The candidate will work in association with the H2020 funded ERC synergy project: 4-Oceans: Human History of Marine Life: Extraction, Knowledge, Drivers & Consumption of Marine Resources, c.100 BCE to c.1860 CE, with partners in Ireland, Portugal, Norway, the UK and globally. The project investigates the role of marine harvests in global history. The Postdoctoral fellow will join an international team combining expertise in marine environmental history, climate history, natural history, geography, historical ecology, genomics and zooarchaeology. Specifically, the role of this position is to investigate the consequences of marine exploitation in a range of key taxonomic groups (including marine mammals and fish) using ancient DNA obtained from archaeological specimens and museum collections. These data will be interpreted in a multi-proxy framework including isotope data and zooarchaeological evidence. The candidate will closely collaborate with PhD/MSc candidates on the same project and other (inter)national partners.
