Ichthyoarchaeology Research Assistant

The Ecological Legacies in Archaeology (ELLA) Lab in the Department of Anthropology at UCSC is a collaborative space for the study of long-term interactions between living organisms, including humans, and their environments through zooarchaeology. Ongoing research in the lab focuses on the social and ecological impacts of past fisheries along the coasts of eastern Africa, southwestern Madagascar, and the Kafue River floodplain in Zambia.

We are looking to fill two ichthyoarchaeology research positions in the lab. Working under the supervision of Assistant Professor Quintana Morales, the specialists' core duties will include osteometric and morphological analysis of fish remains from archaeological sites and development of a digitized reference specimen database.

Applicants with research experience in the regions associated with the lab projects, including Zambia, Madagascar, and eastern Africa are strongly encouraged to apply.

The hiring unit will not sponsor employment-eligible immigration statuses for this position.
