Dr. Alison Murray is awarded an NSERC Discovery Grant

Congratulations to PhASE's Dr. Alison Murray for her NSERC Discovery grant titled "Experimental approaches to understanding the evolution of human phenotypic diversity".

Together with her collaborators, Dr. Josh Giles (UVic, Mechanical Engineering) and Dr. Jonathan Wells (University College London), Dr. Murray will look at which forces act on the moving body and how differences in locomotor and energetic selection pressures of the past have shaped the modern human diversity and sexual dimorphism that we see today. Her work combines engineering-based musculoskeletal modelling with laboratory- and field-based experimental analyses of athletes.

Dr. Murray is currently seeking PhD students interested in these or related projects to join our team for Fall 2022 start. If interested, please contact her at amacintosh@uvic.ca

Congratulations again to Dr. Murray! #setPhASERsToStun #NSERC #grant
