Junior Scientist Position in Luminescence Dating

Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology
Leipzig, Germany

The Department of Human Evolution of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig (Germany), invites applications for a post-doctoral position in luminescence dating. In the Department, palaeoanthropological research is conducted within a multidisciplinary environment involving groups of scientists including biological anthropologists, Palaeolithic archaeologists, archaeological scientists, and geochronologists. Luminescence dating forms a significant component of the geochronology group (integrating radiocarbon, U-series and luminescence dating) with a well-equipped laboratory. More information about the Department and the luminescence lab can be found on our web site.

This research position may begin immediately. The initial length of the appointment is two years, with an option for extension up to five years. The selected candidate will have a Ph.D. (or be close to completion) and a significant track record of research. The Max Planck Society is committed to employing more physically impaired individuals and to increasing the share of women in areas where they are underrepresented, and therefore expressly encourages applications from such qualified individuals.

For further information please contact Prof. Jean-Jacques Hublin (<a href="mailto:hublin@eva.mpg.de">hublin@eva.mpg.de</a>). Applications must be made through our website and must include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, reprints of selected publications, a short statement of research interests, and the names of three. Review of the applications will begin June 1st.
