Project Title
Teratology in microfossils as a proxy for understanding mass- extinctions through time
Institution
Ghent University - Belgium
Supervisors and Institutions
Prof Thijs Vandenbroucke (Ghent University, Belgium), Dr Barry Lomax (University of Nottingham, UK), Prof Cindy Looy (University of California, Berkeley, USA), Dr Bas van de Schootbrugge (Utrecht University, The Netherlands)
Funding Status

Project Description
Applications are invited for two three-year PhD researcher positions investigating the palaeobiology of teratologic microfossils during respectively Silurian (project 1) and Jurassic (project 2) extinction events. The positions are funded by the Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) and form part of a series of new hires by an international consortium, involving researchers at the universities of Ghent, Nottingham, Utrecht and California-Berkeley. The PhD students will be based at UGent. Project two (Jurassic teratologies) will be a joint PhD between the Universities of Utrecht and Ghent.
