The Department of World Archaeology, Faculty of Archaeology, Leiden University, is looking for a PhD Candidate in the field of Archaeological Science to join a project funded by the European Research Council (ERC) and carried out at the Faculty of Archaeology, Leiden University. The Faculty of Archaeology, Leiden University, seeks to appoint a full-time PhD candidate to carry out research at the thematic intersection of Paleolithic Archaeology and Anthropology. The PhD candidate will be supervised by Dr Wei Chu (PI), Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Archaeology, Leiden University. The PhD candidate’s research is part of the ERC-funded Consolidator grant: HOME: Palaeolithic shelters in East-Central Europe. The HOME project is divided into four interconnected Work Packages (WP): WP1: To investigate the diversity of forager shelters and establish the main factors that dictate their location and design. WP2: to locate remnants of Palaeolithic shelters and their associated furniture through a systematic open-air geomagnetic survey. WP3: to ascertain if and how one of the mammoth bone structures at the site was used as a shelter in the Late Pleistocene. WP4: will collect primary data on shelter use from karstic deposits. The successful candidate will be expected to lead WP1, under the supervision of the PI and in collaboration with other team members and make substantive contributions to Work Packages 2 and 3.
