The interdisciplinary ERC-Synergy project “EcoArch: Ecological archaeologies of the Afrotropics”, funded by the European Research Council H2020 scheme, seeks to understand the drivers of landscape change across the Afrotropics over the last 6000 years. The project will collect and analyse diverse types of data for the reconstruction of changes in climate, biodiversity and wildfires across different biomes and examine the role of human activities in shaping the landscape. The PhD fellow will analyse palaeoecological change using sedimentary ancient DNA, focusing on several key sites. The successful candidate will travel and join fieldwork in up to three of these locations, perform laboratory analyses together with a research technician, and perform the bioinformatic and statistical analyses of the genomic data.
