The Department of Archaeology at the University of Cambridge seeks to appoint an Assistant Professor in Zooarchaeology. The successful candidate will be active in research and committed to teach in Archaeology and Archaeological Science, specifically zooarchaeology (including macro and micro-remains). We seek to recruit someone with a focus on prehistory (early European and/or broader global), with the expectation of a strong interest in relationships between animals and people and societies. We are looking for a forward-looking archaeological scientist and thinker who recognises that the past has relevance for addressing challenges relating to current and future societal and environmental change. We seek someone with an active engagement in both fieldwork and lab-based identification and macro-analysis, who complements and helps to integrate existing specialisms within the department and whose approach is broad, theoretically informed and interdisciplinary. The appointed candidate will have oversight of some of the Department's extensive reference collections, and will be expected to be active in management of some of the Department's outstanding suite of laboratories.
