Vienna Doctoral School of Ecology and Evolution
The Vienna Doctoral School of Ecology and Evolution is dedicated to educating students to advance our understanding of the ecology and evolution of extant and ancestral organisms, populations, and communities. In Ecology, the focus is on uncovering the mechanistic and evolutionary drivers of patterns and processes across biological scales, from gene regulation to ecosystem structure and function, including the role of communities in biogeochemical cycles and their adaptive responses to environmental change. In Evolution, we investigate the processes shaping changes in organization and dynamics of organisms, populations, and species at molecular, developmental, morphological, and physiological levels.
PhD position available in Pleistocene animal genomics, combining cutting-edge deep sequencing and pangenome analysis approaches. Join us!

Working on an article, and stumbled on this after many years. Incredible no? Camelid fiber woven bag/basket from pre-urban Tiwanaku (~AD 400-600), from Southern Peru or northern Chile. Published in Nicole Couture's chapter in the 2004 "Tiwanaku: Ancestor of the Inca" book.

New temporal dimensions of the Linearbandkeramik cemetery horizon in Schwetzingen (Germany)
Lovely new paper by @pennybickle.bsky.social and team, using some NEIF funded dates to suggest European Neolithic cemeteries were a short-lived phenomenon. 20 years on, things are still getting shorter! @oxradiocarbon.bsky.social www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

The Commission is pushing for a massive increase in funding for Horizon Europe 2028-2034. If I understand correctly, Pillar I, which includes @erc.europa.eu and Marie Sklodowska Curie fellowships, would go from the current €25 billion to €44 billion. Let's hope it happens!

2000 years ago: the Romans would let an aqueduct destroy the Gardon Valley. We need clean water, but at what cost?
