invites applications for a post-doctoral scholar to help develop and curate the Neuroptera Anatomy Ontology and to design research that tests the utility of semantic approaches to phenotype description. The successful applicant will work on morphological imaging
and the application of ontologies to facilitate the dissemination of phenotype data, as well as matching of the NAO with other arthropod ontologies. </span></p>
