The Center for the Human Past (CHP) is a pioneering initiative that unites the three research areas of archaeology, genetics, and linguistics. We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher in archaeology to contribute to the centers’ overarching goal of elucidating and understanding various aspects of human development over the past 10,000 years. The postdoctor will be employed by the Department for Archaeology and ancient history and associated with the Excellence Center for the Human Past. The postdoctoral researcher will work with computer-based analytical methods and large databases to develop theory and methodology for utilising aggregated data from archaeology, genetics, and linguistics, thereby advancing innovative interdisciplinary research on human development. Grounded in archaeological perspectives, the proposed postdoctoral project should shed light on various aspects of human prehistory at the interface of questions about culture, language, and genetic development. The postdoctoral researcher is free to develop a project idea within the centre's overarching theme and chronological framework, and we welcome project proposals based on material from Africa, Oceania, and Eurasia, or that draw on a combination of case studies from these regions.
