The University is seeking to appoint a talented, enthusiastic, and motivated Postdoctoral Researcher in Archaeological Modelling to work in the Institute for the Modelling of Socio-Environmental Transitions (IMSET), under the AHRC/DFG-funded project “Comparative Legacies of Human Land Use in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest” (COMPLEG). Successful candidates will have opportunities working in a broad interdisciplinary research team, gaining experience in interdisciplinary computational methods, research project management, and developing international recognised research careers. This position aims at developing an atlas of human impact in one of the most heavily degraded tropical forests, focusing on the combined effects of demography and land use across several major societal and environmental transitions. Building on IMSET’s research expertise in computational modelling, environmental archaeology, and simulation, the goal of this research is also to enhance the uptake and use of “palaeosocietal” data by allied and adjacent disciplines. This work will aim to contribute to interdisciplinary academic outputs, including climate modelling, environmental humanities, sustainable development initiatives, and conservation. The goal is to understand the interwoven ways humans have interacted with their environments through strongly data-driven approaches and to develop this into comparable, synthetic understandings of our collective ecological footprint.
