Project Overview

The fellowship is part of the Ecological Archaeologies of the Afrotropics (EcoArch) project, funded by the European Research Council (ERC Synergy Grant ). EcoArch aims to disentangle the drivers of landscape and climate change in the Afrotropics since the introduction of domesticated food economies.

Role and Responsibilities

Applicants will propose a research project that examines landscape transformation in the Afrotropics using high‑resolution, dated sediment cores from lakes or swamps and archaeological sites. The candidate will work with the Tandem Laboratory at the University of Uppsala to conduct state‑of‑the‑art dating analyses, compound‑specific isotope analyses (CSIA), and biomarker analyses.
