Farish Jenkins is Alexander Agassiz Professor of Zoology at Harvard University, and also serves as Professor of Anatomy in Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology (Harvard Medical School) and Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology and Mammalogy in the Museum of Comparative Zoology.

His research interests are broadly in the area of vertebrate evolution, and focus on diverse structural and functional complexes during major evolutionary transitions. He has employed experimental studies of living animals to gain insights into the fossil record, and was the first to employ cineradiography to study animal locomotion. Jenkins has maintained an active field program in vertebrate paleontology, principally in Mesozoic deposits. Expeditions to the Fleming Fjord Formation of East Greenland have uncovered a diverse Late Triassic fauna of fish, termnospondyls, dinosaurs, aetosaurs, phytosaurs, pterosaurs, and mammals.
