The Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig (Germany)
invites applications for a post-doctoral fellowship in Zooarchaeology at the
Department of Human Evolution. Within a multidisciplinary environment, the
department is dedicated to Palaeoanthropology in a broad meaning, with three

Palaeolithic archeologists and archaeological scientists/geochronologists.

The position is a research-only post, with no teaching obligations. The
department will provide substantial support in a highly stimulating
environment, and we expect the successful candidate to contribute to the
research of the group as a whole, as well as to undertake high quality
original research in his/her specific field.
We are especially, but not exclusively, interested in candidates with
innovative approaches, who would participate in our current fieldwork and
research projects on:
