Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Interdisciplinary Informatics are sponsored jointly by the Directorates for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) and Biological Sciences (BIO) to encourage research and training that cross the traditional disciplinary boundaries between them. These fellowships provide opportunities for interdisciplinary research and educational activities in biology and informatics to a wide range of recent doctoral recipients (biologists, chemists, physicists, mathematicians, statisticians, computer scientists, and others) who seek to conduct research on biological questions using informatics tools and methods. It is expected that the Fellows trained through these fellowships will play an important role in training the future workforce. Postdoctoral training in informatics will permit junior scientists trained in biology, mathematical, chemical, and physical sciences to play key roles in developing new quantitative tools and methods that will advance informatics in biology and other fields. The research and training plan is entitled "Quantification and removal of distortion in fossils using geometric morphometrics". Many fossil specimens have been deformed by geological processes, resulting in "noise" that can mislead morphological analyses. The goal of this project is to develop a geometric morphometrics method to quantify and remove the effects of distortion in fossils. The technique will be broadly applicable and will use evolutionary studies of groups such as dicynodont therapsids and conodont vertebrates.

跨学科信息学博士后研究奖学金由数学和物理科学（MPS）和生物科学（BIO）董事会联合赞助，以鼓励跨越传统学科界限的研究和培训。这些奖学金为生物学和信息学的跨学科研究和教育活动提供了机会，以广泛的近期博士学位获得者（生物学家，化学家，物理学家，数学家，统计学家，计算机科学家等），他们寻求使用信息学工具和方法对生物学问题进行研究。 预计通过这些研究金培训的研究员将在培训未来的工作人员方面发挥重要作用。信息学博士后培训将允许接受生物学，数学，化学和物理科学培训的初级科学家在开发新的定量工具和方法方面发挥关键作用，这些工具和方法将推动生物学和其他领域的信息学。研究和培训计划的题目是“利用几何形态计量学量化和消除化石中的变形”。 许多化石标本因地质作用而变形，产生的“噪音”会误导形态分析。本项目的目标是开发一种几何形态测量方法来量化和消除化石中的变形影响。该技术将被广泛应用，并将使用诸如双齿兽和牙形刺脊椎动物等群体的进化研究。
