Two grant-funded opportunities with The Human Skeletal Biology Lab, housed in Des Moines University’s Department of Anatomy:
1) a paid post-doctoral research position starting Spring 2021 (with June 2021 as latest starting date);
2) a Masters of Anatomy Thesis student position with partial tuition funding starting Fall 2021.

Both funded through the National Institute of Justice grant awarded to Dr. Lauren Butaric, Ph.D. (PI) and Dr. Heather Garvin, Ph.D., D-ABFA (Co-PI) on a project focused on creating empirically-based guidelines for forensic identifications utilising the frontal sinus.
