The ‘Human Origins: Excellence Cluster of Integrative Human Origins Studies’ is a newly started Cluster of Excellence at the University of Tübingen. It focuses on the comprehensive, bio-cultural investigation of human evolution, to be examined through the integration of diverse disciplines, diachronically and at different scales throughout the last 5 million years of human evolution. The position is located at the Institute for Archaeological Sciences within the framework of the Ancient Biomolecule Central Laboratory of the Cluster of Excellence Human Origins. A sub-unit of this Central Laboratory generates biochemical, isotopic and paleoproteomic data from archaeological materials, including human and animal remains. Our research focuses on prehistoric human populations, the evolution of animals, and the change in ecosystems through time. For the analysis of ancient proteins, we use modern techniques of stable isotope biogeochemistry including single-compound analysis, as well as paleoproteomics. Applicants for this position should have a strong interest in questions from the fields of human evolution and archaeological sciences.
