A PhD position is to be filled in the project: Genomic Investigation of Inhabitants of the Ancient City Thessaloniki in Greece. Within the framework of a project funded by the European Union, the genetic history of the ancient Greek city of Thessaloniki is being investigated. The main aim of this doctoral thesis is to reconstruct the historical development of this city based on the genetics of its inhabitants. Through palaeogenetic analyses of archaeological skeletons, insights into social structures, mobility, migration, and kinship relationships will be gained. The palaeogenetic research group at Johannes Gutenberg University (JGU) is an internationally recognized anthropological research team that investigates biological and evolutionary aspects of key events in human history based on genomes. We are seeking applicants with backgrounds in molecular biology, anthropology, or forensics, who enjoy laboratory work and may also have an interest in history and archaeology.
