[Aqualist] PhD scholarship - archaeological research on the legacies of mining in Victoria

[Larissa Schneider]

Dear AQUA Colleagues,


Please see below information(and flyer attached with more details) for a committed PhD scholarship available at Latrobe University to an outstanding candidate to undertake archaeological research on the legacies of mining in Victoria.

This committed PhD scholarship will be awarded to a qualified applicant with a background in Archaeology or Heritage.

Lost Mines: The Troubled Legacies of Former Mining Landscapes is a project funded by the ARC to investigate how historic gold mining activities have left a toxic legacy of mercury in Victoria.   The project integrates historical archaeology, environmental humanities and environmental science in order to document the spatial distribution of contaminants and novel ways of understanding industrial heritage. The PhD is within the field of historical archaeology and will involve collaboration with environmental historians, hydrologists and biogeochemists from La Trobe University, Monash University and the Australian National University.

The candidate will undertake original research on archaeological sites associated with Victoria's historic gold mining industry with a focus on locations of gold processing and waste disposal. The candidate will undertake archival research and fieldwork to document sites where mercury was used and will produce a landscape analysis of historic mining waste in Victoria. The PhD candidate will be based in Archaeology at La Trobe University (Melbourne).

Please contact Professor Susan Lawrence for more information S.Lawrence at latrobe.edu.au<mailto:S.Lawrence at latrobe.edu.au> .

Kind regards,

Larissa


Please note my work days are Mon-Thu.
