The isoTROPIC Research Group at the Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology in Jena is research centre focused on using insights about the history of our species from across the global tropics to help practically inform conservation concerns and planning in the present. The successful candidate will play a central role in the project and its outputs. They will be responsible for integrating multidisciplinary (including archaeology-, history-, and palaeoenvironmental-based) models of past human land-use into earth systems models to determine the degree to which changes in human activities and land organisation in pre-industrial time periods may have influenced soil erosion, precipitation, temperature, and even the composition of the atmosphere. The candidate will work in a leading global centre for deep time earth systems research at the MPI of Geoanthropology, an Institute combining archaeological, anthropological, geochemical, and earth systems expertise in field and laboratory methodologies.
