Fwd: **DEADLINE EXTENDED** Fully-funded PhD scholarships in Geoarchaeology at Flinders University
Geoarchaeology IAG
**DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 15 MARCH 2019**
Dear Colleagues,
Apologies for cross-posting. PLEASE CIRCULATE TO YOUR BEST ARCHAEOLOGICAL SCIENCE STUDENTS!
I am pleased to announce 2 fully-funded (fee waiver and living stipend) PhD scholarships in Geoarchaeology to work on an Australian Research Council (ARC) project at Flinders University Archaeology. The doctoral candidates will be integral to a 4-year project examining environmental drivers of human (and hominin) dispersals into and out of Southeast Asia during the Late Pleistocene (MIS 5–2). The research will involve fieldwork at various sites across Southeast Asia, examining stratigraphic sequences both at cave and open-air sites. The primary aim of the project will be to generate data enabling the reconstruction of environment change occurring on-site and in the local catchment, and correlating these data with periods of site occupation and abandonment.
Applications are welcomed and encouraged from international applicants, especially those from countries in Southeast Asia.
Candidates will be encouraged to employ a range of geoarchaeological techniques suited to their particular skills and experience, but there will be emphasis on analysing sediments and stratigraphy at the micro-scale (e.g., micromorphology/microstratigraphy, spatially-constrained geochemical and elemental mapping, plant biomarkers, stable isotopes).
The positions will start in ~mid 2019 (timing is flexible) and the deadline for applications is NOW 15 March 2019.
Please see official website for more details (http://bit.ly/2Sg2jye).
Please feel free to circulate this announcement to any students, colleagues, mail-servers etc.
Cheers,
Mike
