We seek to appoint a two-year postdoctoral research fellow (PDR) responsible for the archaeological study of North Atlantic marine fisheries over the last two millennia, with a particular emphasis on cod and herring. More specifically, the successful applicant will expand our understanding of North Atlantic fisheries by synthesis of published and public domain zooarchaeological data, especially from eastern North America. Focused comparison with existing research regarding European and Pacific Ocean fisheries will also be conducted. The successful applicant will: join a growing interdisciplinary team studying human impacts on key marine taxa globally over the last two millennia; lead their own study of especially zooarchaeological data, within the overall goals of the 4-OCEANS project; collaborate with project team members specializing in ancient DNA, data science, stable isotope analysis, geometric and traditional morphometrics, zooarchaeology and environmental history.
