Unfortunately, it is unlikely that the Geometric Morphometrics Lab will continue at Florida State University, but it sounds like you have a genuine interest in morphometrics. I highly encourage you to continue your studies with another lab that specializes
in morphometrics. A good place to start would be the "People" tab of the SUNY Stony Brook morphometrics page (<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://life.bio.sunysb.edu/morph/__;!!PhOWcWs!mBX4rriNtHgIYyBPfraR6hYrGPpvFx-afCKFEZr2Vfy03EPgqbK7a0AD_C7qZ6xyaA$" id="LPNoLP222419">https://life.bio.sunysb.edu/morph/</a>) which has a list of researchers and their
interests, although it is a few years out of date.<br>

<p>Dear Prof. Slice,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If you remember I was going to have a research visit or sabbatical during my PhD under your supervision. But unfortunately I could not do it by the time just because I did not have enough money for USA and I had to do it in Czech Republic while always I
loved to be in your lab. I did my internship in University of South Bohemia, Czech republic and graduated my PhD degree in 2017. Now I am writing you in order to apply a possible PhD position under your supervision.</p>
<p>As a brief introduction of myself, I am bachelor of Plant Protection, master and PhD of Insect Biosystematics, University of Tehran, the first ranked university in Iran. I have worked on biosystematics of lady beetles and bee flies over my postgraduate years
including geometric morphometric studies on different populations of insects. I conducted a lot of investigations with respect to different populations of insects based on method of Geometric Morphometric on wings, which made me really interested, experienced
and advanced in this method in a way that I am professional user of software: TpsDig, Tpsrelw, Tpsreg, Digimizer, Mvsp, Spss, Minitab and so on.</p>
<p>I am really enthusiastic about geometric morphometric method and shape analysis so much that always I would love to enhance my knowledge about it and get lost in it under any name, PhD, Post doc, Researcher, second PhD etc. As the matter of fact, although
I have already a PhD, names do not matter for me and I want to do just my interest, either it is post doc or second PhD or whatever.</p>
<p>I have been reading your articles. I have to say I love field of your work. That is why I am writing this letter to apply any possible PhD position with you. Please find attached my CV for further assess. I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you
further about my qualifications.</p>
<p>I am looking forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Sincerely yours,</p>
<p>Rahim Abdolahi</p>

<div class="x_pre" style="margin:0; padding:0; font-family:monospace">Mr. Rahim, I am currently in Vienna and catching up on emails. I am wondering if you have made any progress, found out any more information, or established other contacts at FSU. Another
Iranian student here on a similar (same?) program said she was willing to communicate with you on this issue. I believe I sent her your email. Did anything happen?<br>
<br>
I am afraid that on my laptop I have a great period of emails, including yours, that are missing.<br>
<br>
Anyway, keep trying (see note in signature). I am happy to help if such a visit would be the best use of your time and resources.<br>
