At the University Museum in Bergen, Department of Natural History, a full-time position as a postdoctoral research fellow in palaeobotany with specialization within pollen analysis, alternatively macrofossil analysis, is available. We are seeking a palaeobotanist, preferably a pollen analyst working within the Holocene Period, but a specialist in macrofossil analysis (archaeobotanist) may also be of interest. The appointed postdoc is expected to be competent with methods like quantitative analyses of pollen-based landscape reconstructions or sedDNA. The postdoc will be part of a paleoenvironmental research group, where main research interests centre around past human impact on vegetation and landscapes. The paleoenvironmental research group consist of palaeobotanists, archaeologists and palaeozoologists/osteologists. The successful applicant will work in close collaboration with three other palaeobotanists/archaeobotanists, externally financed and mainly connected to projects in accordance with The Cultural Heritage Act. The postdoc we seek will take active part in developing the palaeobotanical research at the University Museum, including research based on the collections. The successful applicant will take part in strengthening the interdisciplinary research collaboration at the University Museum, and in developing national and international research networks. It is expected that the postdoc will participate in developing external research grant applications. Duties relating to outreach activities, teaching, and curation of the collections may also be relevant.
