The position is part of the project Ecological Archaeologies of the Afrotropics (EcoArch), funded by the European Research Council. The appointed candidate will work within the overarching goal of the project EcoArch to disentangle the drivers of landscape and climate change in the Afrotropics since the introduction of domesticated food economies. The project will collect and analyse diverse types of data for the reconstruction of changes in climate, biodiversity and wildfires across different biomes and examine the role of human activities in shaping the landscape. The postdoctoral fellow will investigate palaeoecological changes using sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA), focusing on several key sites. The successful candidate will join fieldwork, generate and analyse sedaDNA metagenomic data, and prepare results for publication and dissemination. In addition to this postdoctoral fellowship we are filling three other positions to work in our group on the EcoArch project.
