The post holder will work as part of the UKRI Frontier Research funded project LHEAAPS- Landscape Historical Ecology and Archaeology of African Pastoral Societies in Kenya led by Professor Paul Lane (University of Cambridge). The post holder is expected to work in multiple locations, with the main base at the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research in Cambridge but also including research trips and data collection in Kenya. Key responsibilities will include the documentation and analysis of Pastoral Iron Age settlement systems, diets, and/or mobility patterns in northern and central Kenya using a combination of archaeological, geoarchaeological, bioarchaeological, ethnohistorical and/or remote sensing research methods. The ability to work as part of a diverse team, sharing ideas and data, and a willingness to undertake and lead archaeological surveys and excavations are essential. Applications are particularly encouraged from individuals based in the region and early career researchers trained in at least one of these subfields: geoarchaeology; isotopic analyses; landscape archaeology and GIS; zooarchaeology; archaeological proteomics.
