We develop ATLAS, a dedicated tool to conduct bioinformatic analyses from raw-sequence data to population genomics. We seek a highly motivated PhD student to extend the machine learning models of ATLAS that are used for genotyping, in particular regarding post-mortem damage and recalibration, and ...
A four-year PhD studentship is available in the Genetics Dept, Trinity College Dublin, to study the ancient genomics of sheep. The third Millennium BC was a period of extreme flux in Europe, with massive inward human migrations from the Eurasian Steppe. Whether ancient animal genomes accompanied ...
This PhD project focuses on the vulnerability, resilience and adaptive capacities of Arctic societies to global change. The main objective of this project is to document the spatial and temporal evolution of the relationships between human societies and their environments, in Arctic and ...
This four-year PhD position is based at the Computer Science department of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, within the framework of the NWA project “Pressing Matter. Ownership, Value and the Question of Colonial Heritage in Museums” a collaborative, interdisciplinary project that responds to the ...
Seeking a highly motivated candidate with interdisciplinary interests in climate modelling and archaeology to conduct an innovative PhD, researching coastal morphodynamic and drift modelling within the Dampier Archipelago. The project will involve reconstructed/modelled wind, wave and tidal ...
The Arctic is one of Earth’s most fragile ecosystems, and the scale of change taking place in the Arctic marine environment due to rises in temperature and loss of sea ice cover is overwhelming. The PhD fellowship will integrate palaeogenomics, palaeoecology, and palaeoclimatology to elucidate ...
Central Asia is a key route for ancient human expansion out of Africa with early human migrants leaving behind stone tools in thick wind-blown dust (loess) deposits in Tajikistan, deposited over the last 2-3 million years. However, much remains unknown about the timing and environmental context ...
The PhD will document the local traditions of ceramic and plaster manufacture and use at a single large well-polished occupation site in a poorly studied corner of the Aegean, assessing of the relative influences from neighboring Anatolia and the Balkans. The successful candidates will be based ...
