The Fellowships are a joint initiative of the Center for the Human Past (CHP) and the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study (SCAS).

Deadline for applications: 2 June 2025.

The fellowship aims to attract researchers interested in the human past, combining methods and materials from different disciplines. The primary focus is research on three major migration events: Indo-European, Bantu, and Austronesian expansions. We invite scholars interested in exploring archaeological evidence, linguistic changes, or genetic factors associated with these archaeological and linguistic expansions.

You can find the whole announcement on the SCAS website:

    Carina Schlebusch’s current research—in a nutshell

    Carina Schlebusch is combining archaeology, genetics and biochemistry with the aim of discovering how human genes have adapted to changing lifestyles over thousands of years. Prehistoric DNA from skeletal remains in Africa can provide answers to questions about diet, disease and survival, and perhaps even offer clues about humanity’s future health. The goal now is…

I trained initially as an archaeologist at the University of Liverpool, specialising in archaeological science and early human evolution, which provided a strong foundation in archaeological practice, material analysis, and the ethical dimensions of working with human remains and cultural heritage.”…
