Role
This fixed term, 2-year full time Grade 4 appointment will work across two projects in the Department of Archaeology, one attached to BioArCh and one attached to the Heritage for Global Challenges Research Centre. We are seeking a technician to support two projects on culinary archaeology: Unlocking culinary records from prehistoric Britain through the analysis of charred food remains (AHRC-funded), which will explore culinary patterns across the Neolithic and Bronze age Britain, and Climate change mitigation strategies for food security in northeast India (Australian Research Council Discovery-funded), which will investigate deep time culinary trends in NE-India in order to propose contemporary food security recommendations. Both projects will explore questions of culinary practices in the past, generating data from lipid residues on ceramics and food crusts, and investigating the plant contribution to diet through palaeobotanical techniques (SEM, starch and phytolith analysis). The successful applicant will work closely with project team members, Dr Lara Gonzalez Carretero (line manager), Dr Hayley Saul and Professor Oliver Craig. Applicants with competencies in the use of laboratories for bioarchaeological research, including where possible specific experience of lipid residue analysis, starch and phytolith analysis and microscope work, are invited to apply.
