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. Training in palaeoproteomics (especially ZooMS), radiocarbon dating and pretreatment chemistry will be given, but prior experience in any would be an advantage. The candidate will have the opportunity to organize local research teams and small-scale laboratory work for the in-situ analyses of material.
