Applications are invited for a Research Associate post available initially for 3 years to start as soon as possible, working on the European Research Council funded UP-NORTH project led by Dr Rhiannon Stevens at the UCL Institute of Archaeology.

The post-holder will work as part of a team to examine the relationship between climates, human dispersal, technological diversification and development at this time. They will be responsible for co-ordinating and overseeing the radiocarbon dating component of the UP-NORTH project and will work closely with the PI and UP-NORTH collaborator Prof. T. Higham at the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit, University of Oxford, to select and analyse suitable samples for AMS dating. The post-holder will undertake Bayesian modelling of the results.

The post-holder will collaborate closely with colleagues undertaking isotope and DNA analyses, undertake collaborative assessment and analysis of results, and disseminate the project findings through conference presentations, peer-reviewed publications and other relevant media.
