The Catalan Institute of Classical Archaeology (ICAC) and the Institute of Evolutionary Sciences of Montpellier (ISEM) invite applications for a 4-year fully funded PhD position focused on Mediterranean Holocene palaeoenvironments. The successful candidate will join the MEDLANDS project (Genesis of transmediterranean cultural landscapes), reconstructing Holocene landscapes in coastal Thrace, Greece, through multi-proxy palaeoecological analysis (pollen, non-pollen palynomorphs, microcharcoal) of sedimentary records. This research will integrate palaeoecological data with archaeological and geoarchaeological evidence to explore vegetation and landscape changes linked to prehistoric and colonial settlement dynamics, particularly near the ancient Greek colony of Abdera, offering insights into the shaping of urban and peri-urban landscapes.
