The program provides opportunities to participate in ongoing osteological, bioarchaeological, and forensic anthropological research at JPAC/CIL. Under the guidance of mentors, participants will have the opportunity to travel to locations of former U.S. military involvement, conduct archaeological excavations to recover human remains, and attempt to identify the remains in a laboratory environment.

Both post-doctoral and post-master's appointments are available. Program participants must have previous experience supervising archaeological fieldwork and conducting osteological analysis. They should have received the Ph.D., M.A., or M.S. degree in physical anthropology, forensic anthropology, bioarchaeology, zooarchaeology (with experience in human osteology), or a related field within five years of the desired starting date for post-doctoral candidates, or within three years of the desired starting date for post-master’s candidates.

The rigors of JPAC fieldwork require that participants be physically able to withstand harsh field environments for extended periods of time. Otherwise, the program is open to all qualified U.S. citizens; without regard to race, sex, religion, color, age, physical or mental disability, national origin, or status as a Vietnam era or disabled veteran.

Participants will be selected based on relevant supervisory archaeological fieldwork, osteological lab experience, academic records, recommendations, applied research interests, compatibility of background and interests with the JPAC mission, and availability of funds. Appointments are for one year and may be renewed for up to two additional years (post-master's) or four additional years (post-doctoral only) upon recommendation of JPAC and subject to availability of funds. The appointments are full time at the host installation in Hawaii.

Stipends will be approximately $72,000 per year for a post-doctoral appointment and approximately $60,000 per year for a post-master's appointment.

Preference will be given to applicants with a strong foundation and demonstrated proficiency in the ability to research, collect, catalogue, and analyze relevant historical data from primary, secondary, and other sources. DPMO expects candidates to be skilled at extracting key information from source documents and writing succinctly under deadline for diverse audiences.

Penn State: craniofacial development and anatomy, morphometrics, image analysis, developmental genetics

Position: Post doctoral associate
Focus: craniofacial development and anatomy, morphometrics, image analysis, developmental genetics

We are looking for excellent post doctoral researchers to work on a large collaborative project concerning the genetics of craniosynostosis and normal craniofacial development. The project, funded by the National Institutes of Craniofacial and Dental Research of NIH, seeks to understand the developmental basis of craniosynostosis and shed light on the interaction of skeletal and neural tissue in the development and evolution of neurocranial shape. The data needed to obtain our stated goals require the collection of landmark coordinate data from large samples of micro-computed tomography (CT) scans of embryonic mouse skulls with known genetic mutations and micro-magnetic resonance images of their brains. The post doctoral associate will be responsible for the collection of the cranial data sets from the micro-CT images, but will be involved in other aspects of the project including the collection of alternate skeletal data sets, the study of embryonic neural development, quantitative analysis of morphological and genetic data, meetings among collaborators, manuscript preparation, and further grant writing. Experience and interest in developmental biology and genetics, image analysis, craniofacial anatomy, or molecular laboratory methods is desired, but not required. We are looking for some one deeply interested in applying modern technologies and methods to the understanding of the developmental processes involved in the production of craniosynostosis as well as craniofacial evolution. Applicants should send a current curriculum vita, a statement of research interest and experience, and a list of three references to Joan Richtsmeier via email: jta10@psu.edu. Earliest start date: April 1, 2008. Institution: The Pennsylvania State University (hotlink: http://www.psu.edu/) Location: State College, PA (hotlink http://www.statecollege.com/).

The scholarship is for a period of 3 years and must be filled as soon as possible (applications required by 15 February 2008). Salary will be around 268,000 Danish kroner per year, before tax and deductions.

This project will contribute to understanding the timing and forcing mechanisms of the migration of modern humans (Homo sapiens) and earlier hominins from Africa across southern Asia and into Australasia. The Ph.D student will be part of an international team of geochronologists, archaeologists and palaeoecologists that is currently investigating key archaeological and palaeofaunal sites in continental southern Asia (India and peninsula Malaysia) and island Southeast Asia (the Philippines and Indonesia). The student will be primarily responsible for providing a robust chronological framework for the most critical archaeological and palaeontological sites, to enable the turning points in faunal evolution and hominin dispersal to be placed in their correct temporal sequence. The overall aim is to combine results from two complementary numerical-age dating methods (40Ar/39Ar and optically stimulated luminescence, OSL) with archaeological and faunal data to reconstruct the timing and routes of dispersal of hominins around the rim of the Indian Ocean, and to document the contemporaneous ecological changes in these regions and the nature of human–environment interactions. The temporal focus will be the Middle and Late Pleistocene stages (~800 to 10 ka ago), which are accessible to both Ar/Ar and OSL dating.

The Ar/Ar work will be carried out under the supervision of Dr Michael Storey in the Quaternary Dating Laboratory (www.QuadLab.dk) at Roskilde University (Denmark), which is equipped with a state-of-the-art multi-collector noble gas mass-spectrometer. OSL dating will be carried out in the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Wollongong (Australia), in collaboration with Prof. Richard ‘Bert’ Roberts. Full training will be given in field and geochronological methods.

The application should include a vision statement of 4–6 pages, a time plan, copies of educational certificates, and curriculum vitae. Letters of recommendation may also be submitted. Further information can be obtained by contacting Michael Storey by phone at +45 4674 2308 or by email at storey@ruc.dk

Applications should be submitted as 5 printed copies (electronic copies are not acceptable) to:

Ph.D. Secretary, Hanna Pihl
GESS
Department of Environmental, Social and Spatial Change
Roskilde University
Universitetsvej 1, PO Box 260

The deadline for receipt of applications is Friday 15 February, 12:00.
Material received after this time will not be taken into account.
Applications sent by e-mail will not be considered.
