As part of the NG'IPALAJEM ERC team, the successful candidate will contribute to both project-wide and role-specific tasks. In terms of the project, they will assist the PI in the implementation of the project's research, communication and scientific strategy; in relation to role-specific responsibilities, they will be expected to (1) participate in the project's fieldwork in Turkana and post-excavation seasons of work in Kenya, (2) work with the PI describing and analysing new hominin remains from Turkana, (3) contribute to building a collection of 3D models of all palaeoanthropological remains from these localities; (4) carry out comparisons to relevant human and hominin fossils in museum collections, including in the context of late Early Pleistocene Homo and the last paranthropines, and (5) work with the PI and other project members towards meta-analyses that contribute to our understanding of hominin diversity prior to the origins of modern humans.
