Postdoctoral Research Assistant – Aquatic Environments

Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art

Grade 7: £29,541 per annum

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral candidate to join a multidisciplinary team under the supervision of Prof. Michael Petraglia on a project funded by the European Research Council investigating past environmental change and demographic history in the Arabian Peninsula.

The Postdoctoral Research Assistant will provide essential and specialist experience in reconstructing aquatic environments.  The overall objective is to understand the environmental history of the Arabian Desert in the Pleistocene and Holocene, and to ultimately relate this information to how human populations in the region adapted to fluctuating environments over time.

They must be self-motivated, have excellent organisational skills, demonstrate a willingness to share results with other team members and co-author research findings, and have previous experience of aquatic environments in the field.

Informal enquiries are encouraged and can be made to Prof. Michael Petraglia (email: michael.petraglia@rlaha.ox.ac.uk).

This post is for 24 months, part of which will be spent in the Arabian Peninsula.

Only applications received before midday on Friday 26 July 2013 will be considered. You will be required to complete an application form and submit a covering letter with a CV. Interviews will be held in early September, with a proposed start date of early November.
