He is an associate professor for theoretical biology at the Department of Evolutionary Biology at the University of Vienna and a member of the board of directors of the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognitive Research (KLI).

Career

Philipp Mitteröcker graduated from the Donaustadt technical college in the field of computer science and studied human biology at the University of Vienna from 1995, where he graduated with a master's degree in 2001. He then completed a doctorate in biological anthropology and was a lecturer at the University of Vienna. After completing his doctorate in 2007, Mitteröcker was a postdoctoral fellow at the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognitive Research (KLI) in Altenberg. In 2009 he returned as an assistant professor in the Dept. for Theoretical Biology back to the University of Vienna, where he completed his habilitation in 2011 in Theoretical Biology. He has been an associate professor since 2017.

Mitteröcker teaches at the University of Vienna and the University of Graz .

His research interests focus on the evolutionary origins of human and animal anatomy, evolutionary medicine, and biological anthropology . He has also made methodological contributions to morphometry , multivariate biostatistics and quantitative genetics .
