The Department of Coevolution of Land Use and Urbanization and the “PANTROPOCENE: Finding a Pre-industrial Anthropocene Project”, Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology, Jena, Germany is pleased to announce a new vacancy for a Research Fellowship position in the characterization of prehistoric and historic land-use and its use in dynamic Earth system modelling. The successful candidate will play a central role in the project and its outputs. They will be responsible for integrating multidisciplinary (including archaeology-, history-, and palaeoenvironmental-based) models of past human land use into Earth system models to determine the degree to which changes in human activities and land organisation in pre-industrial time periods may have influenced soil erosion, precipitation, temperature, and even the composition of the atmosphere. The candidate will work in a leading global centre for deep time and contemporary earth systems research at the Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology, an Institute combining archaeological, anthropological, geochemical, and Earth system expertise in field and laboratory methodologies. They will also work closely with key project partners and will be expected to also work within the framework of ongoing international research initiatives to ensure maximum reach of results.
