Research Fellow in the sedaDNA of Ancient Ports

University of Southampton – Landscape Dynamics and Ecology

https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DLT768/research-fellow-in-the-sedadna-of-ancient-ports

Full Time Fixed Term (until 31/05/2028)

We are looking to recruit a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to be part of the PortGEN Project team with special responsibility for the extraction, analysis and application of sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA). The purpose of this role is to undertake sedaDNA and related research in accordance with the specified research project under the supervision of the award holder Professor Tony Brown.

Port harbors are the umbilical cords of civilizations uniting land and sea and can provide a unique ‘window’ on population, diet/health, technology and environmental change. Being the lifeblood of complex societies, ports can reveal how society adapted to changing environmental conditions, from disease to floods. So far, the ‘past of ports’ has been explored using archaeology, texts, plant/animal remains (seeds and bones), microfossils (e.g. pollen) and geochemistry. Since the discovery that extra-cellular ancient DNA can be preserved in sediments 20 years ago, it has been used in lakes, estuaries, floodplains, soils and marine sediments. Recent research outside archaeology has shown that shallow-marine sediments can retain DNA for thousands of years as so-called ancient sedimentary DNA (sedaDNA).

Important recent studies of the sedimentology and geomorphology of ancient ports has have also allowed us to understand both the processes of siltation and the effects of dredging. This is critical to deriving reliable time-sequences spanning well-defined periods in Classical antiquity. These advances will be coupled with some new sedimentological techniques (portable optical stimulated luminescence), which will be trialed on two smaller port sites in southern England and one in the south of France. The sedaDNA will be largely identified using metabarcoding, which involves DNA extraction and then using polymerized chain-reactions (PCR) to amplify targeted regions of ancient DNA sequences from the sediment. But we will also use techniques that do not use PCR, to look at DNA quality and a variety of micro-biological remains including pathogens and even bacteria from the human and animal guts.

So PortGEN will be the first project to systematically explore this potential using harbour sediments, much already collected and from some of the best-known ports in the ancient world. This includes Classical ports at (Rome (Ostia, Portus), Venice, Ephesus & many more. The project is highly collaborative with the CNRS in France (Strasbourg), The Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute in the UK, experts on the Mediterranean world, and a large number of site excavators. It is believed that PortGEN will provide new insights into the lives & economic activities of ancient civilizations.

A working knowledge and experience in sedaDNA is desirable but not essential as candidates with research experience in cognate fields (e.g. biomarkers, molecular ecology, palaeoecology) may be considered as full training in sedaDNA methods can be provided.

The School of Geography and Environmental Science is committed to fostering a culture of equality, diversity, and inclusion https://www.southampton.ac.uk/geography/about/equality-diversity-and-inclusion.page]. The School are committed to providing equal opportunities for all and offer a range of family friendly policies, flexitime and flexible working. We are a Disability Confident employer and the School holds a bronze Athena SWAN award. 

Applications for Research Fellow positions will be considered from candidates who are working towards or nearing completion of a relevant PhD qualification.  The title of Research Fellow will be applied upon successful completion of the PhD. Prior to the qualification being awarded the title of Senior Research Assistant will be given.

The Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde (IOW) is offering 2 * PhD positions in the Marine Geology department

Click to access en_Geo-06-Geo-07-2024-wiss-mit-20241209.pdf

During the late Pleistocene and Early Holocene, Northern Europe was populated by mobile hunter gatherers. Due to their non-sedentary lifestyle, traces of these
societies are difficult to find, which hampers our understanding of how they lived and developed. Some parts of the SW Baltic Sea, however, only drowned in the Holocene and may therefore preserve anthropogenic structures and landscapes from these Palaeolithic/ early Mesolithic times. Recently, a submerged stonewall, likely a Stone Age architecture used for hunting, has been discovered in the SW Baltic Sea.

A 3-years project (SEASCAPE) is funded by the Leibniz Association aiming to
understand in more details this structure, identify other hitherto unrecognized Stone Age megastructures, and reconstruct the paleo-environment in which these structures were build. The SEASCAPE project involves archaeologists, geologists, geophysicists and paleoclimatologists from the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde (IOW), the Leibniz-Zentrum für Archäologie (LEIZA), the University of Rostock and Kiel University.

In the frame of the SEASCAPE project, the Marine Geology Department of the IOW is seeking for two PhD students to:

Geo 06/2024 Analyse sediment cores retrieved from basins in the SW Baltic
Sea. The sediments will be used in a “multi-proxy” approach (sedimentology,
organic and inorganic geochemistry, micropalaeontology) to reconstruct paleoenvironmental conditions during the late Pleistocene and early Holocene, when the stonewall might have been build.

Geo 07/2024 Analyse marine geophysical (seismic, multibeam echosounder,
side-scan sonar) and visual data to reconstruct the detailed morphology and texture of the stonewall and search for other submerged Stone Age architectures at the bottom of the Baltic Sea.

The Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde (IOW) is offering a

PhD position in the Marine Geology department

Click to access en_Geo-08-2024-wiss-mit-20241212.pdf

The wealth of well-preserved submerged archaeological sites of Holocene hunter gatherer-fisher communities in the SW Baltic Sea is an outstanding characteristic of the region. Detailed geophysical surveys of such areas have the potential to reconstruct landscapes on a microregional scale and help to define preferred zones of Stone Age inhabitation and thus optimal zones for archaeological exploration.

The PhD position is within the framework of the European synergy grant project SUBNORDICA funded by the European Research Council (ERC). The project investigates drowned landscapes in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. It combines expertise from the Universities of Bradford (UK) and Aarhus (DK), the Museum Moesgaard (DK), the Lower Saxony Institute for Historical Coastal Research (D) and the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde (D) as well as further European partners.

The PhD position will investigate the drowned landscapes surrounding submarine archaeological sites in the SW Baltic Sea. The research objective is to reconstruct the topography of different paleolandscapes on the basis of geophysical data (seismic, multibeam echosounder, side scan sonar) and to interpret them with the help of archaeological and geological data.
