This project combines the study of changing technologies of the body (the change from single, contracted, unfurnished inhumations to multiple, richly furnished and adorned burials, accompanied by the commingling of earlier remains) with changing technologies of grave construction (the change from ...

Thanks to the advances in ancient genome recovery, we are in the position to shed light on the dynamics of past disease epidemics by deciphering the “footprint” that past disease outbreaks left on pathogen genomes. Understanding the origins and demographic dynamics of ancient pathogens may ...

Central Asia is a key route for ancient human expansion out of Africa, with early human migrants leaving behind stone tools in thick wind-blown dust (loess) deposits in Tajikistan, deposited over the last 2-3 million years. However, much remains unknown about the timing and environmental ...

The research groups Antwerp Cultural Heritage Sciences (ARCHES) and Antwerp X-ray analysis, Electrochemistry and Speciation group (AXES) of the UAntwerpen are looking for a joint full-time (100%) doctoral candidate in the interdisciplinary field of Conservation-Restoration (C-R) and Science ...

The characterization of decadal to multi-decadal variations in the hydrological cycle on a regional scale is highly relevant to societies in the Middle East, a region where water is a scarce resource. Instrumental records are generally too short to capture the full range of rainfall variability ...

At The Arctic University Museum (UM) a position is available for a Postdoctoral Fellow in microRNA- and single cell transcriptomics. The position is affiliated with the research group "MIRevolution - the reversibility of microRNA evolution and canalization as drivers of organismic evolution" ...

Join our Research team as a geologist or geophysicist for the FWO SBO project “TESTEREP” (TEsterep REconstructed for Policy making and Public engagement), which aims to reconstruct and map the evolution of part of the Flemish Seascape since c. 5000 BP. You will perform research on the offshore ...

Several dramatic changes in climate and environment during prehistoric time have been detected in tree-ring data and archaeological records. Despite ever improving methods for palaeoclimatic and archaeological studies, the exact timing, causes and effects of many extreme events are poorly known ...

Les dynamiques évolutives des populations humaines et les possibles métissages à l'œuvre au Pléistocène récent en Eurasie occidentale sont discutés grâce aux données archéologiques, phénotypiques et génétiques. En particulier, des débats importants persistent quant aux modalités de la transition ...
