You will be hired for the project “Understanding Past Ecosystems to Build a More Resilient Future” funded by the Eudaimonia Institute Spearhead Project at the University of Oulu. The project investigates how tectonics, volcanism, and landscape evolution shaped mammalian and hominin ecosystems during the Late Neogene (12–2.5 million years ago). It focuses on the Central Anatolian Volcanic Province (CAVP) in Türkiye - a region with exceptional geological and fossil records offering unique opportunities to study long-term ecological and evolutionary processes. Through the integration of paleontological, geological, geochemical, and biological data, the project aims to uncover how Earth’s systems, climate, and life have interacted over millions of years, providing a deep-time perspective on faunal evolution under changing climatic and environmental conditions. The doctoral researcher will investigate fossil mammal assemblages (both large and small mammals) from Neogene and Quaternary paleontological sites in Türkiye, focusing on the Central Anatolian Volcanic Province.
