Requirements include an excellent Archaeobotany Ph.D. in Biology/ Geosciences or a field connected to Archaeology/ Antiquity Studies, as well as a qualified research proposal. Candidates should be willing to participate in the development of long-term archaeobotanical crop growing experiments. A publication record in internationally recognized journals is desirable.
The contract runs until October 31, 2017, starting on November 1, 2015 if possible. The salary will be at the TV-L 13 (100%) level. Application deadline is September 01, 2015.
