatry. Candidates are expected to have finished their data collection phase so that they can focus on analysis, conceptual integration, and writing up of their PhD project during the fellowship. At the KLI, the writing up fellows will be advised by the staff of the institute. The duration of the fellowship is six months, starting either in spring or in fall 2025.
Who is encouraged to apply?
The KLI Writing-Up fellowships aim to support doctoral students in the final stage of their PhD research. Writing-Up fellowships are individual fellowships for researchers in residence and are awarded to work independently on the applicant’s research project supervised by their advisor of their home university. The fellowships are especially well-suited for two categories of PhD students:
PhD students should be interested in extending their research perspective by drawing on novel concepts of evolutionary theory, philosophy of science, cognition research, or biometrics based on long-standing work done at the KLI.
