Call for Papers post to listserve
by Ashley Maxwell 12 Jan '18

12 Jan '18

Hello, I would like to put out a call for papers for the EAA (European Association of rchaeologists Meeting) in Barcelona, Spain September 5-8. I am co-chairing a session (#254) entitled, "Mobility and Culture Change during Transitional Periods in and around the Alpine Region." Please see the abstract below and submit by February 15th at: https://www.e-a-a.org/eaa2018 *Abstract (Session 254)* Transitional periods, often accompanying the migrations of people and/or cultures to an area, are times of significant socio-cultural change as evidenced in the archaeological record. These periods are particularly important to study, as they can provide context and understanding to the resulting assimilation, colonization, and ethnogenesis of populations. We aim to discuss how the migration of people during key transitional periods in the history of the Alpine region altered the social, economic, and political landscapes as evidenced by human and animal remains as well as material culture. We are interested in papers dealing with various transitional periods, for example, from the Mesolithic to Neolithic, Copper Age to Bronze Age, Bronze Age to Iron Age, Pre-Roman to Roman Period, and Late Roman to Early Medieval Period. Although there are multiple methodological approaches to answering questions related to migration and socio-economic change, this session will focus on the use of archaeological science, including biochemical analyses of human and faunal remains, i.e. stable isotopes, ancient DNA analysis, and provenience studies on material remains to discuss these transitional periods in the archaeological record. We invite scholars to present papers with a geographic focus in and around the Alpine region, including Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, and Monaco who are studying (1) the impact of migration on social, economic, or political environments during key transitional periods, and (2) employing archaeological science methodologies. -- Ashley Maxwell, M.A. Doctoral Candidate and Graduate Assistant University of South Florida Department of Anthropology

Ancient Near Eastern Empires doctoral researcher positions open at the University of Helsinki
by Jouni Tuominen 10 Jan '18

10 Jan '18

Dear colleagues, I'm sending you the doctoral researcher call (see below) on behalf of Saana Svärd, director of the Centre of Excellence in "Ancient Near Eastern Empires" at the University of Helsinki. Best regards, Jouni Tuominen ******************************************************************** ANEE is pleased to announce we are looking for doctoral candidates. Application text below, link here: <https://www.helsinki.fi/en/open-positions/doctoral-researchers-anee-1-3> The Centre of Excellence in “Ancient Near Eastern Empires” (ANEE) at the University of Helsinki will run from 2018–2025 and is directed by Dr. Saana Svärd. ANEE asks: How do changing imperial dynamics impact social group identities and lifeways over a millennium? ANEE covers the Neo-Assyrian, Neo-Babylonian, Persian, Hellenistic, and early Roman / Parthian Empires. ANEE engages with methodologically varied yet integrated research on the long-term processes by which social group identities and lifeways were negotiated. Taken together, the innovations of ANEE are the integrated longue durée approach; and the methodological innovativeness of each team (both separately and in collaboration). There will be several recruitment calls for fixed term positions during ANEE’s lifespan (doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers, and university researchers). ANEE is now recruiting members for three teams which investigate identity-building processes. Each team has a methodologically specific approach yet collaborates on four work packages. Applications are invited for DOCTORAL RESEARCHERS (1–3) for a fixed term of up to 4 years, starting on or before 1 September 2018 to work in the University of Helsinki. The successful candidates’ research projects will focus on the goals of a team or teams. The applicant should indicate to which team she/he is applying. The selected doctoral candidates will need to apply for acceptance in the graduate school for either the Faculty of Arts or Faculty of Theology in March 2018. Their main duties will consist of PhD studies and writing of a dissertation. As ANEE is deeply multidisciplinary, competence in more than one field and/or proof of successful scientific collaboration will be considered an advantage. Team 1 “Digital Humanities Approaches” develops digital humanities approaches (especially social network analysis and language technology), using these to supplement the more traditional Assyriological approaches. Team 1 is looking for applicants with a solid background in Assyriology or a related field (within the chronological scope of ANEE) and/or skills in Digital Humanities that can be put to use in relation to ANEE’s goals. Team 1 is led by Saana Svärd (saana.svard(a)helsinki.fi). Team 2 “Social Scientific Theory & Applications” tests and refines theoretical models from the social sciences for ancient evidence, integrating anthropological approaches to archaeology with sociological readings of textual and archaeological evidence. Team 2 seeks students with backgrounds in history of the Levant and/or the social sciences, and especially with an interest in migration, forced labor, and/or elite identities, and/or ancient historians of the Persian Empire with similar profiles. Willingness to collaborate with other teams and multiple work packages is desirable. Team 2 is led by Dr. Jason Silverman (jason.silverman(a)helsinki.fi). Team 3 “Material Culture & Community Heritage” investigates the impact of each empire on ancient local communities inhabiting the imperial fringes and provides a sustainable future for this heritage. This it does through an archaeological field survey program in the ancient imperial fringe zone of southern Jordan and by developing a local community outreach program there. Our work in Finland revolves around promoting an understanding of Ancient Near Eastern heritage and culture by developing a touring museum exhibition on the ancient Near East. The team also aims to collaborate with the Finnish authorities to further develop the policies and legislation regarding the trade in illicit antiquities. Team 3 seeks doctoral candidates in ANE archaeology, preferably with experience in GIS, remote sensing, and/or satellite analysis. Team 3 is led by Dr. Antti Lahelma (antti.lahelma(a)helsinki.fi), who is also the vice-director of ANEE. For more information on the three teams and the work packages, please see www.helsinki.fi/ancient-near-eastern-empires An appointee to the position of doctoral researcher must hold a Master’s degree in a relevant field, and must subsequently be accepted as a doctoral candidate in the graduate school in the Faculty of Arts and/or Theology. The appointee must have the ability to conduct independent scientific research. Teaching or teaching-related tasks will form 5 % of the position. The candidate should have excellent analytical and methodological skills, and be able to work both independently and collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary scientific community. The successful candidates are expected to have excellent skills in written and oral English. Skills in Finnish or Swedish are not required. Relocation costs can be negotiated and ANEE will offer help and information for the practicalities, if needed. ANEE is functioning in the Faculty of Arts (Teams 1 and 3) and in the Faculty of Theology (Team 2), located in the City Centre Campus. The city of Helsinki is the capital city of Finland, with a population of ca. 600 000. It has been consistently ranked amongst the top cities in the world for quality of living. Founded in 1640, the University of Helsinki is an international academic community of 40,000 students and staff members. It operates on four campuses in Helsinki and at 15 other locations. The salary for the position will be based on level 2 of the demands level chart for teaching and research personnel in the salary system of Finnish universities. In addition, the appointee will be paid a salary component based on personal performance. The salary is EUR 2,186–2,873 per month, depending on the appointee’s qualifications and experience. The position will be filled with a 4 months trial period. Applications should consist of the following English-language documents: (1) CV including a possible list of publications (max. 3 pages) (2) Contact information for two referees (3) A research statement (max. 2000 words) consisting of i) a brief description of previous experience, such as MA thesis ii) a proposal for the PhD project that the applicant wants to conduct in ANEE (including suggested dates for the project) iii) a brief description of the plans for scientific cooperation within ANEE, preferably specifying relevant team and work packages.

19 Dec '17

Call for Course Proposals - Deadline January 8, 2018 FSCI 2018 (FORCE11 Scholarly Communications Institute) July 30 - August 3, 2018, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA USA · Do you have research, experience, or skills in Scholarly Communication that you can share with others? · Could you help improve Scholarly Communications by proposing and leading a FSCI summer course? · Do you want to teach and learn in a premiere community-led Scholarly Communications Summer School? Course Submission Form: https://goo.gl/yRQKeu [https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/FRHSh8UKt9KCEALr8ZE_98kFPksYbH92qWqrSpPub…]<https://goo.gl/yRQKeu> FSCI 2018 Call for Course Proposals<https://goo.gl/yRQKeu> goo.gl This form is for proposals to run a course at FSCI 2018 at UCSD in La Jolla, California from July 30 to August 3, 2018. Please see the FSCI website www.force11.org/fsci for more detail on how courses are structured and the expectations of instructors. We will work with shortlisted applications in January to finalize the selection of courses. The final program will be announced in February. Submission deadline: January 8, 2017 New and returning instructors are welcome! About FSCI2018 FSCI 2018 (FORCE11 Scholarly Communications Institute) is the premiere Community-led and organised summer school on current trends in Scholarly Communication. Instructors are community members who are passionate about passing on their knowledge and experience to others in Scholarly Communication. They range from up-and-coming researchers and practitioners to world-leading experts. The students they teach come from a wide variety of backgrounds: research, funding, administration, publishing, libraries, and information users. They range from absolute beginners to discipline leaders. They are eager to learn and represent an excellent source of potential collaborations! If you have ideas for a course that could help other members of the community navigate this new world, then we want to hear from you! Course Description FSCI has two types of course. • Morning courses (13-14 hours each), run Monday - Friday approximately 09:00 - 12:30 with a coffee break each day. Morning courses tend to contain more fundamental material or focus on broader areas of study. Examples from 2017 include “Reproducibility in Theory and Practice” and “Inside Scholarly Communications Today”. • Afternoon courses (6 hours each) run for three hours after lunch on Monday/Tuesday and on Wednesday/Thursday. (In response to feedback from FSCI 2017, afternoon course instructors will run their classes twice to maximise availability). Afternoon courses tend to be a bit more specialised and sometimes more technical. These are excellent places for advanced topics. In all cases, we encourage instructors to design their material around a hands-on, workshop format. Student evaluations suggest that attendees want to try things out for themselves and are less patient with a lecture-centered approach. You can see some of the titles we had last year below. How to Propose a Course You can propose a course using our Course Proposal Form. This form asks you for a title, instructor(s), and some background on you and your proposed topic. A programming committee will review course proposals with the goal of choosing the best combination of topics, skill-levels, and disciplinary focus. What Support Can I Expect? FSCI will provide basic technical support for instructors. If you have specialised needs, we will do our best to arrange additional support. In addition, FSCI will provide complimentary tuition fees, housing, and meals for 1 instructor per course. We are currently unable to provide reimbursement for travel costs to and from San Diego, though we are seeking funding. We hope to be able to secure some funding with a focus on providing support to instructors from Low and Mid Income Economies. Additional information about travel support will be posted as it becomes available. If you do require travel funding to participate in FSCI, please indicate this on the submission form. Sample Courses from Previous Year • Altmetrics: Where Are We Now and Where Are We Headed Next? • Applying Design Thinking and User Research to the Scholarly Communication Problem Space • AuthorCarpentry: A Hands-on Approach to Open Authorship and Publishing • Building Public Participation in Research • Communication and Advocacy for Research Transparency • Data Citation Implementation for Data Repositories • Data in the Scholarly Communications Life Cycle • How Universities Can Create an Open Access Culture • Identifying How Scientific Papers Are Shared and Who Is Sharing Them on Twitter • Inside Scholarly Communications Today • Open Annotation Tools and Techniques • Open Humanities 101 • Opening the Sandbox: Supporting Student Research as a Gateway to Open Practice • Opening Up Research and Data • Perspectives on Peer Review • Research Reproducibillity in Theory and Practice • Scholarship in the 21th Century Building an Open and Information-rich Research Institute • Software Citation: Principles, Usage, Benefits, and Challenges • Starting Out: Skills and Tools for Early Career Knowledge Workers • Technology and Tools for Academic Library Teams • The Sci-AI Platform: Enabling Literature-Based Discovery • Tips, Tools, and Tactics for Managing Digital Projects in Research and in the Classroom • Using New Metrics: A Practical Guide to Increasing the Impact of Research • Using the Open Science Framework To Increase Openness and Reproducibility in Research • Using Wikidata in Research and Curation • Walking the Line Between Advocacy and Activism in Scholarly Communication • When 'Global' is Local: Scholarly Communications in the Global South Bookmark the website and watch for further information.
