Research Associate in the Economy of the Roman Fens (Internal only)

(Part Time, Fixed Term)

Internal applicants to the university only.

The Fenscapes Project is seeking to appoint a Research Associate to lead the enhanced analysis of Roman period plant and animal remains from the Fens of eastern England. The post-holder will be responsible for developing new insights into the economy of the Roman Fens based upon synthetic statistical analyses of environmental archaeological data. The post-holder will also work with the Fenscapes team to explore connections between their analyses and comparable datasets for the Later Iron Age and early medieval periods.

Key responsibilities

  • Collation of new database of robust archaeobotanical and zooarchaeological assemblage data from across the study area, including liaison for external sources.
  • Statistical analysis of the new dataset to identify trends in resource production, redistribution and consumption during the Roman period.
  • Working with the Fenscapes team to identify economic spatiotemporal patterns in tandem with the GIS resource that is a primary output of the wider project.
  • Working with the Fenscapes team to identify archaeological assemblages that merit additional radiocarbon dating or scientific analyses to further the project aims.
  • Provide support, where appropriate, for outreach and public engagement activities led by the Fenscapes Project.

    • Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 6 months in the first instance.
