Applications are now being sought for a Research Fellow to join the Leverhulme project “PALAEOTHAW: Unlocking records of past permafrost thaw through isotopes of fossil bones”. The project is based at UCL’s Institute of Archaeology with collaborating institutes including University of Leed’s School of Earth and Environment (Co-I Prof Simon Bottrell) and University of Sussex’s School of Global Studies (Co-I Prof Julian Murton). We are seeking a Research Fellow with expertise in Archaeological/Palaeoenvironmental Science and/or Isotope Biogeochemistry to join the project team at the UCL Institute of Archaeology. The post-holder will work closely with the PI and will have responsibility related to both project strands. The post-holder will also be expected to undertake a 2-3 week European field season to collect paleoenvironmental samples, under the supervise of Co-I’s Simon Bottrell and Julian Murton. Work will include analysis and interpretation of the data generated from the modern environmental samples, and collection, laboratory analysis, and data interpretation of the faunal δ34S data. The post holder will be responsible for the integration and interpretation of project results in relation to wider palaeoclimatic and environmental data, and will lead on/contribute to the writing and preparation of articles, presentations and other project outputs. The successful candidate will have a PhD in Archaeological/Palaeoenvironmental science, Isotope Biogeochemistry, or a closely related discipline. They will have a proven ability to undertake research of the highest quality, with a strong publication record for career stage. They will also have experience in working in a laboratory environment and demonstratable knowledge of stable isotope analysis.
