Department of Archaeology, University of Cambridge
Stipend: £14,489 p.a.
Vacancy Reference No: JC06519
Limit of tenure applies*
Applications are invited for a three-year PhD studentship, to contribute to an
international project directed by Professor Graeme Barker entitled “Cultural
transformations and environmental transitions in North African prehistory”
funded by the European Research Council. The project is investigating the
relationship between environment and human settlement over the past 200,000
years, combining the excavation of the Haua Fteah cave in Cyrenaica, northeast
Libya, with geoarchaeological and archaeological survey in the region. The
studentship is to focus especially on small mammals and microfauna from old and
new excavations, as a contribution to a suite of studies being undertaken by
members of the project team (e.g. geomorphology, micromorphology, palynology,
isotope studies of bones and shells) on the local environment at the Haua Fteah
and indicators of wider trends in climate and landscape change in which human
life was situated. The studentship, to start 1 October 2010, is open to home
and EU students. Further Particulars may be obtained from Ms Sara Harrop,
McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research (tel. 44 1223 339284; email:
[log in to unmask]). Closing date: Friday 14 May.
Limit of tenure: 3 years (until 30 Sept 2013)
