The Faculty of Science at the University of Turku invites applications for Assistant Professor or Associate Professor of Archaeogenomics. The aim of the professorship is to strengthen the multidisciplinary research, teaching and societal interaction within our Human Diversity research consortium, funded by the Profi7 program of the Research Council of Finland. The central questions of the consortium are how human contacts and communication networks have produced the past and current human diversity, and what it will be like in the future. A professor conducts and supervises scientific research, provides teaching based on it, and supervises theses and postdoctoral researchers. He/she follows the development of science and participates in societal interaction and international cooperation in his/her field. A professor is expected to form and lead an independent research group, collaborate with other research groups, and obtain domestic and international research funding. In addition, he/she is expected to participate in the university administration tasks assigned to him/her. As part of the Human Diversity research consortium, the Professor participates in research on past, current and future human diversity and communication and contact networks, enabling openings, comparisons and consolidation between different disciplines. She/ he participates in developing digital materials at the University of Turku especially in the research fields represented by the Human Diversity Consortium, such as evolutionary biology, demography, health science, disease history, linguistics, human genetics, history and archaeology. In his or her own field, the professor is also responsible for the promotion of the interdisciplinary use of these data.
