Housing, Per Diem and transportation to-and-from the field will be provided for all field research activities.



Laboratory activities will be primarily on-campus in the Geoarchaeology Laboratory at UGA. https://research.franklin.uga.edu/geoarchNSF; https://anthropology.uga.edu/research/labs/geoarchaeology-laboratory



Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statements of research and teaching interests, and contact information for 3 references.
