The Department of Archaeology seeks to appoint a full time, permanent Palaeoanthropology Research Laboratory Technician. This post is based in the Henry Wellcome Building (HWB) on Fitzwilliam Street. The HWB houses the Palaeoanthropology Laboratory and the Duckworth Laboratory, both state of the art facilities supporting international level research. Both laboratories are devoted to research into human and non-human primate evolutionary studies as well as wider archaeological research through a variety of methods. The duties of the role holder include technical support for research and teaching in osteology and palaeoanthropology. The role holder will work in both the Palaeoanthropology Laboratory and the Duckworth Laboratory. The work will be primarily, but not exclusively, on osteological material, using morphometric and photogrammetric techniques, microscopy, 3D scanning and printing, mCT scanning, and destructive biological and chemical sampling procedures. The post holder will provide technical support for the Director and Collections Manager of the Duckworth Laboratory, for visiting and in-house researchers working with material in the Duckworth Laboratory, as well as supporting the Collections Manager in curatorial and conservation work on the collections. They will be expected to attend and contribute to weekly Palaeolab and Duckworth group meetings as well as less frequent technician support meetings.
