Does this sound like you? Then join our accomplished team! Your personal sphere of influence: The Department of Evolutionary Anthropology at the Faculty of Life Sciences seeks to appoint a pre-doctoral researcher with expertise in archaeology/archaeological science and to work with Associate Professor Katerina Douka (https://doukalab.univie.ac.at/) on a research project supported by the European Research Council. They will be part of a leading international team of researchers in the department working across the fields of Human Evolution, Ancient DNA and Archaeological Science. This is a non-renewable 3-year position. The RIFT-TO-RIM Project The ERC-funded RIFT-TO-RIM Consolidator project (2025-2030) aims to fill the gaps in understanding the pathways of modern human dispersals from Africa into Eurasia, and ultimately to Sahul, by ~60,000 years ago. One of the project's principal objectives is the discovery and analysis of new modern human fossils from under-researched parts of the world, such as sites in East and South Africa. State-of-the-art biomolecular techniques, including palaeoproteomics, chronometric and isotopic methods, and to a lesser extent aDNA, will be used to screen and analyse fragmentary bones and sediments from archaeological sites. The material will be collected from several archaeological locations in five countries (South Africa, Lesotho, Namibia, Kenya, Ethiopia) dating to between 200,000 and 10,000 years ago. Your future tasks: The candidate will work on developing and applying improved methodologies for palaeoproteomic analyses of bones, teeth and sediments from Middle and Later Stone Age sites in Africa. In addition, they will, where appropriate, apply other scientific methods including radiocarbon dating, stable isotope geochemistry and ancient genomics, to answer questions relating to the presence of modern humans at each site. The position would suit someone motivated to undertake cutting-edge research into aspects of modern human evolution, who has direct experience in prehistoric archaeology, as well as in areas of zooarchaeology and/or biomolecular archaeology. Experience in fieldwork or work in museum settings, is highly desirable.
