Tasks

Research

  • You develop a research program at an international level that integrates the fields of palaeobiology, evolution, and palaeoecology and by applying an integrative approach combining morphology, histology, phylogeny, taphonomy and palaeoenvironmental reconstructions. The research program is conducted within the framework of a FED-tWIN collaboration between UMONS and RBINS (Profile EVO-GROW: Evolution of growth in tetrapods: heterochronic shifts and environmental influences).
  • This project focuses on tetrapods, a large group of four-limbed animals including amphibians, ‘reptiles’, birds and mammals, and is aimed at obtaining data from deep time evolution processes to better understand their biodiversity today. From the evolution of amniotes in the Late Paleozoic to the rise of mammals in the Cenozoic, major innovations in tetrapod evolution came from body size changes, through gigantism, but also miniaturization. Many of these innovations occurred in the wake of major environmental changes and extinction events. The main goal of this project will be the quantification and understanding of evolutionary dynamics of growth patterns in specific extinct and extant tetrapod lineages in a geological timeframe of environmental changes. During major biodiversity crises, large-bodied species, which cannot find sufficient resources, are usually eliminated, while in recovery phases, smaller and more opportunistic survivor taxa rapidly diversify and eventually generate larger bodied species (cf. non-dinosaurian archosaurs in the Triassic, and saurischian dinosaurs in the Jurassic). Such increasing trends in body size are likely due to resource availability and ecosystem recovery, as demonstrated by the rise of dinosaurs in the wake of the Triassic-Jurassic extinction. Similarly, other environmental changes may bring about previously unavailable resources, leading to increasing body size disparity. Changes in growth rate and timing of developmental processes (= heterochronies) are a frequent common factor in evolutionary changes in body size. A proven method to understand growth patterns in fossil tetrapods resides in studying fossilized bone tissues. Comparisons of macro- and micro-anatomical features of fossil and modern taxa allow inference of growth strategies and developmental processes in extinct tetrapods. To fully understand the scope of long-term environmental effects on heterochronies in the development and evolution of tetrapods, the FED-tWIN candidate will thus engage in the study of bone morphological and/or histological features in tetrapod lineages that endured such changes. Combining geological stratigraphic records and environmental reconstructions with phylogenetic comparative methods and ancestral state reconstructions will allow mapping the evolution of growth patterns through time.
  • You develop a research plan within the strategy outlined in the FED-tWIN research profile and in synergy with research groups at UMONS and RBINS. This FED-tWIN research profile specifically aims at developing a strong scientific collaboration between UMONS and RBINS.
  • You publish at the highest level in the domain, you are able to obtain competitive financing, you develop international cooperation and you supervise MSc and PhD students at an international level.


Teaching

  • You provide high-quality education in the domain of Paleontological Sciences within the bachelor and master program at UMONS, with a clear commitment to the quality of the programme as a whole.


Services

  • Service provision is an important aspect of this FED-tWIN profile. This includes science management, science outreach, accommodating interns and visiting scientists, organising and/or contributing to training programmes, and answering questions from the general public. Support to ongoing and future projects on inventory, reordering and valorisation of mineralogical/paleontological collections owned by UMONS would be highly appreciated.

Context

The Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences and the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Antwerp have the following full-time vacancy (100%) available. This position consists of two related appointments in the context of the federal government's FED-tWIN funding program, in particular:

 

  1. A Part-time (50%) appointment as research workleader (SW2) at the RBINS
  2. A part-time (50%) appointment as postdoc researcher (BAP) at UAntwerpen, Faculty of Sciences

 

FED-tWIN is a federal research program of the Federal Public Service Science Policy Programming Service (BELSPO) with the aim of stimulating sustainable cooperation between ten federal science institutions and Belgian Universities trough the funding of joint research profiles.

 

This vacancy is part of the FED-tWIN research profile Prf-2022-008 - MEATLOAF - The evolutionary shift of Meat-EATing mammals to life in water: a deep time, multi-proxy investigation of the LOcomotion And Feeding adaptions of aquatic carnivorans. You implement the FED-tWIN MEATLOAF research profile in the RBINS (50%) and the UAntwerpen (50%).

 

The RBIN’s Paleobiosphere Evolution research unit (Operational Directorate Earth and History of Life) and the Functional Morphology research group (Department of Biology) of the University of Antwerp aim to develop a new avenue of research on aquatic carnivorans, in the fields of paleontology, evolution and functional morphology. Together, these institutions have extensive experience in these fields and house world-class collections of fossil and extant aquatic carnivorans, as well as highly complementary skills, labs and facilities. The proposed profile will make a strong link between the two institutions, with a view to creating a hotspot in the field of aquatic tetrapod evolution and functional morphology.

 

Brief description of the MEATLOAF project

Among mammals, aquatic taxa within the order Carnivora, or “meat-eaters”, show an 'incomplete' transition to life in the aquatic environment: pinnipeds, otters, polar bears, and even the fishing cat rely heavily on water for feeding, but none are exclusively aquatic and they all still return to land to rest, give birth, etc. The transition from a terrestrial to a (semi-)aquatic lifestyle is an impactful biological shift, prompting various physiological and anatomical adaptations. The repeated evolution of a semi-aquatic lifestyle in Carnivora begs the following questions: Which environmental and ecological changes triggered this transition in each group? How did these carnivorans functionally adapt to life in water? What are the similarities and differences among these groups, and between aquatic carnivorans and other aquatic mammals? And, more specifically, what is the extent of morphological and functional convergences?

 

The MEATLOAF project aims to investigate the different evolutionary aspects of this transition in carnivorans from land to water, specifically targeting adaptations for locomotion and feeding, using a variety of well-supported proxies organized along two main approaches: (1) a comparative approach, documenting the morphological diversity and shifts in morphology, and (2) a modelling approach, focusing on performance and loading of the recorded morphologies. Comparative aspects will include anatomical, systematic and phylogenetic analyses, as well as geometric morphometric and microanatomical-osteohistological aspects to quantify internal and external morphology. The modelling approach will encompass functional analyses, finite element analyses, computational fluid dynamics, and musculo-skeletal modelling. A synthesis of the results of these different packages will ultimately result in a time-calibrated assessment of the paleoecological and paleoenvironmental frameworks in which these groups evolved to life in water, in order to better understand the biotic and abiotic drivers of such a major, iterative transition.

Tasks

  • You will implement a cutting-edge research program in the fields described above;
  • You will publish scientific articles related to the research project;
  • You will be involved in research stays in partner institutions in and outside Europe;
  • You will take charge of the supervision of Master and PhD theses, seminars at Master level, and a limited number of teaching and research support tasks for the Department of Biology at the University of Antwerp;
  • You will actively participate in the study and management of aquatic carnivoran paleontology collections of the RBINS;
  • You will participate in the communication and dissemination of knowledge and research results to the student community, the scientific community and civil society;
