Postdoctoral Position in Ancient Genomics and Material Culture Analysis
2 weeks ago
Aarhus University's Bioinformatics Research Centre invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher position in population genomics related to Palaeolithic gene-culture coevolution. This is a 2.5-year full-time position from March 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter.
Job OverviewThe research group of Mikkel Heide Schierup at the Bioinformatics Research Centre at Aarhus University aims to combine population genomics and material culture analysis on human paleolithic material to study gene-culture coevolution in the European Late Upper Palaeolithic (~20,000-11,000 years BP). The successful applicant will participate in project activities related to gene-culture co-evolutionary theory, data collection and analysis, and collaborate closely with the project's other postdoc, the two PIs, and colleagues.
Research ContextThis data-driven project is led by two PIs – population geneticist Mikkel Schierup and archaeologist Felix Riede – and establishes interdisciplinary collaboration between archaeologists and bioinformaticians to create the first integrated workflow for reconstructing gene-culture coevolution using co-phylogenetic methods applied in parallel to material culture data and ancient DNA.
Key Responsibilities- Curation and imputation of publicly available samples with genomewide sequence or genotype data from the upper paleolithic (25,000-10,000 years before present)
- Methods development for inference on population history, inbreeding, and relatedness from single genomes
- Methods development for joint quantitative analyses of material culture and population history using phylogenetic principles in close collaboration with the archaeological domain postdoc.
- Development of cophylogenetic methods that link archaeological and palaeogenomic data in a single workflow
- Closely collaborate with COEVOLVE project members at AU
- Attend and actively participate in in-person project meetings, including project travel.
Applicants must hold a PhD degree in evolutionary genetics, population genetics, or a related field. Applicants are asked to submit a cover letter, CV, list of publications, and up to three relevant publications.
