About this position

PhD position in Archaeometallurgy at CNRS / IRAMAT-LAPA, based at the CEA Saclay site in Gif-sur-Yvette, France.

The project investigates early medieval economic structures and connectivity across a pan-European context (6th–10th centuries), using archaeological and historical approaches. The doctoral research will focus on iron alloys from archaeological contexts such as settlements, monasteries, cemeteries, and other sites linked to exchange networks and material circulation.

The successful candidate will carry out metallographic examinations and chemical characterizations of archaeological objects, mainly using SEM-EDS and LA-ICP-MS. The work is embedded in a broader collective project involving historians, archaeologists, anthropologists, and archaeometrists, and includes collaboration with researchers and students across several European countries.

Eligibility highlights: background in history/archaeology or a related field, basic knowledge of physicochemical characterization of metallic materials, and strong interest in archaeological and historical interpretation. Skills in multivariate statistics, machine learning, R, or Python are desirable. Basic French is required.

Funding: temporary full-time doctoral contract supported by Horizon Europe / ERC Synergy. No stipend amount is stated in the post.

Deadline: 22 August 2026, 23:59 UTC. Start date: 1 October 2026.

Apply via the CNRS vacancy page and review the Euraxess listing for the full application instructions.
