PhD Opportunity – Bat Functional Morphology & Biomechanics (Fall 2026, University of Tennessee)
PhD Position in Bat Functional Morphology and Biomechanics – University of Tennessee, Knoxville
The Evolutionary Biomechanics Lab led by Dr. Michael Granatosky (Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, University of Tennessee) is recruiting PhD students to begin in Fall 2026. Our lab investigates the evolution of animal locomotion, focusing on how species meet novel biomechanical challenges. Current projects examine the evolution of neuromuscular control systems, the links between musculoskeletal anatomy and performance, and how animals adapt behaviorally and mechanically following limb loss.
For this position, we are particularly seeking students interested in the evolution of terrestrial locomotion in bats.
This project will integrate comparative and experimental approaches to test whether adaptations for quadrupedal agility in bats come at an energetic cost to flight. Students will have opportunities to combine metabolic measurements, high-speed videography, electromyography, force plate analysis, and morphometric dissections across a range of species, including fieldwork in Brazil, where bat diversity is exceptional.
Students in the lab receive broad, hands-on training in functional and anatomical biomechanics, and participate in both independent and team-based research. Our group emphasizes mentorship, collaboration, and professional development in an inclusive environment.
