The preferred candidate should have carried out long-term research in human Plio-Pleistocene evolution. Well documented expertise in the analysis of the human and primate fossil record and quantitative analyt-ical skills (including, but not limited to virtual anthropology, histological or modelling approaches) are expected. Long-term participation and / or leadership in fieldwork is desired. Potential research directions to be considered include ontogenetic and life history perspectives on human evolution; locomotor adaptations; and / or environmental influences on human evolution. The position will be responsible for the Paleoanthropology curriculum in Human Evolution at the bachelor and master levels, including teaching of lecture and laboratory courses (e.g. Introduction to the Human Fossil Record, Evolution of Human Biolo-gy and Behavior, Research Design, Evolutionary Theory). The position has a teaching load of nine hours per week during the semester. The successful candidate will be expected to complement existing strengths in the Paleoanthropology working group and to develop new collaborative research avenues.

The University of Copenhagen seeks to appoint four senior researchers to the Globe Institute at the Department of Health and Medical Sciences within our ArchaeoScience core facility. The positions include working as zooarchaeologist, biological anthropologist (human osteology), geoarchaeologist or geophysicist for the ArchaeoScience Unit, which advises and carries out scientific analysis for the archaeological museums. Furthermore, the positions include a research component on Near Eastern, Danish and Greenlandic zoo-, geo-archaeology, geo-chemistry or biological and forensic anthropology. The right applicants therefore have a strong track-record in the analysis and publication of human or faunal remains, or characterization of deposits including macrofossils and element scanning. Applicants also must carry out research and contribute to published and unpublished reports on materials from Denmark and Greenland. Persons appointed to the position will partly analyse various human and faunal remains from excavations connected with contract archaeology as well as analysis for various research projects. The successful candidate must demonstrate a commitment to continue the work of the ArchaeoScience Unit, as well as develop a personal research profile.

Zooarchaeology is an essential part of research and teaching at Groningen Institute of Archaeology. A large skeletal reference collection, fully functioning maceration lab, an x-ray machine, microscopes, collagen preparation facilities are available for research. The collections are open to third parties (e.g. commercial zooarchaeologists). Research activities focus on the Holocene with a cross-regional approach that spans from the northern Netherlands to Sri Lanka focusing on the impact of human social systems on ecosystem roles of fauna. Recent research projects includes SeaChanges International Marie-Curie network, NWO Emergence of Animal Husbandry in the Netherlands project, Gordion Archaeological Project, Kerkenes Archaeological Project, among others. The main tasks within the function are: analyzing faunal remains in Groningen and abroad during fieldwork (e.g. in the Middle East); sampling zooarchaeological remains for destructive analysis (e.g. stable isotope analysis); extracting collagen for instrumental analyses (e.g. zooarchaeology by mass spectrometry); supporting and organizing teaching and training activities in zooarchaeology; physical and digital care and development of the collections, laboratory space, and the maceration unit; maceration of animal carcasses using existing facilities.

The School of Archaeology is looking to recruit a Chemistry Technician to join our small and friendly team in The Research Laboratory for Archaeology -Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit (ORAU), based in the centre of Oxford. The lab provides about 2,000 radiocarbon dates each year for our own research and for collaborators across archaeological, environmental and forensic sciences. This post is a fixed-term contract for 3 years with possibility to be renewed, depending on funding. It is a full-time position. Reporting to the Lab Manager, you will mainly work on samples submitted to the laboratory as part of collaborations and commercial contracts but work may also include some method development and research. Much of the material you will be working on is irreplaceable and so the work needs to be carried out methodically and with a suitable sense of responsibility. You will be able to cope with repetitive tasks on a daily / weekly basis in a timely manner.
