The Institute is the largest department in its field in the UK, with an international graduate research community, and the broadest range of coverage of any UK department. It offers a uniquely stimulating environment for the study of all fields of archaeology and related areas of museum studies and cultural heritage. With a total of 60+ research-active staff pursuing high-quality research across five continents, the Institute is at the international forefront in all aspects of archaeology, archaeological science, conservations, heritage and museum studies. This studentship is funded by an EU Synergy grant awarded to UCL and Gothenburg and Copenhagen Universities. Synergy projects represent the top level of European Research Council funding. In the project "From correlations to explanations: towards a new European prehistory (COREX)", which began in 2021 and will run until 2027, geneticists and archaeologists from UCL (led by Mark Thomas and Stephen Shennan) have joined forces witch archaeologists from Gothenburg University, geneticists and archaeologists from the University of Copenhagen and the Danish National Museum, together with pollen analysists from the University of Plymouth. The project is combining prehistoric human genomic, archaeological, environmental, stable isotope and climate data to better understand the processes that shaped our biological and cultural past from the time of the first farmers to the Iron Age. See www.corex-erc.com for more information about the project. About the role The PhD studentship in the macro-scale analysis of European Neolithic and Bronze Age Settlement and monument data, is an exciting opportunity to join a high-profile international interdisciplinary team addressing major questions at the frontier of current archaeological research. The PhD will contribute to building the project database, which will feed into further analytical packages. Further information about the studentship can be found in the attached document.

PhD studentship in the macro-scale analysis of European Neolithic and Bronze Age settlement and monument data, funded as part of the ERC-funded Synergy project From correlations to explanations: towards a new European prehistory (COREX) UCL Institute of Archaeology, University College London, UK This is an exciting opportunity to join a high-profile international interdisciplinary team addressing major questions at the frontier of current archaeological research. This position is funded by an EU Synergy grant awarded to UCL and Gothenburg and Copenhagen Universities. Synergy projects represent the top level of European Research Council funding, with a budget of €10 million over six years. In the project “From correlations to explanations: towards a new European prehistory (COREX)”, which began in 2021 and will run until 2027, geneticists and archaeologists from University College London (led by Mark Thomas and Stephen Shennan) have joined forces with archaeologists from Gothenburg University(led by Kristian Kristiansen and Karl-Göran Sjögren), geneticists and archaeologists from the University of Copenhagen (led by Kurt Kjær, Eske Willerslev and Fernando Racimo) and the Danish National Museum, together with pollen analysts from the University of Plymouth. The project is combining prehistoric human genomic, archaeological, environmental, stable isotope and climate data to better understand the processes that shaped our biological and cultural past from the time of the first farmers to the Iron Age (6000 to 500 BC) (see https://www.corex-erc.com). The PhD project will contribute to Work Package 1 (Building the project database), which feeds into further analytical packages. It will be based in the Institute of Archaeology, UCL, under the supervision of Prof Stephen Shennan. The Institute of Archaeology (see http://www.ucl.ac.uk/archaeology) is one of the leading academic departments of archaeology in the UK and globally. The project is designed to complement other aspects of COREX and the appointee will work especially closely with Research Fellows Dr Robert Staniuk, who is gathering a database of burial data, and Dr Jan Kolář, working on a database of radiocarbon dates, both in the Institute of Archaeology, as well as with Adrian Timpson, based in the UCL Dept of Genetics, Evolution and Environment, who is in overall charge of the COREX database. Main purpose of the studentship ▪ To collect and analyse data on structures and settlement organization and/or on communal monuments from a selected area or areas within the scope of the COREX project (continental Europe north of the Mediterranean from the North Sea to the Urals), leading to the production of a PhD thesis at University College London. The specific regions and problems to be addressed are open to discussion but should relate to the overall aims of the COREX project, concerned with exploring the relationships between genetic, environmental and cultural changes in Europe 6000-500 BCE. As part of your application (see below) you must outline a specific topic you would wish to pursue, within the broad remit indicated above, that corresponds to your own interests. ▪ To collaborate with other team members on Work Package 1, which aims to integrate existing and newly collected large-scale archaeological data, existing ancient genomes, dietary and mobility isotope results, land cover inferred from pollen diagrams, and new eDNA results. This will provide the basis for exploring the relations between patterns in these different phenomena and modelling how small-scale processes can generate large-scale patterns in genetic and cultural data. Duties and responsibilities ▪ collaborate with other team members in carrying out data collection, data analyses, writing papers and making conference presentations. ▪ take part in regular project meetings, online and in person in London, Gothenburg and Copenhagen. Qualifications and experience • A Masters or equivalent degree in archaeology or another relevant subject with at least 70% overall and 70% in the dissertation (or equivalent). The subject of the Masters thesis and/or other research publications should be broadly relevant to the subject area. • Experience of collecting and analysing quantitative, including spatial, archaeological data • Relevant IT skills, including database management • Meet UCL’s English requirement if your first language is not English (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/prospective-students/graduate/english-language-requirements) • Knowledge of European languages other than English is desirable Funding Funding is available for a 36 month full-time PhD position in the form of a stipend: Year 1: £22,278; Year 2: £24,093; Year 3: £26,057; total amount: £72,428.
