The NTNU University Museum is seeking a highly qualified and motivated candidate for a tenure-track associate professor position in Human Osteoarchaeology, with complementary expertise in stable isotope analysis of human skeletal remains. The position is central to broadening the Museum’s expertise in archaeological science and human-environment interactions, and to realizing the potential of our extensive collections of archaeological human skeletal remains deriving from prehistoric sites of Central Norway and the medieval town of Trondheim in comparative Eurasian and global context. The position is important for strengthening and internationalizing collection-based research at the Department of Archaeology and Cultural History, and activation of the collections as research infrastructure. The post will ultimately be part of the Departmental team responsible for the Museum’s archaeological collections. The successful candidate will carry out cutting edge primary research in Human Osteoarchaeology and associated isotopic analysis. They will work closely with members of the Department’s research group on Environmental Archaeology, and with the chronology-focused research groups From Foragers to Farmers and Iron Age to Historical Archaeology. The post-holder will also cooperate extensively with the National Laboratory for Age Determination (with facilities for sample preparation, radiocarbon dating, isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS), dendrochronology and dendroclimatology) and with the Holomuseomics research group of the Department of Natural History (where ancient DNA research is conducted).
