Spanning anatomy, forensic anthropology and forensic science, CAHID has a vibrant and exciting research focus and reach. This Anatomy and Human Identification PhD programme is offered at the University of Dundee . Our current cohort of over 25 research students come from all over the world and include a mixture of part time and full time researchers, many of whom are themselves practitioners. We disseminate our research widely across the peer reviewed literature, both in domain specific and in wider scientific journals, and regularly present our work at conferences and through public engagement activities.
