Applications are sought for a Research Fellow with excellent knowledge of bioarchaeology and skeletal collections in African museums to join the Leverhulme Trust project The Cultural Cost of Development. This is the first project to offer a long-term analysis of development impacts on archaeology while probing the real-time decision-making processes behind them. The post-holder will work closely with the PI, Rachel King and project Co-I, Keneiloe Molopyane (University of the Witwatersrand) to compile and analyse records of South African museum collections that have accessioned pre-colonial human remains exhumed during development projects. They will undertake research using open access data from the project database according to project objectives and compile records of relevant skeletal collections from South African museums including, but not limited to, Iziko, the National Cultural History Museum, and Albany Museum.
