We are seeking candidates with an excellent track record and the potential to establish an internationally visible research group in Evolutionary Paleoanthropology. The research and teaching of the future professor is intended to focus on early hominin evolution, origins and expansions of Homo sapiens, interactions between Homo sapiens and other hominin species, ecological adaptations and adaptive history of hominin species, or language and brain evolution. Expertise in one or more quantitative methods relevant for the respective field, for example imaging (e.g., CT-scanning) and digital fossil reconstruction; paleo-ecological reconstructions, ancient genomics and proteomics, primate models of early hominin behaviour and evolution, cross species comparisons, machine learning, or computer simulations, amongst others, are highly desirable. Expecting a combination of field research and quantitative methods to substantiate theoretical advancements, this position offers broad development opportunities for the future faculty member.
