You will help analyse and interpret osteological, taphonomic, and osteobiographical information from fragmentary and co-mingled human remains deposited in diverse and atypical contexts during in first millennium CE Scandinavia and northern Europe.
The majority of primary analyses have now been conducted and sampling is underway. In collaboration with the PI, Dr Tollefsen, and team, you will be responsible for synthesizing and interrogating results of the archaeological, osteological and biomolecular analyses, particularly writing up research findings for publication.

There will be opportunities to seek experience in organisation of academic conferences and meetings, teaching and similar, in alignment with your own aspirations and availability of opportunities.
The successful candidate must expect some travel.
