The appointed candidate will work within the overarching goal of the project Ecological Archaeologies of the Afrotropics (EcoArch) to disentangle the drivers of landscape and climate change in the Afrotropics since the introduction of domesticated food economies. Candidates should propose a research project that provides, in one form or another, an examination of landscape transformation in the Afrotropics since the advent of agriculture using faecal, fire and vegetation biomarkers and stable isotopes from sediments recovered from lakes or swamps as well as archaeological sites. The candidate will apply state-of-the-art laboratory analyses of biomarkers and substance-specific isotopes from dated lake and swamp cores from Africa and Arabia. Applicants are required to upload/attach a research proposal (hf.uio.no) stating how they intend to address the central research questions and offer theoretical and methodological approaches to attend to the project’s objectives.
