<span style="font-family:Roboto;color:#333333">The openVertebrate (oVert) Thematic Collection Network (TCN)—funded by the US National Science Foundation—is seeking a postdoctoral scientist that will work with the oVert team to develop and fine-tune protocols
for imaging using x-ray computed tomography (CT-scanning) and workflows for sharing digital anatomical datasets using on-line depositories. A portion of this position will be dedicated to project management and grant administration.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family:Roboto;color:#333333">The successful applicant will be based at the University of Florida (Gainesville, FL) and work directly with Dr. David Blackburn and Dr. Edward Stanley, both faculty at the Florida Museum of Natural History. This
will be a highly collaborative environment with interactions with PIs, staff, and students at the 18 participating institutions, including staff for the on-line depository MorphoSource (based at Duke University). The successful applicant will work with oVert
PIs to develop written workflows and on-line tutorials related to accessing and using CT data by the research and educational communities. They will be expected to facilitate on-site training for students and visitors and engage in some travel for similar
training at other institutions in the US. In addition, they will participate in regular in-person and virtual project meetings on a bi-weekly basis for the oVert TCN. A portion of time will also be dedicated to pursuing independent research related to the
CT data generated from the oVert TCN.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family:Roboto;color:#333333">Following the guidance of the National Academies of Science and Engineering on how to best enhance postdoctoral experiences (http://bit.ly/NASEpostdoc), the PIs will provide: clear communication about the nature
of the work to be performed and evaluation processes; career counseling; training in preparation of grant proposals, publications, and presentations; guidance on ways to improve teaching and mentoring skills; guidance on how to effectively collaborate with
researchers from diverse backgrounds and disciplinary areas and with members of the local community; and training in responsible professional practices.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
