Phd-position in Climate-societal Relationships in

vor 4 Wochen


Basel, Schweiz Universität Basel Vollzeit

**Your position**

The establishment of firm causal links between societies and climatic fluctuations requires detailed and accurate archaeological/historical and climatic/environmental datasets. As team member of the recently funded ERC Consolidator Grant SSE1K “Science, society and environmental change in the first millennium CE” (to Prof. Helen Foxhall Forbes), the advertised PhD position will examine both environmental and archaeological data from the eastern Mediterranean region. He/She will gather existing and new paleoclimate reconstructions from the region and evaluate their chronological uncertainties. In addition, he/she will be also given the opportunity to develop new climatic reconstructions from stalagmites in order to obtain the most suitable records for investigating human-climate relationships during the first millennium CE. The PhD-student will focus on both long-term climatic changes and extreme events, such as multi-year droughts. Supported by SSE1K project members (Prof. Helen Foxhall Forbes, Prof. Theresa Jäckh, Prof. Dan Lawrence and several postdoctoral researchers), he/she will compare the climate reconstructions with land-use data, archaeological and textual evidence to better understand the impact of climate on past population trends and food production systems at a variety of spatial and temporal scales

**Your profile**
