To whom it may concern


I am Killian Leblanc, a Master of Science's graduate (since 2019) in
biology and systematic from Sorbonne University in collaboration with the
natural history museum of Paris (MNHN). I'm currently looking for a job as
a research assistant, and I wanted to know if my profile could interest you.

During my master's thesis, I worked on the burrowing frog genus
* Synapturanus*, with Antoine Fouquet and Anne-Claire Fabre. We used a
taxonomy integrative protocol based on 16S gene metabarcoding,
vocalization, and external allometry to establish different candidate
species hypotheses during this study. We also examined candidate species
with a complete molecular database (mitogenome and nuclear genes) with
regards to morphometric analyses (3D landmarks on skull and humerus) and
biogeography. We published two papers on the genus this year. I mainly
contributed to the statistical analysis, morphological description, and
geomorphic morphometrics shape analysis.

Besides all my work on *Synapturanus*, I developed a high interest in 3D
printing. I learned that the 3D models of my specimens were compatible with
this technology. I decided to print the osteological part of my specimens.
I think that could be useful for exposition or as pedagogical tools, and I
would be pleased to use those skills as an additional part of my work.

I hope that I could put my skills at work in your lab, and if there is no
position, I would be grateful if you know a person who might be interesting
in my profile.

Thank you in advance for your attention and your answer,

Best regards,


Killian Leblanc

Hi Killian,

   Unfortunately, Dr. Dennis Slice passed away in 2019.  As a result, the MorphLab at FSU has been inactive ever since.  You may want to talk with Dr. Bridget Algee-Hewitt at Stanford University though.  She does a lot of work that is quite similar to what the Morphometrics Lab was working on prior to Dr. Slice's death and is one of the leading morphometrics researchers in the US.  https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://profiles.stanford.edu/bridget-algee-hewitt__;!!PhOWcWs!lqB-4MpTBZtvGrzQln6yjMkOzSU0ipW7mTIsnb0SyTdMgRBsTjMHK18_TxHperilJA$ .

Thank you for your interest.
Sincerely,
Alex Townsend
