Applications are invited for Research Fellow in Spatial Modelling to support the ERC-awarded and UKRI-underwritten project DREAM: Discovering the (R)Evolution of Eurasian Metallurgy: Social and Environmental Impact of the Bronze Age Steppes Metal-Driven Economy. DREAM investigates how and why Bronze Age metallurgical production across the Eurasian Steppe scaled up to unprecedented levels between c. 3500 and 1000 BCE, and how these processes reshaped environments, economies, and long-distance connectivity. DREAM adopts an original interdisciplinary approach, integrating archaeology, geospatial science, archaeometallurgy, archaeobotany, materials science, environmental and earth sciences, complexity science, and artificial intelligence. Particular attention is given to production debris, especially metallurgical slag, as a key proxy for understanding the interactions between technology, environment, and society. Through the integration of diverse datasets, the project aims to produce high-resolution explanatory models for the organisation, development, and environmental impact of metallurgical systems across Eurasia.
