Hi, feel free to circulate the message below concerning the hiring of an environmental archaeologist (a specialization in palaeobotany or geoarchaeology is preferred) at Trent University.

Best,

The Department of Anthropology, Undergraduate Program in Archaeology, Anthropology Graduate Program, and the Trent University Archaeological Research Centre seek to compliment and build upon existing research and training through the appointment of a CRC in Environmental Archaeology. A candidate with a specialization in palaeobotany or geoarchaeology is preferred. While the temporal and regional focus is open, a scholar who has an active research program in the Americas is preferred. This is an interdisciplinary CRC with one foot solidly in the study of long-term social dynamics with the other firmly planted in specialized study of ecological systems; integrated into a position in which the type of knowledge created is enriched by both disciplinary traditions and leads to the development of new insight and understanding of the archaeological record.
