Career Paths

Students in the Anatomy and Vertebrate Paleontology track can pursue a career teaching medical gross anatomy, development, histology, and neuroanatomy, and gain experience in vertebrate paleontology research under the guidance of a biomedical sciences graduate faculty mentor.

Highlights

Nationally Recognized Research and Faculty

Paleontological research at the OSU Center for Health Sciences spans the Mississippian to the Recent, fossil bone microstructure to long-term patterns in paleobiodiversity, and turtles to mice. Faculty research interests are currently concentrated in Mammalia and Archosauria.

Research Facilities

The program features 5 lab spaces, allowing for comparative dissections, fossil preparation and recovery, paleohistology, and 3-D image processing.

Volunteer Program

The vertebrate paleontology volunteer program assists on research projects and provides opportunities for student and faculty outreach. Volunteers assist paleontology faculty, staff, and graduate students on paleontological research projects, helping to collect data to answer questions about Earth's ancient past.
